Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says Republicans are trying to “bully” Democrats by refusing to negotiate as a standoff over health care and spending threatens to trigger the first U.S. government shutdown in almost seven years. Schumer says President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans have until midnight Tuesday “to get serious.” Trump is threatening retribution, saying that a shutdown could include “cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.” The government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday if the Senate does not pass a House measure that would extend federal funding for seven weeks. Senate Democrats say they won’t vote for it unless Republicans include an extension of expiring health care benefits.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is requesting up to 1,000 National Guard troops to assist law enforcement in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport.
Landry, a Republican and ally of President Donald Trump, cited the success of federal partnerships in other cities, including Washington, Memphis, and Los Angeles, where troops have been deployed to assist local authorities. He said additional support would also be helpful during major events, such as Mardi Gras, to ensure public safety.
The request would cover troop deployments through the end of the fiscal year 2026.

A weekend attack on Mormon churchgoers in Michigan was a targeted act of violence, with evidence suggesting religious hatred drove an ex-Marine to crash his truck into a house of worship before unleashing a deadly storm of gunfire and arson, officials said on Monday.
Four people were killed and eight others were wounded in the rampage, which unfolded during Sunday morning services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Grand Blanc Township, about 60 miles northwest of Detroit, according to police.
The suspect, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from the nearby town of Burton, was shot dead in a parking lot outside the building about eight minutes after the carnage began, police said.
