Republicans continue to have the option to end this whenever they want, with or without the democrats.
Was at a wedding over the weekend and was surprised how many people are already being affected by this. Congress needs to solve this.
Just a reminder that the longest government shutdown in US history was 35 days, lasting from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019.
Guess who was President?
This one feels different as this White House isn’t shying away from finding “creative” ways to fund the more divisive areas impacted by a shutdown. Like paying military members. And despite it probably being done illegally, do democrats really want to be the face of the court battle to stop Trump from paying military families?
The more they chip away at these things, the less incentive there is for either side to compromise.
