How does being a civilian employed at a Government job make you not ordinary?

He is far from Stupid honestly.

It doesnt.
These people dont go to work but they will get paid once shutdown ends, right?

It certainly fucks up all the non gov't collaboration with various gov't departments. My wife's work got all messed up here in Canada as a result.

Government employees are guaranteed back pay so unless they're a paychecklet with no savings it doesn't make much difference, and if your credit is so bad you also can't get loans with guaranteed income on the governments payroll you got other problems.
Contractors don't have such a guarantee but they always get back pay too, its just not codified. It can still cause work stoppage and no pay, so it does matter to them.

Many companies (mine included) contract with the federal government. We have project schedules that now need to slide and resources that were supposed to be doing federal projects we need to allocate to other stuff. Hopefully it’s short lived, but it definitely causes inefficiency on our end.

Holy shit lol
Maga doing everything to blame everyone else for the shutdown when they own.all three branches

60 votes needed, using deception and mis info wont get back the normies

Trump obviously all about cost savings......not.

Smithsonian directed to prepare Space Shuttle Discovery for relocation-
The White House is reportedly seeking to move forward with a planned relocation of the Discovery space shuttle from its longtime home in Chantilly to Texas.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has requested that the Smithsonian Institution work with NASA on preparing to transfer the orbiter from the National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center to the Space Center Houston Museum in Texas, according to a letter sent to members of Congress earlier this week.

The Smithsonian and NASA have estimated that it will cost at least $120 million to $150 million to relocate the Discovery, not including the expenses of building a new facility in Texas to house the vehicle.

The Smithsonian has been asked by OMB to work with NASA to prepare to move the Discovery space shuttle to Houston, TX, within the 18 months specified in the reconciliation bill signed into law on July 4, 2025. The bill does not specifically mention Discovery as the designated vehicle for relocation, and its terms could include any number of space vehicles, but the administration is interpreting the law as sufficiently specific to move forward with the transfer of Discovery. The Smithsonian and NASA have been asked to begin by verifying the actual costs associated with the move.
