Secretary Wilkie: VA not affected in the event of partial government shutdown
WASHINGTON – In light of the possibility of a partial federal government shutdown, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Robert Wilkie released the following statement:
“Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Congress, VA is fully funded for fiscal year 2019, and in the event of a partial government shutdown, all VA operations will continue unimpeded.
“We thank the president and Congress for their commitment to our nation’s heroes in funding VA, and stand ready to provide all of the VA benefits and services our Veterans have earned.”

The VA doesn't work when the Government is open so there's that

The funny thing is, even some of the agencies that would be affected by a shutdown will still be open to some degree. A handful of agencies appear to have prior appropriations that will keep the lights on and employees at work.
Ironically, that could be ammo to keep the government shutdown even longer, because parts of that 25% that would be "shutdown" will still be working...lmao!

Defense and many other things have already been funded for FY19, this shutdown is only for a few more selective areas.
