US EditionRepublicans slam Katherine Clark's shutdown leverage comments
Katherine Clark admits the shutdown is used as leverage during stalled funding talks, which have now lasted over three weeks with no negotiations, officials said.

- Sixteen Colorado school districts are reporting financial stress as President Donald Trump balances delayed emergency aid for farmers against foreign policy priorities affected by the shutdown.
