Political Cornflakes: Another government shutdown? Negotiations are breaking down as Friday’s deadline nears

Happy Monday. Another month, another possible government shutdown.

Topping the news: A new poll shows most Utahns back special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of President Donald Trump and his team, but a majority of Republicans are against it.
