Neither party wants the government to close ahead of the midterm elections that will determine control of Congress, but Trump has made clear his frustration at the lack of money for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. 

President Donald Trump stumped for GOP congressman and gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis in Florida Tuesday night in a "Make America Great Again" rally that touched on most of the president's favorite topics. 

A handful of conservative members of Congress officially introduced articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday in a move that had been threatened for weeks. 

A Senate vote to end debate that would have moved toward a vote on a short-term spending bill failed Friday night, teeing up the government for an all-but-certain shutdown at midnight.

The House on Thursday passed a GOP-backed short-term spending bill that would fund the government through Feb. 16. 

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its analysis of the Republican health-care bill Monday. CBO says that by 2018, 14 million more people would be uninsured under the legislation than under current law.
