China defiantly refuses to back down from President Trump's 100% tariff threat, insisting it doesn't want but isn't afraid of a trade war.

The federal government shutdown has entered its second week with Virginia Senators Kaine and Warner refusing to compromise despite representing areas with high federal employee concentrations, instead channeling workers' fury over ongoing administrative assaults.

Two federal judges have ruled against the Trump administration's claims that immigration protests justify indefinite National Guard deployments, rejecting White House assertions about lawlessness in American cities.
