President Donald Trump stepped back Monday from demanding a down payment for his border wall in must-past spending legislation, potentially removing a major obstacle to a bipartisan deal just days ahead of a government shutdown deadline.

Oh no, not another deadline? Not another crisis?

If this was such a crisis, why did Congress just take two weeks off?

This government by crisis is pathetic.

Oh, I forgot. When is the GOPe going to pull out their tried and true, "it was the best deal we could get?"

Let the government shut down. Please. Trump won’t be stupid about it. He’ll use it to justify further cuts.
