Mere hours after some House Republicans reported progress on a proposal to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month, Donald Trump demanded they use the opportunity to "defund" Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team.
No, the federal government will shut down, but Georgia and New York won’t. Also necessary functions of government like trials often continue. It’s like how when the country shut down for Covid some people still had to go to work
Oh yeah, it’s like how I convinced my nieces and nephews I control traffic lights. I see the timer on the crosswalk counting down and then I say “It’s turning green” or something like that and then it does. They were mystified until they turned like, 8.
If you’re familiar with the light cycles, it’s pretty easy to time it within a second or two just by paying attention to who currently has a green and who’s coming to a stop.
That should keep them impressed a few more years. Quite a few if they turn out to be a terrible driver!

Nothing quite like the invisible accordion
I’m not smart enough to know. If the gov shuts down, would that stall his trials as well? Or is that a separate entity?
No. The trials will go on.
Very good news.
