Gov shutdown about to get worse

I'm going to need a new passport within a few months, in order to continue traveling around Europe and back to the USA.
I wonder if it's going to be a problem if this shutdown persists which it appears it will indefinitely.
I know I should be more sympathetic towards the Federal workers who can't feed their kids or pay their rent but I've got vacations planned.

We've already established that I know nothing about politics and I rarely watch the news so I thought I'd ask your all opinions on the shutdown. Why is it happening? It's called the United States but I'm not seeing too much unity there.

The political party in control of all branches of government is playing stupid games, hence the stupid prizes they won last week.

I think it's ending this week, the GOP caved and so did the 10 moderate Democrat Senators.
The really interesting thing this means is that Adelita Grijalva from AZ will be sworn in and she'll sign the discharge petition to get the process moving forward on the release of the Epstein files.

The fury from far-left elected Democrats, and socialists like Jon Stewart, over the federal government reopening tells you they don’t give a damn about the poor going hungry.
They wanted the government to remain closed. Even though if the government had not reopened, millions would not have received their monthly SNAP payment, which is the federal government’s food stamp program.
Here’s oh-so compassionate Jon Stewart speaking for the Democrat party as he rages against reopening the government…
“They fucking caved on the shutdown, not even a full week removed from the best election night results they’ve had in years,” Stewart . “You had the wind at your back, election victories all over the country… Democrats, you sold out the entire shutdown not to get what you wanted but for a promise not to get what you wanted later.”
the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential frontrunner, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, on the vote to reopen the government: “Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!”

The Democrat party as a whole was so opposed to reopening the government and ensuring people got their food stamps that the U.S. senators trotted out by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to finally break the filibuster are the senators least vulnerable to a primary challenge. They are reelection next year.
It just goes to prove that Democrats, including people like Jon Stewart and the party’s base of activists and fundraisers, really were and are willing to see needy people go hungry if that’s what it takes to ensure taxpayers foot the bill for illegal aliens to receive health care and the wealthy to continue to receive Obamacare subsidies.
Yes, I realize SNAP is a corrupt disaster that is abused and filled with waste and fraud. But I’m also aware that some people truly need it. What about those people, Democrats? What about those people, Jon Stewart, George Soros, Jimmy Kimmel, et al?
And this wasn’t even really about Obamacare subsidies. Jon Stewart, Gavin, and the rest were willing to see people go hungry just to stick it to Trump. That’s what this 40-day shutdown was really about — humbling Trump by forcing him and the GOP to cave on something, anything — even if needy people had to go without.
WATCH — The Democrats’ Shutdown Hypocrisy Is Shamefully Obvious:
The whole shutdown was a joke. Republicans only wanted to pass a resolution that would keep spending at its current level. In exchange for a clear continuing resolution, the GOP asked for nothing new — no add-ons, nothing. It was Democrats who wanted to change the rules and use a shutdown for leverage, even though a shutdown would mean no food stamps for the needy and hell raining down on travelers as air traffic controllers went unpaid.
When will people understand that Democrats and people like Jon Stewart, Gavin Newsom, and George Soros are monsters willing to sacrifice their health and safety to obtain power?
These people are queering your kids, destroying women’s sports, releasing the worst offenders from prison, importing the unvetted third world by the millions, and willing to see you go hungry just to get what they want.
Monsters. Time and again they prove it, but the dummies keep right on voting for them.
You're fooled; we're not.
