House Republican predicts shutdown will last beyond Thanksgiving
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) on Friday said the government shutdown, the longest in modern U.S. history, will stretch past Thanksgiving.
"I think it's going to go on after Thanksgiving," Burchett told anchor Black Burman on "The Hill on NewsNation."

Senate Republican: Leadership ‘ignores me’ on shutdown solution
Republican Sen. John Kennedy (La.) said the Senate has done “zero, zilch, nada” since it passed the tax and spending megabill in July and that leadership “ignores” him when he proposes solutions to bypass Democrats.

“I don’t blame the president for being frustrated,” he said. ...
Senate GOP rips Democratic offer to end shutdown: ‘Nonstarter’

Schumer offers plan to end shutdown on Senate floor
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) offered a plan Friday to end the government shutdown, headlined by a one-year extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits and a short-term spending bill.
“Democrats have said we must address the health care crisis, but Republicans have repeatedly said they won’t negotiate to lower the health care costs until the government reopens,” Schumer said on the floor, with other Democrats in the chamber. “So let’s fin...
Greene: US ‘may be headed for a recession’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) warned the U.S. “may be headed for recession” in her latest break with the GOP and President Trump, who has insisted prices decreased, dismissing concerns about the economy.
“We’re seeing real softening in the economy, as we may be headed for a recession here, as we go into the holidays,” Greene told Fox's "LiveNow" host Josh Breslow on Friday, adding there had been “enough political drama.”
