Community Post: 8 Most Passive-Aggressive Government Shutdown Alerts

Today, Americans awoke to the dystopian hellscape created by a government shutdown. Did we say shutdown? Okay, it's more of a temporary rollback of non-essential services. Nonetheless, the government wants to assure you that anarchy is sweeping the land.

1. The White House Goes Dark

Always eager to avoid blame, President Obama passes the buck with some serious passive aggressiveness.

Someone forgot to mention that he wouldn't talk to Congress to avoid the shutdown.

2. Crops spoil in the fields

The USDA is down? Zut alors! But who will tell us about legally mandated gherkin specifications?

3. We have no standards

"Conferences and other events scheduled during the shutdown are postponed or canceled." Great, and I already bought my tickets to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/TC 172/SC 1 Optics and Photonics/Fundamental Standards !

4. FLOTUS is silenced

The First Lady gets paid to tweet? Now who will tell us when to drink water?!

5. Health is outlawed

At least it's only Health Data and nothing important. Oh wait, didn't Obamacare start up today?

6. Weather or not?

Weather has been cancelled until further notice.

7. Every highway an autobahn

New game: Provoke National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bureaucrats to respond to you on Twitter! Does this mean speed limits won't be enforced for the next few days?

8. No government selfies?

Argh — even the White House's Instagram is out! How will I know if an intern had an especially elegant pumpkin spice cappuccino (the 1977 filter really brings out the orange).

At least one government worker isn't silent today.

Daily on Defense: Border deal DOA, Ukraine aid in peril, Blinken back in Mideast, retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Syria, McKenzie’s advice to Biden

Follow us on Twitter View this as website BY JAMIE MCINTYRE ADVERTISEMENT FROM 'CATCH AND RELEASE' TO 'DETAIN AND DEPORT': After months of hard-nosed negotiation behind closed doors in the Senate, the text of a compromise $118 billion national security supplemental budget bill, which includes major concessions from the Democrats on border security and desperately needed aid for Ukraine, was released last night. Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator, said the bill contains all the most vital reforms Republicans have demanded and called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border." "The bill provides funding to build the wall, increase technology at the border, and add more detention beds, more agents, and more deportation flights. The border security bil
