BLAME PELOSI

I’m a builder and contractor who is out of work due to the shutdown. If the Dems would quit their political games I could be building a beautiful wall to keep drugs and human trafficking out of America!

Zero effect so far.

Mitch McConnell, trying to stay invisible in all of this, is complicit. If he allowed the senate to vote on the house bill, there would no longer be a shutdown. Shame on him. Clearly, partisan politics overrules the will of the people. Hold him accountable.

Air traffic controller here. This unnecessary stressor is a fine addition to delicate recipe that is safety of air travel. But don't worry, my colleagues and I will continue to do everything we can to make sure we're the last thing on your mind when you travel by air.

IRS says tax refunds are going out still, but what about student loans? A lot of people rely on those, and disbursements are supposed to come out this month...

We're working without pay. Means not paying mortgage utilities loans bills and soon food. They laugh when you explain you're a federal employee and can you delay expected payment? Come the 15th there will be 800,000 faithfull deligent hungry employees past due on all bills...

Beautiful artwork in this shot.

Canadians are being instructed to reschedule the US part of their NEXUS interviews.

Its not affecting us. Msm desperately wants to pretend it is, but it isn’t

Well, I have to read about it everyday and I’m sick of that.

Half of my household works for NOAA. Aside from no pay, concern is what are consequences during hurricane/cyclone season.

I called the IRS and they had a message to call back after the shutdown so now I’m watching family guy!

Why should I (we) pay taxes if the government is shut down? The only reason I pay is to keep the government running. Trump shut down the government, maybe he can explain why we should be paying for his mistakes.

Mad? Call Mitch McConnell 202-224-2541 to tell him to vote on the bill passed by the House to end this farce.

Sorry for the typos... I should have re-read instead of relying on typos but there ARE people like me in very REAL situations here!!! :(

If something doesn't change before much longer because that is our hometown and where we have a stronger support system. We've only been in KC, MO for a year n a half and don't know too many people. I've just been focused on work n family :/

Effect: NPR digging for stories about every 3rd day....

I tried finding your link to share my story but only ended up directed to another article about government employees. My family and local community have limited resources but are trying to help. I and my girls might have to make an emergency trip back to IN

My government taxes are being wasted by Fascist Criminals in the Executive Branch and Senate

Nope

Electrician who would approve the electrical work is off due to the shut down!!! So it's definately putting I and my two little girls in a very tough place. I am scrambling to find work that pays me enough on an associates degree to cover childcare expenses.

I am back to relying on government healthcare and my tax income now only food stamps are due to run out shortly and I can't even get my electric upgraded so CANI can install a newer electric efficient furnace so my electric isn't curt off because the local

I'm a single mother of two children who was fired by a small business owner right before Christmas because he said my high level of work performance was 'too demanding' even though I asked if he had a work out Target for me and he said no.

A lot of people are saying the shutdown could last decades

I have a good friend who is a 3L law student. Monday she was supposed to start her capstone internship at the DoJ. She has to scramble to find some other law internship for credit before add/drop ends so she can graduate this spring on time, take the Bar, get a job.

Other than not getting a paycheck, not at all.

I just sold my car to pay bills... I just paid it off in November.

Federal employees are generally not able to communicate this.

You mean the time when...no...oh wait...no, not that either. Actually, I haven’t noticed a thing. Oh...you must mean all the media stories I keep hearing about how bad the partial shutdown is.

I wish NPR would shut down too

New project for gov't contractor was supposed to start Jan 7. On hold until the contractor thinks it might be paid. I am not working until the project starts.

I’m good, not really affected.

stlpublicradio No effect whatsoever!

Didn’t have to pay fees to enter two National Parks!

Unable to get dough from coyotes near botder.

Wanted to take our kids to the Smithsonian Museum this past weekend but everything was obviously closed. Tough in the cold to find a fun, educational trip that is indoors and not super expensive

Wait a little. When the insurance lapses because the government did not pay the premiums, and the federal employees have neither pay nor healthcare, it will get real interesting.

Certain individuals are not getting their passports because the IRS is not able to review their cases. Certain others may not get their passports in time for travel because their cases are extremely slow to be reviewed and cleared by Legal.

His life was shut down because of open borders

I lost 30 seconds of sleep thinking about it.

Oh wow, is the Schumer shut down still in effect? I didn’t notice.

It's pissing me off. Does that count?

It’s not

E-verify is down, so you cannot process I-9s for hiring.

We need propaganda! Propaganda, please! (But if you're been adversely affected by illegal immigration we don't want to hear that). 😕

Lines at the airport

Not one bit.
