Government shuts down tonight barring a deal. And, U.S. military leaders gather in VA

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) (L) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) talk to reporters at the U.S. Capitol on Sept. 29 in Washington, D.C. Schumer, Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) met with President Trump earlier in the day at the White House to try and avoid a government shutdown at midnight Sept. 30.

Federal agencies are at risk of running out of funding tonight if Congress does not reach an agreement. And, hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals are gathering for a rare meeting with Trump today.
