We're back with Monday's news: |
Europe wins unruly Ryder Cup |
Team USA lost to Europe in the Ryder Cup on Sunday, with the Europeans becoming the first team to win the tournament on foreign soil since 2012. |
Drama was par for the course: The atmosphere at this year's Ryder Cup was rowdy, and at times combative, at one point prompting Team Europe's Rory McIlroy to curse out fans (and then hit a perfect shot). |
| • | Even the MC was ousted. PGA announced comedian and actress Heather McMahan stepped down before the final day after directing the crowd to participate in an expletive chant toward McIlroy. | | • | Team USA gave it their best. But the Americans' deficit over the first two days was too much to overcome and Europe was able to win their sixth Ryder Cup in the last eight tournaments. Is Keegan Bradley to blame? | | • | Flags, Founding Father costumes and the president: Trump and granddaughter Kai were among the spectators at Bethpage State Park Golf Course in New York. | | Team Europe golfer Justin Rose and teammates react after defeating Team USA in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black Golf Course in Farmingdale, New York, on Sunday.

Will the government shut down this week? |
Too soon to tell. President Donald Trump will meet Monday with congressional leaders from both parties at the White House, less than 48 hours before a deadline to avoid a government shutdown. Absent a breakthrough, "essential" government services, such as the military and law enforcement, would keep operating under a shutdown, but "nonessential" services, including national parks, would be forced to close or cut staffing. Senate Democrats are using a rare moment of political leverage to demand that the funding bill reverse looming cuts to Medicaid and lapsing Obamacare subsidies. |
| • | These people have found their healthcare at the center of the shutdown showdown. | |
FBI probing Michigan church shooting as 'targeted violence' |
At least four people are dead and several others were injured after a man crashed a vehicle into a Michigan church, opened fire with a rifle, and set the building ablaze during Sunday service, authorities said. Hundreds of people were attending service at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a suburb of Flint, Michigan, when the suspect rammed a pickup truck into the church, authorities said. The FBI is investigating the incident "as an act of targeted violence." | A family emotionally reunites at the Trillium Theater located across the street from the site of a shooting and fire at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

Trump orders troops to Portland |
President Trump is sending troops to Portland, Oregon, to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, in the latest deployment of forces to a U.S. city. In a Saturday Truth Social post, the president said he authorized the military to use "Full Force, if necessary." The move follows weeks of protests outside ICE's field office in South Portland opposing Trump's mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. In response to questions from USA TODAY, officials would not say how many troops would be involved in the deployment. |
