Day 16 of the government shutdown — and polls are turning against the Democrats. Speaker Mike Johnson calls their bluff, Trump moves to protect troops’ pay, and the left melts down over it. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom blames “California Derangement Syndrome” for critics pointing out the mass exodus of jobs, companies, and taxpayers from his failing state — and Kamala Harris keeps embarrassing herself on her book tour.
