Nate Madden, Congressional Correspondent for CRTV, discusses President Trump's recent alleged comments referring to Haiti and other African nations as "shithole countries." He weighs in on what that means for Washington as Democrats and Republicans try to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the week. Plus, Madden discusses the future of the GOP and President Trump's possible impeachment if Democrats take the House in the midterms. This scenario is looking more likely as more than 30 Republicans have announced they will not seek their seats in 2018.

What’s in the legislation to end the federal government shutdown
A legislative package to end the government shutdown appears on track. A handful of Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to advance the bill after what's become a deepening disruption of federal programs and services. But hurdles remain. Senators are hopeful they can pass the package as soon as Monday and send it to the House. What’s in and out of the bipartisan deal has drawn criticism and leaves few senators fully satisfied. The legislation includes funding for SNAP food aid and other programs while ensuring backpay for furloughed federal workers. But it fails to fund expiring health care subsidies Democrats have been fighting for, pushing that debate off for a vote next month.
