If anything the paper has 800+ refs!

This is now the longest U.S. government shutdown in history.
The 2nd longest U.S. government shutdown was under the first Trump administration when Republicans also controlled all branches of government.
The data suggests that Republicans are unable to govern effectively.

The U.S. government has been shut down for 28 days now.
Over 900,000 federal workers have been furloughed.
Air traffic controllers are going without paychecks.
SNAP benefits to feed people run out on Sunday.
The House GOP refuses to meet in session.
None of this is normal nor acceptable.
