Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has signaled his party is willing to let the government shut down.

Schumer wants a vote on a 30-day funding stopgap, but it would fail, and House Republicans have already skipped town.

The bottom line: Republicans think Schumer is bluffing, and Democrats say they want to avoid a shutdown.
