Air traffic controllers aren’t getting paid. Federal employees aren’t getting paid. Practically the only people in our government who ARE getting paid are members of Congress. That's why I brought two bills to the Senate floor to stop paying Congress during shutdowns.

Members of Congress should not keep getting paid during government shutdowns while forcing federal workers to miss paychecks. The resolution passed by the Senate will ensure lawmakers aren’t rewarded for shutting down the government.

We voted to end pay for Senators during a government shutdown. If our federal workers aren’t getting paid during shutdowns, neither should we.

Welcome to WEEK 5 of the Schumer Shutdown ➡️ SNAP benefits are running dry ➡️ Air traffic controllers aren't getting paid ➡️ Federal law enforcement officers aren't getting paid All because Democrats have to prove they're "resisting" President Trump.

Senators should NOT leave until ALL of DHS gets paid — including ICE! We need to pass my No Budget, No Pay Act to hold members ACCOUNTABLE. If federal workers aren’t getting paid, NEITHER SHOULD CONGRESS.

Enough is enough. More than 500,000 Americans will have their flights canceled every day because air traffic controllers aren’t getting paid. This is wrong. Pay the controllers. End the Schumer Shutdown. Open the government.

When Chuck Schumer says, "Every day gets better for us." Who is US? It's not the military who aren't getting paid. It's not the Border Patrol who aren't getting paid. It's not the air traffic controllers who aren't getting paid. Who is US? Dems are playing a dangerous game.

I think it’s the height of hypocrisy that Members of Congress were paid through the government shutdown, but our military and air traffic controllers were left twisting in the wind. That’s not leadership.

If the men and women defending our country aren’t getting paid, no Member of Congress should be collecting a paycheck either.

While traveling today, I spoke with a pilot who mentioned that air traffic controllers are getting increasingly anxious and frustrated by this government shutdown. These hard-working Americans aren't being paid right now, but they're dedicated to keeping us safe. It’s time for Congress to come together and get our government working again for the American people.

TSA agents aren’t getting paid. The Coast Guard isn’t getting paid. Let me be clear, American workers should not be punished because of Democrats political games. The federal government needs to be completely reopened.

Senator John Kennedy just dropped a rare moment of logic on the Senate floor. He’s introducing two bills to block Congress from getting paid during a government shutdown, arguing that if federal workers lose paychecks, lawmakers should too. For once, a Republican said it plain: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” Imagine that, accountability in Congress.

Air traffic controllers and technicians who SHOWED UP FOR WORK each day during the government shutdown despite not getting paid deserve more than just a “thank you.” Their $10,000 bonus checks are coming soon!

🇺🇸JUST IN: The Senate just passed a resolution 99-0 to stop senators from getting paid if the government shuts down. About time. If federal workers miss paychecks, Congress shouldn’t be cashing checks either.

If Americans are going without pay and our troops aren’t getting their checks, Congress shouldn’t either. I’m introducing a constitutional amendment to end congressional pay during government shutdowns, and I hope you’ll join me in backing it.

I strongly support my colleague John Kennedy’s legislation, the No Shutdown Paychecks to Politicians Act. If the men and women who stepped up to serve the Department of Homeland Security—to keep Americans safe—aren’t getting paid, then neither should members of Congress.

"The effects of the government shutdown are being felt by many air travelers as delays and staffing shortages reach air traffic control nationwide." "Many controllers are calling out sick since they're no longer getting paid." All because Dems refuse to reopen the government.
