    I have no idea but law enforcement and military don’t just stop doing the job because Congress shuts down. So…if those groups still function, and everything else stops, would republicans care? The stuff they value most still operates.

      They’re up against a payday cliff. 1st and 15th for military IIRC.

      There are several reasons to end a government shutdown prior to your security not being paid. Imagine all the ICE bullshit brigades not getting paid.

      They kinda painted themselves in.

      The federal armed forces will run out of money to pay people soon. Those ICE losers shouldn’t be paid anyways so fine with me
