“Time to go out and enjoy this gorgeous spring weekend.”

Oh, I did! Went hiking in the Wissahickon Gorge, a truly awesome place where you would never know that you’re in a major American city…

WaPo:

The process of shutting down the federal government is underway. With the clock ticking towards Friday’s federal budget deadline and President Obama hosting congressional leaders for budget talks at the White House on Tuesday, top administration officials have instructed agency officials to begin sharing details of shutdown contingency plans with top managers. This marks the next step toward both curtailing government operations if a budget impasse occurs and informing federal workers whether they are considered “essential” personnel who would stay on the job despite a shutdown.

POLITICO:

Republican leaders are preparing the House for a government shutdown, as they plan to distribute a pamphlet about the mechanics of a partial congressional work-stoppage to all lawmakers’ offices Tuesday morning, according to several senior House aides.

I’d say there is going to be a shutdown.
