US government funding expires Jan 30 If Congress doesn't land a deal, a shutdown starts Jan 31
The fight is over DHS funding After the Minneapolis Border Patrol shooting, Democrats are threatening to kill the package on the Senate floor
They need 60 votes to pass One hard "no" and the clock goes red
POLYMARKET WHALES ARE PRICING IT 85% CHANCE FOR SHUTDOWN
Here's what happens when the machine stops:
> Federal paychecks don't hit accounts. 670,000+ people can't pay rent
> Government contractors stop work. Companies bleed
> Permits, licenses, approvals — all frozen. Construction halts, deals die in limbo
> Economic data goes dark. No jobs reports, no GDP updates, markets fly blind
It's the exact playbook from 2025, and it lasted 43 days
When uncertainty spikes, markets don't wait for confirmation:
• Treasuries reprice fast (safe-haven bid or flight, depending on sentiment) • Equities dump on the headline, recover only if it's short • Crypto? Pure volatility. Liquidations cascade because leverage doesn't care about "fundamentals"
Right now, almost no one is positioned for this
That gap between "shutdown risk" and "market pricing" is where the violence happens
