- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

What parts of the government are still operating and getting paid? Let me guess, military and police?
Aren't police paid by the state or city etc, rather than the federal government?
You have FBI, DEA, Secret Service, and of course ICE which are all federal.
I have no idea but law enforcement and military don't just stop doing the job because Congress shuts down. So...if those groups still function, and everything else stops, would republicans care? The stuff they value most still operates.
They're up against a payday cliff. 1st and 15th for military IIRC.
There are several reasons to end a government shutdown prior to your security not being paid. Imagine all the ICE bullshit brigades not getting paid.
They kinda painted themselves in.
The federal armed forces will run out of money to pay people soon. Those ICE losers shouldn't be paid anyways so fine with me
