There is psychological damage that no late paycheck can heal. Depression and anxiety are quite real.
There will be a day to judge what today’s “deal” means for @realDonaldTrump’s job. But today, for 800,000 federal workers, re-opening government means a lot for their jobs. For 35 days they were stripped of the dignity of work. Never again should someone have to work without pay.

And ppl who have gone without needed meds, like insulin, can suffer permanent damage

How about legislation eliminating shutdowns altogether? Funding continues with inflation-adjusted increases. Or something radical -- freeze your own assets during a shutdown (but federal workers and contractors get paid).

Freeze specifically WH //ESPECIALLY// ADVISORS pay .. from now til Trump is out of office.

But it sounds like he plans to do it all over again in 3 weeks, or even worse, declare a state of emergency.

Closing the gov’t a second time would be even worse than the 1st for trump. Declaring a national emergency will end up in the Supreme Court where it would be struck down as there is no evidence of a national emergency. That would be 2 more in the loss column for trump.
