I'd love to know more about how we calculate the cost of shutdowns. I saw earlier that the last one cost something like $8B! Could you explain how we get to that number, and why it's more than if the government would have been up and running during that time?

Great piece. I have two questions. How long do you think this shutdown will last? Do you think this shutdown is beneficial given the state of the U.S. government?

Hi Gabe! Hopefully this is an easy one: can you point me to a link where I can see the DNC proposal for extending the budget? I know that Vance and the GOP are all flat-out lying when they say that the Dems want healthcare for undocumented migrants, but I'd like to say that I've read what they've actually proposed. Thanks!
