Federal employees are guaranteed back pay at the end of any shutdown by law. This is not in question. That law - the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act - passed nearly unanimously. Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune voted for it. Trump signed it.
The conventional wisdom is that furloughed federal workers get backpay when the shutdown ends But a draft White House memo says that’s not the case as the Trump admin considers ratcheting up the pressure on Senate Dems to end the shutdown News here 👇 www.axios.com/2025/10/07/t...
President Trump and Republicans have shut down the government because they refuse to enact a deal that protects Americans from skyrocketing health care cost increases. I’ll keep working to end this shutdown, but please know that my office remains open and is here to help.
Yesterday Trump and Vought announced they'll cancel infrastructure projects in states with Dem Senators. This is deeply corrupt. Trump and Vought will raise electricity prices for millions of Americans and kill jobs including in districts represented by Republicans. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
Russ Vought and Donald Trump claim they have new authority to continue and even increase their mass firings of federal workers during a shutdown. Call it "DOGE 2.0." But this is not true, not only do they not have more authority, they have less. It is illegal, in fact.
Exclusive: Senior federal officials have quietly counseled several agencies against firing employees while the government is shut down — as President Trump has suggested he will — warning the strategy may violate appropriations law. https://wapo.st/46wAomW
Republicans are simply lying about this, again. They are lying for a reason: 15 million people are going to lose health care because of the Republican tax law signed by Trump. Many millions more are going to see huge health care cost increases very soon thanks to Republicans.
G’mar Chatima Tova! As the Jewish community observes Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, I wish you all a meaningful day of reflection – and an easy fast to those who are fasting.
During my telephone town hall last night, a constituent asked if Members of Congress get paid during a shutdown. I told her yes they do because of the 27th Amendment, but I will have mine withheld for the duration of a shutdown in solidarity with federal workers.
Donald Trump's "special military operation" in Venezuela is a terrible idea. He's going from murdering people on boats without charges or due process to what sounds like regime change by military force. A "President of peace" doesn't start new, unwise, and unnecessary wars.
NEW: Sec. Rubio is leading a push to try to oust Maduro. The Pentagon has put 6,500 troops in the region and is drawing up possible operations against crime gangs in Venezuela. Opposition figures say they're talking to the US about plans. Gift link to our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...
America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.
If Republicans in Congress did not want rural health facilities to close, they should not have voted to cut this funding. Lying about it now will not undo their Medicaid cuts, only their votes can. 7/7
Republicans, however, are claiming that Democratic legislation is a “cut” to rural hospitals because it replaces their $50 billion “rural health fund” with fully restored Medicaid funding. This is a lie. They voted to cut rural health, and they know it. 6/
