Summary
Congress is still out of a town and won't be back until Wednesday night. That gives them two days to figure out a way to keep the government open. Donald Trump is HAPPY to shut down the government, but GOP politicians don't necessarily agree. How will this play out? We'll know by the end of the week.
Plus, Senate Intel committee has shown just how wide-reaching the Russian interference in the election was. It was WIDESPREAD across all social media platforms.
We talk to Jon Allen from NBC News, Rebecca Leber from Mother Jones and Alice Ollstein from Politico!
