What You're Tweeting About the Federal Compromise
Reactions to the compromise that stopped a full-scale government shutdown.
Twitter has seen a flurry of activity in the past few days about the possibility of an impending government shutdown, but as of last night Congress and the President reached an agreement.
While government has reached a compromise (for now), many citizens have not. Here is what people are saying in the aftermath of #shutdown on twitter.
