| | | | Government shutdown, day 21.
Friday, around 800,000 federal workers will wake up empty-handed on pay day for the first time since the partial government shutdown began. The scary thing? They don’t know when this is going to end. Continued missed paychecks could result in drops in credit scores, evictions, and even health repercussions. This shutdown isn’t a game, and people are getting angry.
In other news, Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, has agreed to testify publicly before Congress early next month before he goes to prison. "I look forward to having the privilege of being afforded a platform with which to give a full and credible account of the events which have transpired," he said in a statement. President Trump, in response, said he wasn’t "worried about it at all."
Programming note: Tune into Morning Joe at 7 a.m. to hear from Sen. Kamala Harris, who is reportedly considering a run for president in 2020. Stay tuned to MSNBC for continuing coverage. |

In a wide-ranging interview, Davis reveals that he has had “constructive discussions” about Cohen potentially appearing before other House Committees, that the days of Cohen “lying for Trump are over” and that they will work to ensure testimony is “voluntary rather than under a subpoena”. | | |
