Congress returns to a changed political landscape as newly-elected lawmakers arrive in Washington.
The parties are electing new leadership this week and incumbents are squaring off for one final legislative sprint before House Democrats take power. Voters swept away eight years of House Republican control in last week's election.
For their last act, Republicans will try to deliver on Trump's promise to fund the border wall. Democrats are in no mood to boost spending on the border. The standoff could spark a partial federal government shutdown in weeks.
