The Brief
As the government shutdown enters its 39th day, senators will be working through the weekend for the first time since the shutdown began in hopes of finding a resolution.
By the numbers:
Republican leaders only need five additional votes to fund the government.
Here’s the latest on the shutdown:
800 flights canceled Saturday
9:45 a.m. ET - Over 800 flights were canceled Saturday, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight disruptions.
For context:
Not all the cancellations were due to the FAA order, and those numbers represent just a small portion of the overall flights nationwide, but they are certain to rise in the coming days if the slowdown continues.
