You can’t legally spend money for Congressional security once the end of the fiscal year has passed.

If the government shuts down, that needs to include every armed officer guarding all of our Comgressmbers, Justices/ judges, or other senior government officials. Period.

If we’re broke, you all are on your own. I’m good with that.
