U.S. government to shut down today unless last-minute deal reached

As per @KathyPartdeux’s link it looks like Bowman is full of shit. Pity, we were so close to getting through the day with the Republicans being the only ones looking like poorly behaved children.

Bowman’s office said it was an accident, and the congressman told reporters later Saturday: “I was trying to get to a door. I thought the alarm would open the door and I pulled the fire alarm to open the door by accident.”

No functioning adult would mix up a clearly marked wall-mounted fire alarm trigger with a door handle. And if they somehow did then the responsible thing to do would be to immediately own up to it instead of waiting until they were identified by security footage.
