The stock market is down 500 points. Secretary Mattis is leaving. We know he had serious disagreements with President Trump over Syria and the wall.

Senate Republicans need the support of nine Democrats to pass the House short-term spending bill.
In his remarks at the Senate floor earlier Thursday, Schumer said, “Democrats are not budging on the wall. We favor smart, effective border security, not a medieval wall. A Trump shut down will not convince a single Democrat to support bilking the American taxpayer for an ineffective, unnecessary and exorbitantly expensive wall.”
