PhD biologist friend with the Fish and Wildlife Service in Hawaii is now advertising dog walking services to try and make money during the furlough. It’s really cool what our leadership is doing to these people.

One of my friends was featured in a local news story today as a furloughed worker since she's now working 3 part time jobs. One was as a fitness instructor which she was already doing a few times a week (and is now picking up more shifts). The second is she just got trained and certified to substitute teach in Fairfax County (along with 400+ other furloughed feds). Third is some admin work for a local law firm.
 
While it is good that 75% of the government was funded, they should have never decoupled it. If the entire government was shutdown this thing would be over long ago, because there would be no taking the military hostage for a pointless wall.
 
High drama with Trump cancelling Pelosi's Europe trip, which was set to take off an hour from now. Sounds like no one has any idea what is going on with an Air Force bus full of Congressional delegates sitting in the middle of the road right now.

Canceling a congressional delegation's visit to the troops in an active war zone seems like questionable optics to me.

Lindsay Graham has strongly denounced Trump's actions (by putting most of the blame on Pelosi for starting the slap fight).
 
This looks like a letter that actual effort was used to make grammatically correct, yet your 10th grade English teacher would still give a D+ at best.

So much wtf capitalization going on.
