Who else is in today?

I can’t believe my LD is making the whole team come in today. Most of us were already just sitting around doing nothing since the shutdown started. Anyone else stuck in this boat?

Wow. I would somewhat understand if it was just the LD and key senior policy staffers. But making the whole policy team come in sounds like complete overkill.

Ditto. My senator even said there’s no reason to make the staff suffer just because the senators can’t come to a compromise.

I wonder what your chief is thinking about the LD’s decision.

My LD was thinking about it, but ultimately came down on the side of reason.

You’re supposed to serve the people, not yourself. You need to come in and show the American people you care.

Are you serious?

Yes. I came in and have been tracking everything so that we are ready to go if something pops.

You should really consider getting a life. There’s probably an 80% chance we get nothing done this weekend

lol sucks to be on the senate side

Yup, as expected, text isn’t coming out until tmr

Holy shit. My LD says we still can’t go home in case something comes out today. Is anyone hearing anything about something actually coming out today?

Hearing maybe on bill text but no votes.

No votes today. Conference meeting at 12:30 tomorrow and there will be a cloture on MTP vote on something after (probably failed CR).

Good find

These idiots made me come in just for my boss’s floor speech. Three hours of my life wasted.
