Friday in your Nations Capital
Shutdown Day 10

Senate vote failed as predicted.
House still on paid leave.

Smithsonians run out of funding tomorrow and will close for the duration.

This sucks.

Let’s hope next week is better

Thursday in your Nations Capital
Shutdown Day 9

Senate voted yesterday, it failed
Will vote again today, will also fail

House remain on paid vacation to avoid negotiating.

But the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs so there is a glimmer of hope
