Bill De Blasio Slams Amazon’s ‘Abuse of Corporate Power’
Trump set to declare border emergency, sign shutdown-averting bill
Trump was also expected to sign a bipartisan government spending bill approved by Congress on Thursday that would prevent another federal shutdown by funding several agencies that otherwise would have closed on Saturday morning. The Republican president was scheduled to deliver remarks on the issue at 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT) in the Rose Garden at the White House. The bill, lacking any money for his wall, is a defeat for Trump in Congress, where his demand for $ 5.7 billion in barrier funding yielded no results, other than a record-long 35-day December-January partial government shutdown that damaged the U.S. economy and his poll numbers.

If it passes there, the House would then vote on final approval that evening, which would clear it for signing into law by Trump by a Friday deadline.
