I’m going to keep fighting to make sure lawmakers don’t get paid when they fail to do their jobs and fund the government. It isn’t right that regular people feel more pain during shutdowns than the politicians who cause them.

You're probably the best senator we have, @SenJohnKennedy. Regarding Congress getting paid, until legislation prohibiting insider trading for members of Congress passes, I suppose they really don't need the paltry government paychecks! 😂

I couldn’t agree more. While you’re at it, let’s get rid of the perks. How about this. Double the salaries, but they have to pay for everything including their staff from those salaries.

So true John. Government non action/s need consequences. Hitting someone's pocket book is a known way of doing that. As most of see, there are basically no consequences for Government leaders making bad/poor decisions.

You’re ridiculous. If Republicans did their jobs none of this would have happened. We have 600 thousand people filing bankruptcy because of Republicans and medical bills. You are the laziest of the gang. You aren’t doing your job. You consistently vote against our best interest.

Senator Kennedy, you are one of my favorite senators, even though I live in Colorado. Here is a better idea: introduce a bill that prohibits government shutdowns. If Congress can't agree on a new budget, just keep operating with the old one, even if it takes years.

What an absolutely terrible idea. So voting no means you don’t get paid? That’s just extortion to twist members arms to voting with the majority.

Why ask permission to introduce a bill? So what your saying is the Senate leadership decides what bills or amendments can get a vote. So that's a handful of people that decides what laws we live under. Thats a sham Senator, so much for Representative governance.

Mark Robinson proposes a law ensuring that during government shutdowns, soldiers, federal police, and air traffic controllers get paid, but politicians do not. They should lead by example, cutting their own pay first and forfeiting backpay if unresolved quickly. He urges sharing this idea to prevent future shutdowns.

Question: Do you see any oversight as to who Trump’s $1.8 billion legal fund goes to and for what justification? Mike Quigley “So you get out of jail free, and now he's going to reward them. He's going to, in a sense, pay them for what they did. Right? These are people who wanted to hang the vice president of the United States, who wanted to overturn a lawful election, who right afterwards, the Republican leadership scorned the president and the people who did this. And now what are we going to do? Stand by and watch them get paid for?”

Day 16 of the government shutdown. For the 10th time, Democrats voted to keep it that way. Strange as it may seem, shutdowns didn’t even exist before 1980 when a century-old law was redefined to create this mess. Let’s get the government back open. The American people expect us to do our jobs!

Bill Maher asks how the government plans to fund universal basic income if “20 percent” of people lose their jobs and stop paying taxes. “The kids are booing AI... They get it that it’s going to take all their jobs.” “Dario Amodei, he’s the CEO of Anthropic. He says unemployment could spike to 10 to 20 percent. That’s what it was in the Depression, 20 percent.” “Ford CEO said AI will leave a lot of white-collar people behind, could replace half of all white-collar workers. And what is the plan? I don’t get it.” “It’s like, ‘Oh, well, no one will work anymore, so we’ll give them a universal basic income.’ With what?!” “If they don’t work, that money has to come from the government. How are they going to get it to the government if the people aren’t paying taxes?!”

THEY CAVED!! HAHA. The Government ShutDown is over . It’s Reopening 👏 It was all a game. The Democrats wanted the shutdown right before the election so they could blame Trump for people losing SNAP benefits and paint him as evil. Meanwhile regular Americans didn’t get paid and struggled. But Congress still got their checks. They never missed a meal. To them, power matters more than people.

When politicians rely on their own mostly illegally acquired wealth or corporate donors to finance their campaigns, their boss isn’t the voter; it’s those who funded them. This creates a pay-to-play governance system where policy serves the few, not the many. We should fund our politicians, just like most developed countries do, to make them accountable to citizens.

Too many people are terrified of the truth. I am talking about those who are obsessed with Israel. Nothing scares them and threatens them more than truth. Understand this so you stop wasting your energy on those who refuse to listen. For many of them, the truth isn’t just uncomfortable. It would shatter them. That’s why they fight so hard to stay blind. Stop expecting them to see. Stop arguing. Stop hoping. Remember antisemitism is a symptom. It’s not the cause. So for the woke right crowd and woke left progressives, being right matters more than the truth. Admitting they were wrong about something feels like an existential threat to their ego, to their identity, to their reputation, to their credibility. They don’t have maturity, intelligence, courage and mental capacity to admit their mistakes. You can wake up someone who is asleep. You cannot wake up someone who is only pretending to be asleep. And most of the time, their denial is not even in their conscious level. When you confront them with the truth, their brain kicks into defense mode. It twists reality, rewrites history, ignores evidence. Anything to protect the fragile ego. It becomes like survival to them. Their brain subconsciously tries to keep them alive. The kindest and most effective thing you can do is this: Ignore them completely. Isolate them. Act like they don’t exist. Don’t hate them. Hate still gives them energy. Don’t engage. Don’t feed them attention. Just walk away and pour your energy into people and things that can actually grow and learn.
