(CNN) The government shutdown went into a second day Sunday with recriminations deepening between the parties and with no sign of progress towards ending the impasse. "Negotiating with this White House is like negotiating with Jell-O, it is next to impossible," Schumer told reporters. Most of the energy on both sides Saturday was devoted to key players branding the impasse either the "Trump shutdown" or the" Schumer shutdown." A Democratic source said there had been no conversations between the top Democrat and anyone in the White House on Saturday. This time around, members say they want their leadership to stand firm against Senate Democrats who they believe will feel the pressure sooner or later.
