The bill includes funding for protection for lawmakers who are scared of violence. In essence, the GOP is saying:
- We'll do nothing on gun control
- We won't dial down the rhetoric
- But we will charge you for protecting
us from the violent world we've
created
- We'll do nothing on gun control

House Republicans roll out 7-week funding patch as shutdown looms

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) doesn't create policy. It reports data. It has strict statistical methods, peer-reviewed models and decades of insulation from political pressure.
Firing the commissioner because the numbers are politically inconvenient is a direct attack on objective reality.

I deliver pizzas a few nights a week for some extra cash.
Just told the crew that Trump (alone, no congressional approval) just bombed Iran.
They all cheered.
And I put in my notice.

Probably one of my favorite stories from the Bible is when Jesus told his disciples they were all going to die because he was giving tax cuts to the rich instead of caring for the sick & the poor and when they got upset, he went to a graveyard and filmed a weirdly condescending video mocking them.

So, #SCOTUS is reluctant to allow federal judges issue nationwide injunctions. I get that.
So, split the baby.
If it's a beach of the Constitution (for example, birthright citizenship, abrogation of due process, etc), they can.
Anything else is for their own jurisdiction, only.
Not hard.
