The two longest government shutdowns in U.S. history both happened under Trump.

There were no government shutdowns when Joe Biden was President.
The orange felon now owns the first and second longest government shutdowns in US history because he doesn’t give a single flying fuck whether or not people suffer or starve or lose everything or die.

“… it actually gave him more power”: oh, awesome. Just co-sign the Russ Vought argument that shutdowns grant presidents carte blanche to shift spending and RIF workers while you bravely give up, why don’t you.

Reductions in Force not required by shutdowns, have never happened in any previous shutdown, and a judge has ruled they are illegal.
The shutdown is an excuse, not a reason, for them to do what they wanted to do: destroy government.

The thing about government shutdowns is that they're manufactured things that never need to happen.
They're bullshit that adversely affects the lives of normal people because politicians love posturing.

Like there was always going to be some kind of cave to end the shutdown because that's how shutdowns always end, but Democrats should be expected to support Democratic primary winners.

My child asked for “airplane spoon” during dinner and I had to explain that we simply don’t have enough air traffic controllers. Shutdowns have consequences.

1. One of the reasons I believe I have some insight into the political dynamics of government shutdowns is that I had a front-row seat as the head staffer for internal communications and legislative analysis for the House GOP during the first government shutdowns in 1995. I sat at all the meetings.

SNAP benefits weren’t stopped by the shutdown, they were stopped by Trump’s lawbreaking.
Under US law there is a dedicated SNAP fund for shutdowns, Trump refused to spend it, lost in court, defied the court order, took the issue to the Supreme Court.
And guess what? He’s still pursuing that case.

“Short-lived shutdowns are usually invisible in the data, but this one will leave a lasting mark,” Gregory Daco, chief economist at accounting giant EY said, “both because of its record length and the growing disruptions to welfare programs and travel.” https://to.pbs.org/49f4NIa
The government shutdown will impact an already-struggling economy, from lost paychecks to canceled flights
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that about $11 billion in economic activity will be permanently lost from a six-week shutdown.
