The shutdown …
… appears to be over. If it ever happened at all:
What shutdown? It turns out that large parts of the federal government were “show down” for the past three days.
Funding for Homeland Security has been approved for the next two weeks and the rest is fully funded (at bloated levels) through the end of September.

If the government shuts down and no one notices it, did it really shut down?
Looks like the Clintons will testify before a congressional committee re: the never ending Epstein saga.
Here is what they will say:
I don’t know
I don’t remember
That’s not true
On the advice of my attorney …….
IOW it will be a total waste of time.
Would be nice if the republicans could spend their time on important issues.
