The White House is admitting that they have no plan and no clue how they are going to end the government shutdown that Trump caused.
The Wall Street Journal reported:

The Senate this week is expected to vote on a border-security proposal put forward by President Trump that is unlikely to garner enough support to cross procedural hurdles, leaving no clear path forward as the partial government shutdown stretches into its fifth week.
The White House and Republican congressional leaders don’t appear to have crafted any contingency strategy if the president’s proposal fails a Senate vote.

“No idea,” one White House official said, asked about backup plans to end the shutdown. The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The report was backed up by statements from White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley when he was asked if the White House has a contingency plan for what to do after Trump’s offer fails in the Senate.

Gidley said, “That’s a hypothetical. The president wants an open government and secure border. His plan does that. We hope to vote on it today. It looks like it won’t be until Thursday.”

The shutdown will end when Trump reopens the government.
The way out of the government shutdown remains the same as it was yesterday, last week, and last month. Trump needs to reopen the government. The money for the wall is not coming from Congress. No legislation that includes wall funding will pass Congress. The clueless president is trapped between his promise to “build the wall” and the wrath of the right wing of his own party if he does anything on immigration beyond the wall.

Trump needs to reopen the government without the wall then cut a deal with Congress on immigration. In other words, he needs to do exactly what the Democrats have offered. No wall money for ending the shutdown, but they can talk about border security that isn’t the wall.
Millions of Americans are being hurt economically, and the reason why is that Donald Trump has no idea what he is doing.

Seven people have pleaded guilty or been convicted (SO FAR) in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, with one other person pleading guilty to charges brought after a referral by Mr. Mueller’s office. Another 26 individuals have been indicted, along with three Russian companies.

The Department of Justice files an application to surveil Carter Page under a FISA warrant, based onPage’s contacts and relationships with Russian nationals before and during his time on the Trump campaign.

Carter Page was one of the five members of then-candidate Donald Trump’s foreign policy advisory team that he named to The Washington Post editorial board on March 21, 2016. The announcement initially drew attention because Page, who owns (and is the sole employee of) the energy consulting firm Global Energy Capital, was a relative unknown; his position has since attracted additional scrutiny because of his ties to Russia, multiple trips to Moscow, and appearance in the Steele Dossier.
