On this week’s edition of Breitbart News Sunday, broadcast live on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 from 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Eastern, Breitbart News’ Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle and Deputy Political Editor Amanda House will discuss the latest government shutdown news and Congress’s battle over the future of American immigration policy.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), speaking from the House floor Saturday morning, called the government shutdown a “shakedown strategy” that Senate Democrats were talked into by their base.

Like the rest of the federal government, the two departments that oversee most of the country’s federal law enforcement agencies are preparing for a “shutdown” due to kick in midnight Friday.

Senate Democrats are uncertain about triggering a government shutdown over amnesty for DACA recipients, but the White House is preparing the federal government for the possibility.

Washington, DC, is on edge this Friday as Senate Democrats barrel the United States of America toward a government shutdown at midnight. Breitbart News will bring live updates here as the country heads over the shutdown cliff.

“The Democrats want to see a shutdown to get off this subject because this subject is not working for them,” Trump told reporters on Thursday. “The tax cuts and tax reform has not been working well for the Democrats.”

Pro-amnesty GOP Senators are helping the Democrats block a government budget until President Donald Trump agrees to break his campaign promise and his presidency by amnestying millions of wage-lowing illegal immigrants.

Troops will not receive a paycheck this Friday if Congress fails to pass a budget or another short-term spending measure by then, according to the Pentagon.

Democratic leaders are holding the 2018 federal budget hostage to their demand for a cheap-labor amnesty — but are also obscuring their very unpopular demand behind a barrage of subsidiary demands, according to GOP politicians.

President Donald Trump challenged Democrats over rumors of a government shutdown, suggesting that they might fail to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government.

Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer will meet President Donald Trump today to talk about a 2018 budget deal, and he will have to repeat or revoke the Democrats’ unpopular threats to block the 2018 budget if Republicans reject his unpopular amnesty for 3 million ‘dreamers.’

A Morning Consult/Politico poll release Wednesday showed a majority of Republican voters would support a federal government shutdown if it could deliver the signature Trump promise of a southern border wall.

President Donald Trump repeated his promise to make Mexico pay for his long promised wall on the Southern border, vowing that they would pay “one way or another.”

Republicans, fearful of a shutdown, are already trying to walk back his threat. They do not realize Trump has just taught them how to face down the media and the Democrats, and to fight for their core policy priorities and the wishes of their own voters — and win.

A banner flown over the New Jersey shore on Monday told unpopular Gov. Chris Christie to “get the hell off” the beach—a day after Christie was photographed sunning himself on a beach, despite having closed all state beaches and parks with a government shutdown.

There are only three days left until President Barack Obama gives up the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to the international community, ending online freedom of expression and enterprise as we know it.

TEL AVIV – Palestinian terrorist organizations did not take kindly to Donald Trump’s call for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

President Barack Obama is always on-point, and today he used House Speaker John Boehner’s resignation announcement to blame the GOP for his own prior decisions to shut down federal agencies instead of compromising with the GOP.

Now that Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) have officially launched their presidential campaigns, the Democratic Party is gearing up its propaganda machine to attack the Republican contenders. But a series of Facebook images they posted this week has many scratching their heads, wondering why the Democrats would use what seem to be Republican talking points in their messages.

Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) will not be endorsing Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Republican Presidential Primary. As Breitbart Texas reported, Cruz officially became 2016’s first Republican presidential candidate this week with a Tweet posted shortly after midnight Monday morning, followed by an announcement speech delivered at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Democrats apparently think they can benefit financially if DHS shuts down. They sent out an email Saturday that alerted donors Republicans had shut down the Department of Homeland Security — even though Congress actually avoided doing so.
