Is there still a government shutdown?

[question everything]

We heard a lot when it affected the TSA workers but are there other government employees that are not working, not being paid?

If yes, will this "convince" the supporters of "small government" to permanently eliminate these departments and employees?

1. I was just wondering this.

When the TSA started getting paid this dropped right out of the headlines.

3. I didn't even see when it happened that they started getting paid. I remember Trump SAYING they'd start getting paid

But I wasn't sure how/by what funding mechanism, and of course anything IQ47 says should be assumed to be bullshit unless proven otherwise

So they ARE getting paid, despite the shutdown? All the back pay and everything? From what funds?
