Welcome to a new week, after quite a weekend. 

Late Friday a partial government shutdown was averted. On Saturday the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act to speed deportations by characterizing certain recent migration to the U.S. as an invasion. Legal action followed. So did some deportations. Sarah Matusek reports. 

Last night, President Trump said he would speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday about ending the war in Ukraine. 

We also watched as a SpaceX crew successfully docked with the International Space Station. 

Being stranded in space might make a lot of people’s short list of unsettling situations. For the astronauts on the ISS, a short mission has stretched to nine months and counting, owing to technical breakdowns. As their planned return nears, Jacob Posner offers a reframing: “Their journey, to some who have followed it closely,” he writes, “reveals less about a NASA mission gone wrong and more about the character of resilience.”
