  tldr- FCC (and many other federal agencies?) will perform orderly shutdown on Jan 3 if congress does not do the needful - it seems to be a game of chicken between trump and democrats over funding the "mexican Wall".

  It's amazing that this is barely news in the rest of the world - I know the xmas timing makes news coverage / consumption weird but I completely missed how serious this had got.
