Last shutdown was during Trump's first term and it went 34 days, the longest ever shutdown.

Why unfortunately? Have the Republicans agreed to reign in Vought? There's no point in passing a budget or CR if he can overrule it at will.
Because most feds are not political. They just want to go back to work.

I have not looked for it, so you will need to poke around.
My agency provided a guide with details. It says ‘May’ check so it’s not a requirement.

They’re just voting on the same bill until the house is back in session, right? So, with 5 needing to flip, this is just theater?

I think they are voting now. Senate is out this weekend so earliest vote is next week.
So the earliest back to work would be Tuesday?

Since the other thread went off the rails perhaps this one can serve to post pertinent job-related facts as they become available.
