I'm really interested in seeing how the march in dc will turn out today. It is supposed to focus on voting, voters rights, registering people to vote. I assume there will be a huge TrumpsShutDown crowd there too.

I just hope they can pass a measure that we can get paid for this time off. I can’t afford to not get paid.
And fuck McConnell.

We’re headed back from WDW today, so no marching for me.
I thought about checking out the Trump animatronic at the Hall of Presidents, but decided it wasn’t worth the wasted time.

I made sure to share this info in my military landlord group because I’m not going to let the Dems get the blame

This makes Spence’s statement about “working in good faith” even more awful than it already was. Yes. That statement was especially rage inducing. Pence has otherwise been keeping a low profile in all this.

The House did stay in town. They are essentially gaveling in and then waiting around for the Senate to do something.

I love that trump can't go to his big party this weekend. Suck it! No golf this weekend. SAD! They should take the money saved from that and use it to fund some services.

Also, I love that he has to stay in DC this weekend. He fucking hates staying in DC and they will be marching right past his house.

Increasingly convinced he’s a white supremacist zealot whispering this shit in the presidents ear. Yep. Remember when he was supposed to be a voice of reason? I’ve realized that anyone willing to work for this administration is, by definition, a bad person.

#TrumpShutdown is trending.
"The President said he was going to run America like his businesses. Apparently we have reached the part where he would usually just declare bankruptcy and run away. #TrumpShutdown"

Twitter is pointing out that if the shutdown goes on for a long time, it also means IRS will not be working and but people may will not be getting their refund checks in a timely manner. ETA: Factual accuracy This is one of the things that scares me about midterms. This is all definitely going to be brought up up again and blamed on Dems when elections are here. We really need to push to show this is Trump's shutdown.

I see no way Democrats take the fall for this. I'm probably too optimistic though.
