I’m a little disappointed that Congress has voted to avert a government shutdown for at least another week. I’ve loathed watching how this country has dysfunctionally lurched and lumbered through the first 100 days of Trump’s administration and a Republican Congress, so I was eager to see if the absence of government would maybe make America great again. Alas, we’ll have to wait another week. Oh well, at least Trump was able to finally pass one major piece of legislation … keeping the government funded for one more week. Congrats! Not quite FDR’s New Deal, but the biggest legislative win for Trump to date. Yay?
