Friday marks the first day furloughed government employees will not receive a paycheck, making the current shutdown an even more painful reality. Federal workers rallied outside the White House on Thursday protesting the government shutdown that enters its 21st day Friday and is gearing up to be the longest ever. The impact is hitting federal employees across the nation. President Donald Trump walked out of a negotiating meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday and said he might declare a national emergency at the border after Democrats refused to yield to his demands for money for a border wall.
A sprawling winter storm cranking up early Frida is expected to spread snow along a 1,500-mile path from Denver to New York City. It is forecast to last until at least late Sunday before petering out. More than 20 million people were in the path of the storm, the Weather Service said Thursday. While not a blockbuster blizzard, the snow should be heavy enough to cause some travel troubles on both roads and in the air.
