And thanks for waking up with us. FIGHT OR FLIGHT: Two of the biggest battles of Donald Trump's presidency — building his border wall and defending himself from a legal probe he has consistently slammed as a "witch hunt" — are reaching a boiling point
Whether the president chooses to fight or fold in both cases could shape the next two years of his presidency and dictate the terms of a 2020 reelection battle
After a quiet stretch leading into the midterms, there have been several key developments just this week in Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and whether Trump campaign aides had improper links to the Kremlin
And the president must decide whether to take a dramatic stand to secure $5 billion in funding for the border wall before Democrats take control of the House, perhaps shutting down the government in the process
Trump seems determined to fight these two wars — at least for the time being: Trump has been threatening not to sign a spending bill by Dec
7 that doesn't continue the $5 billion he wants for the barrier between the United States and Mexico
But he needs Senate Democrats (and 60 Senate votes) to sign on for that to happen — and the minority party has only agreed to $1
6 billion in funding. And it is far from clear that congressional Republicans — many of whom are on the way out after a bruising election — have the stomach for a shutdown fight
As for Schumer, he made it clear during a news conference on Tuesday that Democrats will stick to the $1
6 billion they've agreed to. "We believe it is the right way to go . . . if there's any shutdown, it's on President Trump's back," he said
It's not just Schumer and Democrats: Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told reporters she hadn't seen justification for the $5 billion figure and believes that current funds dedicated to the border "addresses so many of the issues that we have with border security
" Unpredictability: Trump said two different things on the wall in a pair of interviews with The Post and Politico on Tuesday: to my colleagues he suggested he was open to Plan B if Congress rejects the $5 billion figure; and after that to Politico, the president vowed he was "firm" and "totally willing" to shut the government down in the fight
Mueller Mania: There has been a lot of news (leaks) out of the Mueller probe — and its participants — this week that could be quite significant
Trump is preparing for battle, judging from the stepped-up vitriol against Mueller and the probe coming from his Twitter feed over the past few days
"So much happening with the now discredited Witch Hunt. This total Hoax will be studied for years!" Trump tweeted late last night
The key developments from this week that have Trump fuming — publicly and privately: Pardoning Manafort, who has been convicted by a jury on eight counts of tax and bank fraud, seems like a bad idea, according to the president's own allies
Some aggressive self-expression: The president retweeted yesterday meme of various public figures including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein behind prison bars
He told the New York Post, "He should have never picked a Special Counsel." He also tweeted yesterday comparing the Mueller prosecutions to the "Joseph McCarthy Era!," The Post's John Wagner writes
In the more problems for Trump category, the Senate "delivered a historic rebuke of the fallout over Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi's killing last month, as a decisive majority voted to advance a measure to end U
S. military support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen," reported The Post's Karoun Demirjian, Carol Morello and John Hudson
More from their story: PELOSI PREVAILS — FOR NOW: House Democrats nominated a trio of old guard, veteran leaders — all in their 70s — to lead them come January
Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) was unopposed in her bid for the speakership, while Reps. Steny Hoyer (Md
) and James E. Clyburn (S.C.) were elected majority leader and whip, respectively
BACK TO THE BORDER — A DISPATCH: Amid fresh conflict along the southern border and a deal the Trump administration struck with the new Mexican government that allows those seeking asylum in the to wait in Mexico while U
S. officials process their claims, Power Up touched base with Joshua Partlow, The Post's Mexico City bureau chief
Here's Josh from Mexico City and Tijuana:

Hi. Today we're gonna talk about getting access to some databases from the King
County Library System that we can get to because we have a special relationship
built up with that library system. We'll start out on the college website,
go to the library homepage, go to the explore databases tab, and then we're
going to scroll down to the public library databases. In particular there's the
King County Library System College portal. That is where we get access.
For some of these databases you'll have to create a special account with that
database and with some of them you won't. In any case you'll use this
college login that I'm going to cover that is a special login using your username.
I'm going to demonstrate to you.
First I'm going to demonstrate one database that we just
need the college login for, and that's
Freegal music. This is a database with a lot of free music that I'm sure
you'll find things that will be of interest.
Click in the login in the corner - this is where we put in our college numbers.
For students it's the letters LWT, and if you're an employee like me,
you put an E at the beginning, ELWT and your first name dot last name,
just like you do with your college login. The pin number is the last four
letters of your last name and if your last name is less than four letters
it's three letters, then dot - so basically the last four digits.
Study this log in because this is going to be essentially your King County Library
System college login from LW Tech. I'm going to click loginand now you can
save it or not you can decide whether to get email notification or not.
But now I have access to these things and I can just click on them and start
playing. Now let's go back to the college portal and let's look at getting
access to Kanopy, which is a movie database and very much the reason I
made this video. You click on the databases link this time. Kanopy is the
first one that appears at the top now. Kanopy is one of these accounts that we
do have to create a special and a special account for and to do so you're going to
click on this sign up button. Now I've already done this but when you click sign
up you'll put in your first name, your last name, an email address and a password.
Now this does not have to be your college email. It can be any email
then after you do that you will get a link that will tell you to go to your email
address - the one you that you just gave to verify the account, and then you come
back and you log in. You're going to log in at the top here. Once you log back in
with that email username and password that you just created,you'll see your name
at the top now. At this point this is where you have to put in your college
information just like you did for Freegal. You go to my dashboard and then you're
going to add a library card.I've already added mine so it's here but it's
that same LWT or ELWT in capital letters first name dot last name in
small letters the same password. Then you will have basically added the
college accessibility. Now you have access to five videos per month through
Kanopy through King County. Once you've gone through those five then
you can use Kanopy through our library database. We do pay for each use
of them, so we ask that you use the access through King County first since
this is free to us. If you have any questions please ask at the library
and we look forward to helping you use our new library databases
through King County.

My name is Sabrina Li
and I am from Guangzhou, China.
The main thing about Pierce College that got me interested in it
is because the high school completion program.
She came to Pierce College to learn English... complete her high school diploma
and her associate degree at the same time.
And now she's working one-on-one with one of our advisors
to get into one of her dream universities to transfer to.
My name is Brent Leavell. I'm the Manager of
International Marketing and Student Recruitment.
So I really like the classes.
Now only because all the help my professor provides,
but also being in a smaller size environment to study.
And they actually care if you want to be successful.
So one thing that makes us maybe different than many other schools is that our office
has really been developed to welcome people here and them help through the entire process.
In my experience, being an International student,
it actually helps you get a better sense
of the world around you.
And also learn from different perspectives.
I like being in the Pacific Northwest.
I think it's not only about the weather, but also because people are really nice
and I really enjoy hanging out with friends.
So sometimes we go up to Seattle,
or go somewhere else together... hiking.
We are always able to find something to do.
At Peirce College our International office is dedicated to helping you become successful.
We're here to help you choose your way
and we'll help guide you.
