BREAKING: Senator Kennedy just introduced a resolution that would PREVENT members of Congress from collecting a paycheck during a shutdown. "This resolution is about SHARED SACRIFICE," and says that he doesn't want to punish anyone by offering this, but Democrats LOVE to punish everyone they can if they think... show more

Imagine how quickly they would get a funding bill passed

@congress you fuckers shouldn't be receiving a salary at all.

Chad Ledger6 months ago

Get it done. Let them know what it feels Like to suffer like these government employees who work tirelessly for our safety.

Andrew🇺🇲6 months ago

If federal workers, TSA agents, and our troops go without paychecks during a shutdown, Congress shouldn't get a dime either. Shared sacrifice means ALL of us feel the pain—not just the people actually doing the work. Pass S. Res. 526 NOW!🇺🇲

Intel X6 months ago

Shared sacrifice makes sense, but the real solution is stopping shutdowns in the first place, not just blaming the other side when they happen.

Great idea

Better to deduct from their paycheck and give it the citizens they hurt.

Should be mandatory.

@SenJohnKennedy Don’t you realize your democratic colleagues hate our Country and our citizens almost as much as they hate President Trump? Your Resolution needs to be introduced and reintroduced until it gets passed in the Senate. It needs to be put on state ballots for a vote?

Trohn Haakonsson6 months ago

sounds fair... if you all as leaders feel it's justified that people don't get paid for you to make a point.. get a vote trough or whatever.. you are not a leader if you yourself are not ready to face the same consequences.. no pay for the same duration imo. And plz remenber that this is "normal" hardworking people.. it's more than likely that some can't make the mortgage, rent or loan payment and your "powerplay" are the direct reason that the bank now move in and claim all they own and they find themselves on the street with nothing but a hungry and cold family.. and a towering debt hanging over them like a damocles sword.. how is that in any way moral ? .. just asking cuz i could not find any ethics and morals in it.

@magaforce24 fthedemocrats they are NOT Americans

June Bug6 months ago

Absolutely. If you’re going to shut down the government then you’re are shutting down yourselves. You are cutting the funding for your own paycheck. Correct?

Rooster6 months ago

I give him credit for trying. But I doubt any of the members of congress would agree to that any more than they would agree to term limits!

irish2all6 months ago

Sounds good to me.

US Patriot 🇺🇸6 months ago

Democrats do not care about anyone or anything except themselves and their own ideals for control.

Joe Myers6 months ago

Democrats and Rinos won't allow such a bill to pass. They should have term limits also.

Now pass one where every military member's paycheck gets the same percentage raise as members of congress and make it retroactive to 1960..adjusted for inflation.

Artificial Liberty🗽6 months ago

I’m sure all the principled Republicans will vote for that.

Never be another Senator Kennedy! Love this guy

KUNLUN昆侖6 months ago

Shared sacrifice” sounds fair, but does it actually change incentives during a shutdown? Members of Congress missing pay doesn’t necessarily resolve the underlying gridlock. So what problem does this realistically solve?

Barefootnit6 months ago

That's a roose to look like they've done something upstanding. Congressional pay is Not their bread and butter. FINE THEM O.25% daily of their net worth. They make millions in kickbacks & insider trading & lobbiests.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, folks like Russ Vought, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans, and they are hurting this country. And if Mike Johnson wants to say that this shutdown is going to last a long time, it is because he is choosing to punish the American people.

DOUBLE BREAKING: Markwayne Mullin's nomination has just ADVANCED through another vote and Senator Kennedy started to ROAST Dems just moments later. "There are TWO THINGS that can be done to prevent Democrats from using the PAIN of the American people to use as leverage against Trump." "If I were a King for a day- I‘m not and I don‘t aspire to be- and I wanted to avoid shutdowns. I would do two things." "I would provide that members of Congress CAN‘T BE PAID during a shutdown and I would provide that members of Congress CAN‘T LEAVE Washington, D.C. during a shut down." This is something EVERY AMERICAN would support. It's common sense and makes them think twice before fcking the American people.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

The U.S. Constitution requires Members of Congress to be paid, even during government shutdowns. If Members of Congress had to forfeit their pay during government shutdowns, there would be fewer shutdowns or they would end quicker. That’s why I’ve introduced a constitutional amendment that, if ratified, would bar Members of Congress from receiving a paycheck for the duration of a shutdown. It’s time Congress plays by the same rules as everyone else & we get back to work on behalf of the American people.

