The Senate adjourned for the day Saturday afternoon without coming to an agreement on a spending deal that would end a partial government shutdown — guaranteeing the federal closures will continue until after Christmas.The developments come hours after members of Congress and President Donald Trump were unable to reach an agreement Friday night, resulting in the third government shutdown of the year.There will be a pro forma Senate session on Monday, but the next actual session is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on the Senate floor earlier Saturday that there would be no action on the floor until Trump and Senate Democrats come to an agreement.McConnell said the Senate was, in the meantime, pushing "the pause button" while the two parties attempt to work out a deal.He then began discussing the importance of border security and "securing the homeland."Later in the day, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer addressed Trump while speaking on the Senate floor, saying, "President Trump, if you want to open the government, you must abandon the wall -- plain and simple."During his speech, Schumer said Trump must publicly say he will support any agreement in an effort to avoid what happened earlier in the week, when White House aides indicated Trump would sign a stopgap spending measure, but then later said he would not.Schumer also responded to McConnell's earlier comments that an agreement would need to be made between both Trump and Senate Democrats.Schumer said McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan must also support any deal publicly."Leader McConnell can't duck out of it," Schumer said.On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence, budget director Mick Mulvaney and the President's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, came to Capitol Hill, where they stayed into the evening after both the House and Senate adjourned for the night.Pence returned to Capitol Hill on Saturday, where he was set to meet with Schumer.The vice president was expected to give a readout of a White House lunch Trump held with some conservative House Freedom Caucus members and other Republican lawmakers. Schumer was expected to reiterate that border wall money can't pass the Senate, a Schumer aide said.Any bill to re-open the government will need 60 votes to pass the Senate because of procedural rules, meaning Republicans will need some Democratic votes.Funding for roughly a quarter of the federal government expired at midnight, including appropriations for the departments of Homeland Security, Justice, Housing and Urban Development and other parts of the government. This is the first time in 40 years that the government will have been closed three times in a year.The funding legislation that earlier this week seemed certain to pass both chambers was thrown into limbo on Thursday when Trump told House GOP members he would not sign a bill unless it included billion to fund a border wall.Despite the House of Representatives passing a bill on Thursday, which included this demand, it was clear on Friday that there was not enough support in the Senate for the bill, including the billion for the wall, to clear.Friday night, a path forward appeared ambiguous, as all sides seemed stagnant in their demands days before the Christmas holiday, when Congress was expected to be out of session.Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, who was briefed by Pence, Kushner and Mulvaney on Friday, told CNN's Suzanne Malveaux on Saturday morning that the hope is McConnell will have a deal to announce when the Senate reconvenes at noon.The debate between the White House and Congress focuses not just on how much money to allocate to border security, but also on the language stipulating where and how that money can be spent, he said."What is fencing, what is land ports of entry, what's technology, what's staffing?" Lankford said. "I think there's a general agreement ... that we need to do border security. Now's figuring out how much for each amount.""Right now we're trying to finalize all the final text and to be able to make sure everyone's looked at it, everyone's agreed, signed off on it. ..." he said. "Then we'll move to a vote 24 hours from there."Lankford also said he is "confident" that if Pence says the President is on board with any deal, Trump will keep to his word."We've agreed in the Senate we're not bringing anything to the floor until we know all three bodies have agreed to it," Lankford said. "Then we can expedite it through the process on the floor."If there's no an agreement, Lankford said he believes the American people will be looking at a much longer shutdown.A Senate Democratic aide said Saturday that talks continue at the staff level and confirmed that any deal will need signoff from congressional leadership and Trump before it comes to a vote. Democrats continue to push for border security options that they believe work, rather than a wall. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has insisted to Pence and Republicans that the President must sign off on that before a vote.Trump earlier on Friday predicted a shut down, but placed the blame on Democrats, saying "it's really the Democrat shutdown, because we've done our thing."The chances are probably very good" that there is a shutdown," Trump said Friday afternoon.He later added: "Now it's up to the Democrats as to whether we have a shutdown tonight. I hope we don't, but we're totally prepared for a very long shutdown."And in 5487

