The shutdown has finished - at least in the short term Trump announces temporary end to partial government shutdown; vows to build wall despite no funding deal Good to see something has happened. I didn't see that he would do this - good on him for this move. No ground has been given. He is still adamant he will get his wall, by emergency powers if he needs. But at least 800,000 federal workers aren't being disadvantaged.
Great to see the will of the majority prevailing: Staffing problems caused by US government shutdown spark flight delays at major northeast airports Almost 14,000 unpaid tax agency employees refuse to return to work during US government shutdown Although he is adamant he will shut the government again on 15th Feb if he doesn't get his way. At least the workers will get paid Trump announces end to US government shutdown
Interesting timing - the declaration of the ending of the government shutdown occurred "after" the arrest of Stone and this comment from Pelosi: “It’s very interesting to see the kinds of people that the President of the United States has surrounded himself with. This connection to the integrity of our elections is obviously something we have to get the truth about, but it’s also bothersome to see his connections to Russia and the president’s suggestions that we should question whether we should be in NATO, which is a dream come true for Vladimir Putin,” said Pelosi.
