A lot of my friends still in the federal government at other agencies, many well-funded agencies, are equally okay with enduring no funding for concrete action that could stop the death in our city streets.
The Senate may choose to vote together on the DHS and LHHS bills. Thus, a filibuster on DHS may mean no funding for NIH. What my colleagues are saying:
“Shut it down, public health will understand. I’ll work without pay again.”
