I agree. It’s a perfect opportunity to identify unnecessary employees. It also gives DOGE access to things without interference. The dems are helping DOGE.

A shutdown would be AMAZING for us. Dems know that. It seems that they’re in a lose-lose-lose situation right now.
1. Get blamed for the shutdown which, and we know that a shutdown is no big deal. But they’ve identified a shutdown as a scariest boogeyman ever when GOP could be blamed. Their base will be freaking out.
OR
2. Give DOGE free rein to invade all offices while so many will be practically empty.
AND/OR
3. Provide the opportunity to show both Dems and GOPs that life goes on for everyone with minimal staff, identifying all un-necessary employees.
ALSO good for us: Save a ton of money, as the employees CAN be unpaid during the shutdown. In the past, when/if called back later, they have received back pay. But that isn’t required, so don’t do it.
