Government Availability tracker from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18868754
That tracker was amusing, this one is more informative.
I cannot find a supporting data source for Dept of Defense having 460,168 employees furloughed in January 2019.
Tangentially related, I don't get why there isn't more talk about Congress overriding Trump's veto to reopen the government. Both parties seem to want it, you would think a 2/3 supermajority in both houses would be attainable.
Nice work! You'd think the Hollywood elites and silicon valley stars would make donations to all these poor people.

I see now why the Republicans are in no great hurry
