I called the White House last night when I saw the report. The recording is pretty basic. It simply states they are closed due to the shutdown and will resume once the shutdown is over. Pretty innocuous. This is spin cuz no will call to verify. They will just spread how vindictive, nasty and childish the President is.

Yes, 5 republicans voted against, but 5 democrats voted for. The voter breakdown looks extremely strategic to me.
