Democrats and Republicans appear no closer to ending the partial government shutdown which has dragged on for 32 days.
Senate Republicans released a measure around US president Donald Trump's proposal for breaking the budget impasse, with his demand for $5.7bn (£4.4bn) to build a wall on the US-Mexico border all but guaranteeing Democratic opposition.
As the shutdown dragged through its fifth week, thousands of government workers face the prospect of another missed paycheck.

One month in, beer brewers cannot get labels, food inspections have been cut, and the SEC cannot approve new IPOs for rising companiesMr Trump offered on Saturday to temporarily extend protections for young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children and those fleeing disaster zones in exchange for $5.7bn (£4.4bn) for his border wall.
"No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer," Mr Trump tweeted Sunday, noting he'd offered temporary, three-year extensions — not permanent relief. But he added: "Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else."
President Trump later tweeted: "Democrats are kidding themselves (they don't really believe it!) if they say you can stop Crime, Drugs, Human Trafficking and Caravans without a Wall or Steel Barrier. Stop playing games and give America the Security it deserves. A Humanitarian Crisis!"

After the Martin Luther King Jr day of service, Americans across the country are waking up to yet another week of the nation’s longest government shutdown, with day 31 of the phenomenon in full effect.
Nearly 800,000 federal employees are expected to miss out on their second biweekly paycheck this week, as backlash intensifies over an immigration dispute that has kept the government closed for the past four weeks.
Bernie Sanders kicked off the morning with a tweet blasting the president for the shutdown, writing, “Today, as a result of his cruel government shutdown, 800,000 federal workers worry about how they will feed their kids, pay their mortgages or see a doctor.”
The government shutdown has seen acts of kindness for federal employees working without pay from all walks of life, including former President George HW Bush and even celebrities like Bon Jovi.
The singer launched a non-profit restaurant called the JBJ Soul Kitchen for those in need of a meal during the nation’s longest government shutdown. The kitchen is operated through his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, CNN reported.
The initiative has drawn support from lawmakers like New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who is reportedly partnering with Bon Jovi in order to provide federal employees the meals at no cost.
Donald Trump continues touting a rise in his approval rating among Latino adults to his fight for a border wall as the nation enters Day 31 of the longest government shutdown in American history.
Despite losing support among general demographics, the president is tweeting about his support among Latinos, writing, “Marist/NPR/PBS Poll shows President Trump’s approval rating among Latinos going to 50%, an increase in one year of 19%. Thank you, working hard!”
Earlier this weekend the president acknowledged the same poll, writing, “Wow, just heard that my poll numbers with Hispanics has gone up 19%, to 50%. That is because they know the Border issue better than anyone, and they want Security, which can only be gotten with a Wall.”
