Maybe if you wanted to go to a national park.

Then when the government reopens you would get nothing. These people will get paid.

If you have a government job and dont have enough savings to live for a couple weeks without a paycheck you are horrible with money and budgets.

It did this week. Our regulators had to quit their audit at one of our sites.

Yes, active duty. Makes it a pain in the arse at work when we can’t train our guys and have to worry if their bank will give them a paycheck advance.

ETA: Thanks Democrats

We have passports somewhere in the system for trips planned in 2026, late in 2026 so we might get them sometime.
Otherwise, one website has put up a "because we aren't funded you may not be able to use info here" but there are other ways to retrieve the published papers.

I wonder if the D.C. starbucks are feeling a drop in sales?
