🚨 JUST IN — IT’S OFFICIAL: US Senate unanimously BANS all senators from getting a single paycheck if the federal government is shutdown, filed by Sen. Kennedy FINALLY! This should've already been the case 👏🏻 Don't give them a DIME if they defund TSA and other crucial agencies. This... is called FAIRNESS 🇺🇸show more

Idk they are all multimillionaires making six figures from dividends and don’t even need that paycheck to pay their bills. 🫪

This is called virtue signaling. Virtually zero members of Congress rely on their congressional paychecks to live, unlike the voters they're elected to represent. But thanks for the show.

Oh yeah I'm sure they will suffer greatly. Heck they might even have to withdraw from their bribery funds. And darn it they were hoping to use that for a beachfront summer home 🤦‍♂️.

I don't know that I call this FAIRNESS. Common sense, yeah...but FAIRNESS would be if they were on the same health insurance and retirement/pension plans as the rest of us. FAIRNESS would be getting booted if they go against what they said they were going to support.

@truestormyjoe

their millions made from dividends from insider trading will cover the missed paychecks...

I have serious doubts that this announcement is even vaguely true. But... If it is, I am surprised @LeaderJohnThune didn't shut it down. Being the corrupt putz he is.

@mark89894 This won’t hurt them a bit, they are all millionaires and have massive investments from insider trading.

No more pensions,no more Healthcare,no more pay fuck you! Go home back to the real world!! Stop incentivising the job at all you won't get crook's and thieves!! They will have to steal money faster and the paper trail will be left behind

Maxine Waters lives in a 5M house on a 170k salary. Do you seriously think they care?

When was this?

@mark89894 Senate to withhold pay during any lapse in appropriations but providing back pay once funding resumes.

The Kennedys has never failed America

Let the House vote for it to effect House rep.

Big fucking deal. Not being a doomer, but they haven’t done anything of importance this term.

They only don’t get a dime until after the shut down is over, and it will not go into effect until after November 2026.

But when they do get paid it should NOT be retroactive. They should lose the $$ completely not just postpone it. These crooks aren't living paycheck to paycheck they have plenty of money to live on.

No pay at all? Or just their official legislator paychecks? Some get bigger unofficial legislator paychecks, don’t they?

That’s really not gonna help that much almost all of the senators are quite wealthy. Thanks to the rules that Congress has put in place to protect them.

Shouldn't we have had this before they all became millionaires ? I doubt any of them are living paycheck to paycheck now. Asking for a friend.

Yes

@Grok is this report true? What is the status of this?

Now include when Johnson runs home because he doesn't want a vote. They only worked 72 days this year.

It doesn’t matter. Most are on the take and are worth millions. No pay for a little while won’t hurt any of them.

Uh' so this happened in May 2026.

Is this real? I hope so!

You mean they would have to live off their investments! How is that even possible!!!😱

Just means they’ll make sure it don’t shut down again so they don’t miss a paycheck and somehow we’ll still get screwed

@Pacfree76 So what they make 100x more from their special interests than their paycheck.

@drhrose Does this include their staff. A U.S. Senator missing a paycheck would be equivalent to me skipping that drive thru breakfast sandwich once a week

THEY JUST VACATION AND NEVER WORK

Love this!

FINALLY!!!! Thank you!🇺🇸

It's a chump change compared to how much they grift. If you cut off the grift, then they would squirm.

Like they give a shit. It's not even most of their primary incomes.
