President Trump is getting the go-ahead to deploy National Guard troops in Portland, Oregon. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that presidential determinations are not reviewable by federal courts, clearing the way for the Guard. Meanwhile, lawyers representing the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago on Monday urged the Supreme Court to leave in place a ruling preventing the deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago.        The government shutdown is now in its third week. Another vote in the Senate failed to end the shutdown yesterday. Democrats are holding firm on a demand to extend healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans covered through the Affordable Care Act. No votes are scheduled for today.        Virginia Roberts Giuffre's [[ joo-FRAYs ]] posthumous memoir is out today.

Giuffre completed the book before her death by suicide in April of this year.        Los Angeles Angels player Mike Trout will take the witness stand today during a wrongful death lawsuit against the Major League Baseball team. The suit alleges that the Angels knew there was a drug problem in their organization and failed to stop it before pitcher Tyler Skaggs died from an overdose in 2019. He'd gotten the deadly drugs from Angels communications manager Eric Kay.        Sharon Osbourne has announced the death of her dog Elvis. On Sunday, she wrote on Instagram that the Siberian husky had passed away. It comes about three months after the death of her husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. The couple adopted the dog 14 years ago.        The NBA regular season tips off with a doubleheader today. Houston will try to spoil the defending champion Thunder's banner-raising party in Oklahoma City.
