Mnuchin says they are still "very far apart" on state and local funding.
Meadows says @realDonaldTrump called three times during the 3 hour meeting
@realDonaldTrump Meadows: "Trump's willingness to take action through executive powers should be applauded"
@realDonaldTrump Meadows: My frustration is we could have had a "skinny deal" but Democrats said no
@realDonaldTrump In response to @pkcapitol question, Mnuchin made it seem like Friday is an actual drop dead deadline for a deal.

Before today, it seemed like Friday was very arbitrary.

We'll see what holds....
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol That media avail by Meadows and Mnuchin made it clear that the two are not completely on the same page.
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Pelosi and Schumer now.

Pelosi called it a "consequential meeting"

Every time we meet with them, she says, their lack of understanding of the massive need is reinforced.
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Pelosi:

Not enough money for food

Not enough money for rent

Not enough money for the american people who are out of work

When they said a skinny proposal it was "anorexic."
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Pelosi: "We're very far apart. It's very unfortunate"
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Schumer: "We urge them to rethink their position - sort of their way or the highway."
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Pelosi said Meadows slammed the table and walked out

You're slamming the table on our children, Pelosi said.
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Schumer: the president has two choices:

- negotiate with the democrats
- try these executive orders, which Schumer says will leave people out and be tried in the court.

"We plead with them. continue to negotiate."
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Schumer: We urge them to come back.

They said they'd think about it, Schumer said.
@realDonaldTrump @pkcapitol Well in short: things aren't looking good.

The stalemate and administration outrage could just be a negotiating tactic.

Again, we'll see what develops
