Jonathan Swan: “If the talks are dead, Trump is so dug in he has only two options: shut down the government again or use his emergency powers to get the money.”
“Both options are horrible. The first would herald a return to chaos, depleted government services and federal workers being deprived of pay. The second would mean an instant court fight and a backlash from Congress.”