How is it that Democrats looked at files at the Treasury Department a year ago under the Biden Administration that showed a massive amount of wire transfers going into Epstein’s bank account, yet none of those Democrats chose to investigate those transfers? How is that possible? And … how is it that only now is it important for them to know about these transfers. You’d think they would have been concerned that maybe Trump had given Epstein money, yet they didn’t investigate when they had the chance. Odd right? During the Biden Administration Democrats literally had all the control they needed yet no investigations happened. Ghislane Maxwell was tried and found guilty during Biden’s reign of indifference. Someone got a judge to seal all the pertinent information and to date this judge has refused to unseal the info. But now, when they are secure in knowing no names will be released have they crawled out of their black hole to demand answers under the Trump Administration. So they can suggest that Republicans are hiding the truth when it’s their judge that won’t release the files. It’s a simple answer, Democrats are hypocrites. Like it or not. Just like the current shutdown people are suffering through. Dems want the illegals in our country covered for healthcare. Republicans want the illegals sent back to their own countries, therefore we wouldn’t have to cover their healthcare. Dems can tell us this isn’t true all they want but as Speaker Johnson has pointed out numerous times, their requests are there in writing. Dems want to fund all the items taken out in the Big Beautiful Bill. A bill they voted for. It was ok to take those people off healthcare (that would be our tax dollars) but now they want to hold the government hostage to get it back. Democrats are willing to punish American citizens to provide for illegals that SHOULD NOT BE HERE. DEPORT THEM ALL.

Trump: If Democrats took control of the congress and control of the country, I think that this country is finished. You'll have Washington, D.C.. and Puerto Rico as a state—which will be a disaster. Tremendous numbers of electoral college votes. They want to go to 21 supreme court judges. That's their perfect number. They talk about 13. But they want to go to 21.

🚨BREAKING: President Trump tells Peter Doocy that the radical democrats don't care about Charlie Kirk. They want to shut down the government. DOOCEY: "Charlie Kirk's funeral is going to start right after this program. This week, 58 Democrats voted down a resolution honoring the life and the legacy of Charlie Kirk. What does that a tell you -- does that tell you that things in this country are going to get worse before they get better?" TRUMP: "Everything is going so well. And the Democrats want to close it down. They want crime. I mean, if you think about it, today want crime, we don't. They want open borders, we don't. They want men playing in women's sports. They want transgender for everybody as far as—I don't know how they get elected, how they get any votes."

BREAKING: After recognizing that Bill Clinton (Slick Willy) had an ESTABLISHED relationship with Epstein post-conviction, Democrats did their best to DEFEND him and deflect to Trump. This is PATHETIC and shows their true motivation isn't JUSTICE, it's just a psychotic charade trying to GET TRUMP. They can't, won't, and couldn't DREAM of coming out on top. The American people are seconds from waking up and realizing that the TRUTH about Epstein is something that THEY have hidden/deleted/obscured for decades. The ONLY goal that exists for Democrats is getting Trump. The Stage 5 TDS has infected EVERY crevice of their party.

Khanna: Rep. Massie and I introduced a bipartisan bill to release all the Epstein files, and to make sure victims were protected. There are 10 Republican co-sponsors of that bill.. we have the votes tonight to pass it. But what happened is in the rules committee they don't want to have this vote tonight because they know they are going to lose. What's even sillier is they have this nonbinding resolution. I thought, surely we would vote on a nonbinding resolution. They don't even want to vote on the nonbinding resolution in case Donald Trump gets slightly offended

There’s no one better at making a deal than President Trump, and if there’s a deal to be had with the Democrats to prevent a shutdown, he’ll get one. But let’s be real: the only “win” Democrats want here is pain for the American people, just to punish them for voting for President Trump.

While Congressional Democrats repeatedly vote to keep government shut down, they are not only starting to acknowledge the suffering they are inflicting on American families, but they are also acknowledging that the pain is a key part of their strategy for “leverage” and power. Think about that! They want Americans to suffer, because they calculate it will boost Democrats somehow politically.

Democrats have spent a month playing with people’s livelihoods because the far-left wing of their party won’t let them accept a clean, nonpartisan CR. If they want to prevent damage from their shutdown, then they can end their shutdown. The bill is right there at the desk.
