Congressional leaders continued to blame the other party for the US government shutdown as President Donald Trump doubled down on his threats to use the stalemate, now in its ninth day, to make sweeping cuts to Democratic priorities and the federal bureaucracy. 

There was no sign of progress as government workers and military personnel prepare for missed paychecks and the general public begins to fell the effects of the closure on everything from taxpayer services to air travel. 

Trump has repeatedly threatened to fire federal workers, withhold back pay for some government employees and cut funding for programs favored by Democrats, but so far none have materialized. Some Republicans have questioned that strategy, saying it distracts from their messaging to blame Democrats for the shutdown effects. 

Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition Bloomberg's Michelle Jamrisko is in for Kailey. Joe and Michelle speak with:
