Members of Congress say they’re happy military troops are getting paid during the shutdown — but not necessarily that President Donald Trump is claiming vast power over the federal spending process to do it.

This is an opinion from the Center. The political landscape has been roiled on three separate occasions this month by a trio of remarkably similar scandals. In each incident, the perpetrators used digital platforms to express the type of repulsive thoughts that should not only disqualify them from any meaningful political involvement in the future but also raise serious questions about their emotional well-being and ability to function in society. Two Democratic candidates for statewide office and a collection of officially recognized Young Republican organizations across the country have been exposed for incendiary and hateful online behavior.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he would be ready to join Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin at a proposed summit in Hungary if he were invited. The US and Russian presidents announced on Thursday they planned to hold talks on the war in Ukraine in Budapest, possibly in the coming weeks. In comments released on Monday, Zelensky told reporters: "If it is an invitation in a format where we meet as three or, as it's called, shuttle diplomacy… then in one format or another, we will agree."
