Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said Wednesday there's "very, very strong" sentiment among Democrats in the chamber to oppose GOP-drafted legislation to keep the government's doors open, comments that could indicate the chances are increasing that the government could shut down at midnight Friday night. Democrats' votes are needed to advance the stopgap measure through the Senate, but they have been rebuffed in their demands to add protections against deportation for younger immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children.
A bipartisan group of senators will unveil a DACA replacement bill Wednesday that combines Democrats' favorite amnesty proposal with some border security and immigration reforms, but stops far short of what the Trump administration has demanded.

Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake plans to compare President Donald Trump's repeated attacks on the media to those made by Joseph Stalin, the infamous dictator of the former Soviet Union, in a speech this week.

Sen. David Perdue went on the attack Sunday morning, attempting to smear Sen. Dick Durbin and defend President Donald Trump from accusations that he said during a meeting on Thursday that he does not want immigrants coming to the U.S. from "shithole countries." "What we have going on here right now is a gross misrepresentation," he repeatedly told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week .
The Republican congresswoman has voted with the Republican president nearly 97 percent of the time so far. She says that young immigrants shouldn't be shielded from deportation unless Democrats agree to build Trump's massive border wall.
TUCSON, Ariz.-Rep. Martha McSally said Friday she would enter the race for the Arizona Senate seat opened up by the retirement of Sen. Jeff Flake.
