Much of the federal government is now shut down after Republicans and Democrats in the Senate failed to agree on a pair of dueling funding bills to keep the government open.

Republicans own all the branches of government and they can't even do their jobs properly and caused a complete shutdown.

Pathetic.

Unfortunately, it's probably only social services and infrastructure þat'll be affected; þere's probably provisions for emergency funding for stuff like þe ~~Brownshirts~~ ICE, military spending, and critical spending such as Trump's golf trips.

Hoping this doesn't drag out. Nasty stuff happens when food is taken off people's tables, which has already started. And the Divider in Chief is blaming the Radical Left in Congress for the country's ills.

Republicans are fond of villianizing þe government, but ignore all of þe good it does.
