That is the big story after lawmakers tried and failed to get the votes to pass a spending bill with border wall funding. Midnight came and, well it went. Okay. Heres the question how long the the shutdown last . Thousands of federal workers may now have to wait, many of them continuing to report to work, with no idea when theyll see their next paycheck.
