Other federal agencies are beginning to run out of money
Nationwide other agencies are also bringing back furloughed employees.
Thirty-six hundred aviation safety inspectors for the Federal Aviation Administration have been recalled to their jobs.
The Federal Drug Administration is bringing back 400 inspectors to check high risk foods, medicine and medical devices.
And the Internal Revenue Service will bring half its workforce, or 46,000 employees, to help issue tax refunds.
None of these workers will be paid.
Air traffic controllers and others have sued the Trump administration over mandatory work without pay. A U.S. district judge this week declined to rule on the issue and declined to give employees the right to sit out if they choose.
In the meantime, other federal agencies are beginning to run out of money. The federal court system - including the Supreme Court- can only sustain funded operations through January 25th, according to a post on the administrative courts website.

Such lazy-ass media. It's the "Food and Drug Administration". 
They really don't care to research or bother to have editors anymore.
For accuracy
and I thank you. But my whole point was that they have no one like you! 
My sharp eye picked up that C probably didn't stand for Network 
so I looked it up. Cheers
I like Ike.
