This is day 28 of the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

The president's multi-day trip to Asia will include a high-stakes sit-down with Chinese President Xi [[ she ]] in South Korea later this week. And while there's nothing on his official schedule, Trump has said he'd be open to a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un before heading home.        Hurricane Melissa has its sights set on Jamaica with the potential to cause massive devastation. Melissa is the strongest storm the planet has seen this year. It's currently packing maximum sustained winds of 175 miles per hour as it eye landfall. There are widespread power outages already and reports of at least three people killed while prepping for the hurricane's arrival.        The top Border Patrol agent overseeing "Operation Midway Blitz" in Chicago is set to appear before a federal judge today in Chicago. Judge Sara Ellis ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino to appear and answer questions about the use of chemical agents on civilian protesters.        The Kansas City Chief's snapped up a 28-7 victory over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. Kansas City is now five-and-three overall. The Commanders will try to break their losing streak when they host the Seahawks on Sunday.        Demi Lovato will head out on tour for the first time since 2022 next year.
