@touaregtweet Been going back & forth with Brian Schatz about the CR vote, this is his latest explainer. I also asked about the upcoming debt ceiling crisis, but no comment on that yet. Highlights are mine.
He may have a point, I don’t understand all the nuances involved.

This is the highlighted portion of the text. "If we entered a shutdown, the Executive Branch would continue to function under the Anti-Deficiency Act, a 19th century law that prohibits federal agencies from spending or obligating funds without funding from Congress.  However, the law also would have provided the administration with authority to determine which federal agencies and workers were essential, which agencies would be shuttered, and which workers would be furloughed.  This could have provided an excuse for President Trump, Elon Musk, and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought to fire all of those furloughed federal workers, and never restart many important federal services that we rely on. In addition, a shutdown would have significantly hurt our ability to push back against the illegal actions by Trump and Musk.  The flexibility they would have under the Anti-Deficiency Act would make it more difficult for Congress to stop their efforts to dismantle the federal government during the course of the shutdown.  Importantly, in a government shutdown, action through the courts would significantly slow as courts deplete their funding and are forced to make difficult staffing decisions.  And after a time, the courts would have to close.  Without the checks from the judicial and legislative branches, this administration would increasingly run wild throughout the government, all with no guarantee of a better congressional spending bill in the end."

I had a lot of folks show me the photos they took of the moon on their phones from last night. Phones are getting better each year, but my Sony A7r V shows there still isn't a replacement yet for an SLR/DSLR, a good lens, and a little bit of knowledge. Exposure bracketing made this one of the best moon photos I have ever taken.