The United States Army wants more soldiers. Last year, the recruitment goal was gaining 76,500 new recruits. The Army didn’t make that mission, enlisting only about 70,000 soldiers. This year, the recruitment goal is getting 68,000 new pairs of boots on the ground. Finding qualified candidates, however, isn’t what it used to be. “Ten years ago, it was pretty easy to find qualified individuals,” says U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Robert Dodge. “In the last couple years, it’s gone down.”In an attempt to help with recruiting, the US Army is trying something brand new this year: it built a gaming trailer on an 18-wheeler that will be taken across the country with the idea of getting more young people interested in joining the military through video games. “It is a way to attract a younger audience,” Sgt. Dodge says. “Sixty percent of Americans have some sort of gaming console.”Sgt. Dodge says 71 percent of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 do not qualify to for military service. The reasons range from drug history to health problems with obesity being the number one disqualifier.Now, recruiters are shifting gears and setting their sights on a new pool of potential soldiers: gamers.“We’re looking for that 17 to 24 year old and we’re looking for the best and the brightest that America has to offer,” Sgt. Dodge says.So far, this tactic appears to be raising some interest in attracting potential soldiers.At 20 years old, Adrian Bugarin is in the age range the military is looking for.“Definitely something to think about, especially with this, because I want to get into computer science, too,” he says. “I know they do stuff with college. So, I’ll definitely look into that.” 1708

The Pentagon has formally launched a new space-focused development agency that it hopes will form a central part of President Donald Trump's sought-after Space Force.Acting Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan formally launched the Space Development Agency Tuesday, according to a copy of a memo obtained by CNN.The agency will fall under the new US Space Force, should Congress approve the latter's establishment.The goal of the agency is to put all US military space technology development under one roof to speed procurement. However, the memo does not make clear what will become of the Air Force's Space and Missile Systems Center and Space Rapid Capabilities Office, which participate in the development of such capabilities.The agency's creation has been met with some criticism from those who feel it may be redundant."I think there's still concern and I have some concerns about what is the mission of this entity, why do we think it would be better than what we currently do? What exactly would be focused on?" Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said last month at the Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida."Conceptually, there has been a public discussion of this. Conceptually, it would be stood up and then rolled into a Space Force which means it would be a new agency that would exist for probably less than a year," she added.Wilson recently announced her intention to resign.Shanahan's memo says the new agency "will accelerate the development and fielding of new military space capabilities necessary to ensure our technological and military advantage in space for national defense."Space assets developed by the Military Intelligence Program will remain separate.The agency is being tasked with developing advanced space military capabilities and "will be focused on experimentation, prototyping and accelerated fielding as well as leveraging commercial technologies and services" according to the Pentagon's 2020 budget request.The budget request sought nearly 0 million in "new resources" for the new agency, which will have some 50 personnel assigned to it — a mix of reassigned and new personnel.Dr. Fred Kennedy, currently the director of the Tactical Technology Office at DARPA, has been tapped to lead the agency, according to the memo. 2278

The Senate passed Thursday a massive budget deal that would stave off the looming threat of a potential default on US debt and prevent automatic spending cuts to domestic and military funding.The a final vote was 67-28 and the bill will now go to President Donald Trump for his signature.The vote followed days of grumbling from GOP senators about the cost of the package and uncertainty surrounding who will support it.The agreement, negotiated between congressional leaders and the Trump administration, represents a significant bipartisan compromise but the vote in the GOP-led Senate has proven slightly tougher than some expected among Republicans.In floor remarks ahead of the vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the proposal "a strong deal.""In recent weeks, key officials on President Trump's team engaged in extensive negotiations with Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic House," the Kentucky Republican said. "Given the exigencies of divided government, we knew that any bipartisan agreement on funding levels would not appear perfect to either side. But the administration negotiated a strong deal."On Wednesday, McConnell wouldn't directly answer if more than half his caucus would vote for the bill, only replying to CNN: 1260
