would it not at this point be better for democrates to actually just shut down the goverment? (half joking)
But let me guess, stuff like ICE are not part of what is shut down is it?
My understanding is that the shutdown doesn’t necessarily stop the government from functioning, it just delays paychecks until after the shutdown and then they’ll get backpay. ICE can still operate, though some people might quit because they aren’t being paid for the next few weeks (or however long the shutdown is).
