## Resource

Chris Cuomo explains why the partial government shutdown is no longer a partisan stalemate but a political strategy — and why Trump now owns the outcome. From a rejected deal to the role of the SAVE Act, Cuomo walks through how both sides are calculating advantage while the real-world impact builds, from strained systems like TSA to broader government breakdown. He also looks at what this moment says about how Washington operates when winning matters more than governing.
