That political stuff doesn't belong. The shutdown is barely felt in DC. Certain departments, such as DoD, have already successfully passed appropriations bills funding their operations.
"Without a funding bill, nine federal departments and several agencies — representing about a quarter of the $1.24 trillion in government spending for fiscal year 2019 — will shut down at 9 p.m. PST on Friday. The remaining three-quarters of the government, including the Department of Defense, Department of Labor and Health and Human Services, were already funded and won’t be affected by the shutdown."
