Top congressional leaders from both parties are scheduled to meet with President Trump at the White House tomorrow.

They have until Tuesday night to reach an agreement to avoid a partial government shutdown.

Well, the top leaders of Congress are going to the White House tomorrow. The big four

congressional leaders, Senate Majority Leader Thune, Senator, Senate Minority Leader Schumer,

House Speaker Johnson and House Minority Leader Jeffries, they're all going to be talking about a

shutdown, but they don't have a lot of time. There's a September 30th deadline to approve

legislation or face a partial government shutdown.

Democrats say they won't vote for a funding bill unless Obamacare subsidies, which allow millions of people to buy health insurance, are extended.

In Pierce Mara Liason reporting, President Trump says he will attend an unusual meeting of top military officers at a base in Northern Virginia Tuesday.

Trump confirmed his attendance in an interview with NBC News. But it's not clear if he plans to give a

formal address to the hundreds of officers called to the U.S. from around the globe. Defense Secretary

Pete Hegseth, who summoned the military brass, has released few details about the meeting.

Missouri has joined Texas in redrawing its congressional maps to protect the Republican majority in the midterm elections.

As St. Louis Public Radio's Rachel Lipman reports, Republican Governor Mike Kehoe signed the bill today.

The new map breaks up the Kansas City Area District of Democrat Emmanuel Cleaver into three. That could give the GOP a chance to win seven of Missouri's eight seats, up from the six it currently holds. The bill signing was close to the media. The map already faces multiple legal challenges, and there is a possibility it never takes effect.

Opponents are already gathering signatures to force a statewide vote.

If they are successful, voters would have to approve the new districts.
