The Hill's 12:30 Report: Trump expected to sign the border deal | Eyes other funds for wall | Little appetite for second shutdown | Omar fires back at Trump | Pelosi faces test on keeping Dem caucus together | House to vote on Yemen resolution today | 'Frozen 2' trailer released

3 DAYS TO AVERT ANOTHER SHUTDOWN

You can have your wall and build it, too:

It is increasingly likely that President Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE will sign the bipartisan bill to fund the government and avert another partial shutdown. http://bit.ly/2WX3Tse

OK, but what about the wall...?: "The president's surrogates have given indications that Trump will sign off on the bill to keep the government open and secure wall funding through other means to build his long-desired wall along the U.S.-Mexico border."

Keep in mind: It is entirely possible that Trump pulls a last-minute surprise.

New detail -- When the House is expected to vote on the deal: Thursday evening. http://bit.ly/2S0q5xN

When the actual spending package will be released: Tonight. http://bit.ly/2X2hKNO

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE DEAL SO FAR: We know it includes $1.375 billion to build 55 miles of barriers along the border in the Rio Grande Valley. A list of what else we know about the bipartisan agreement: http://bit.ly/2GpQKmB

WHY TRUMP WILL LIKELY SIGN THE BILL: Via The Hill's Niall Stanage, sources in the circle around Trump affirmed that there was little appetite, on the part of the president or his party, for another shutdown, which would begin at midnight on Friday absent a new spending measure. http://bit.ly/2TOorkC

Trump tweeted last night: "Was just presented the concept and parameters of the Border Security Deal by hard working Senator Richard Shelby Richard Craig ShelbySenate GOP eyes early exit Dems discussing government funding bill into February GOP short of votes on Trump's controversial Fed pick MORE. Looking over all aspects knowing that this will be hooked up with lots of money from other sources. Will be getting almost $23 BILLION for Border Security. Regardless of Wall money, it is being built as we speak!" http://bit.ly/2TOoahA

JUST NOW — BEFORE YOU GET TOO EXCITED...: The two top Republican House leaders won't commit to supporting the bipartisan government funding deal. Who: House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Kevin Owen McCarthyMcCarthy's Democratic challenger to launch first TV ad highlighting Air Force service as single mother Trump asked Chamber of Commerce to reconsider Democratic endorsements: report The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by The Air Line Pilots Association - White House moves closer to Pelosi on virus relief bill MORE (R-Calif.) and Minority Whip Steve Scalise Stephen (Steve) Joseph ScaliseHouse GOP slated to unveil agenda ahead of election House panel details 'serious' concerns around Florida, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin elections Scalise hit with ethics complaint over doctored Barkan video MORE (R-La.) http://bit.ly/2GnGc7j

IN CONGRESS

Let's put it to a vote!:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellPelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Senate GOP aims to confirm Trump court pick by Oct. 29: report Trump argues full Supreme Court needed to settle potential election disputes MORE (R-Ky.) said the Senate will vote on the "Green New Deal," a climate change resolution led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Alexandria Ocasio-CortezHouse passes bill to avert shutdown Trump attacks Omar for criticizing US: 'How did you do where you came from?' The Memo: Dems face balancing act on SCOTUS fight MORE (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey Edward (Ed) John MarkeySchumer: 'Nothing is off the table' if GOP moves forward with Ginsburg replacement Democrats see fundraising spike following Ginsburg death Democratic senator calls for eliminating filibuster, expanding Supreme Court if GOP fills vacancy MORE (D-Mass.). Details: http://bit.ly/2GGTFX6

Keep in mind: The deal has no chance of passing. Republicans are united in their opposition to the bill. The bill needs 51 votes to pass, and Republicans control 53 votes.

HOW PELOSI'S LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT TO BE PUT TO THE TEST: http://bit.ly/2SOU2Wf

To veto or not to veto -- that is the question:

Via The Hill's Rebecca Kheel, President Trump has not vetoed any bills since taking office, but may do so soon. Why: "The House will move a step closer to a major confrontation with Trump by voting as soon as Wednesday on a resolution that would cut off U.S. military support to the Saudi-led coalition in neighboring Yemen. The measure is expected to easily pass the chamber controlled by Democrats. After that, it will move to the GOP-led Senate, where is it also expected to have enough votes." http://bit.ly/2By8iJa

When you can watch a fight over Twitter:

Rep. Ilhan Omar Ilhan OmarOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Trump attacks Omar for criticizing US: 'How did you do where you came from?' Democrats scramble on COVID-19 relief amid division, Trump surprise MORE (D-Minn.) shot back at President Trump this morning after the president called on her to resign. http://bit.ly/2GoFGpG

She tweeted: "Hi @realDonaldTrump- You have trafficked in hate your whole life--against Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more. I learned from people impacted by my words. When will you?"

What sparked this: "Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar 'unequivocally' apologized Monday for tweets suggesting that members of Congress support Israel because they are being paid to do so, which drew bipartisan criticism and a rebuke from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiPelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare House lawmakers reach deal to avert shutdown Centrist Democrats 'strongly considering' discharge petition on GOP PPP bill MORE." http://bit.ly/2GDaC4K

IN OTHER NEWS

Can confirm, this was just as D.C. as it sounds:

"At the bar just now: Apparently it's open mic night. Singer says 'This is a song I wrote about the shutdown.' ... The chorus is 'Shutdown. Shutdown. Shutdown.'" (Via The Hill's Peter Sullivan) http://bit.ly/2N4l06Z
