Veronica Escobar, Congresswoman for El Paso. Thank you, ma'. Am. Talk a little bit about what we talked about, about the Congress shutdown. We are now into a full week since the federal government shut down. And I am here in El Paso because Speaker Mike Johnson, who is the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, basically shut down. The House is not open to bipartisan negotiations.
