Just writing in to share while it is not an entirely desirable outcome, I do think a government shutdown is necessary to avert Trump‘s heinous plans. As Isaac Saul wrote in the tangle, “Trump wants to allow Congress to appropriate funding he never intends to spend, then use that money as a slush fund for whatever he wants, all while allowing the unelected, anonymous, and dishonest bureaucracy that is DOGE to run roughshod through the federal government — cutting all manner of important, bipartisan, and valuable programs without offering any sensible explanations for their decisions (or their mistakes). And, again, he’s doing all that while not actually balancing the budget, the North Star that is supposedly guiding all these decisions.” Please, stop him. Do something.
