How many of them are wealthy anyway? Sure, maybe not Musk-level, but how many of them debate living out of a minivan to save rent money?

Just admit it. Congress is a cesspool of corruption on both sides of the imaginary aisle. Liars and genocidal freaks abound.

Trump looks OFF. Something happened to him he seems unhealthy, drawling his words more than ever. His hell bent determination to turn Americans against AMerican is getting worse and dangerous. He is mentally compromised. .

Also, for the most part, they can afford it. It doesn't mean the same to members of Congress as much as it does to most federal workers.

it figures that they're going to forge pay.

90% of those people don't deserve the paycheck they're getting. Especially Schumer and his buddy Jeffries. They're the worst of the worst and are an embarrassment to the Democratic party

Thanks Adam.

Has anyone seen this? It appears to be the official government HUD site spreading partisan lies. www.hud.gov#openModal

Shutting the Government down is the best thing that could happen...The Government is not working in the best interest of the people anyway. Besides, this should make all of MAGA happy. They don't believe in Government. They only believe in power.

Thank you so much for clarifying things. The general population doesn't know!

Yep.

GREAT NEWS! Bribes aren't considered official government business, so they can keep flowing in.

Exactly

LYING ASSHOLES

Ah yep.

Fastest way to in the shutdown is to announce that you will not Back pay Any construction work done at the White House during the shutdown. And because any such pay would have to be authorized by Congress, those construction workers would stop working just to be safe.

Just give it to the local food bank

YES!!

My guess, 5 trillion so far 1/21/25 to 10/1/25 give or take.

Yup. resist.bot/petitions/PA...

Everyday people dont have that option tells you alot of reform needs done !

Holding it until it reopens is in line with the people that do not get paid during the shutdown correct? They all get back pay. So is it a solidarity move?

It should be law that the elected officials are cut off until the budget is passed.

Congress places themselves above all government employees! What "work" do elected officials actually do!

This shutdown is not going to financially affect those supposed to vote for a fair budget. 30 days no pay is going to crush so many families. Remember THEY ARE GETTING PAID

They could just be honest and take real action and all would be fine. Whomever is using that for show is lazy AF and needs to be replaced.

Lying for sure. Congress cant seem to tell the truth

They believe they are part of the elite crowd. One of their billionaire buddies will give them money if they sell another piece of their soul. These people don't represent the people. Hell, many don't even live in the district or state that they represent.

What a surprise politicians talking more shit

SICK OF THE LIARS LIARS LIARS

That’s true for all Feds, though…

Greedy effers in the gee oh pea

"Christian" magas telling the poor their not worthy enough for health care

Adam, she’s right: youtube.com/shorts/iDFrj...

I am not too concerned that they won’t make rent. So many are wealthy aside from their congressional job.

CONGRESS IS MADE UP OF GREEDY BASTARDS, male and female! THAT’S THE START OF THE PROBLEM !!!!

I want to know how much members of congress pay for government healthcare insurance?

Enrollment is highest in states like New Mexico (35%), Kentucky (40% in rural areas), and Louisiana, often in Republican-held districts. About 51% of Republicans and 44% of Democrats have a family member on Medicaid. 40%ON MEDICAID ARE CHILDREN. BUT DEMOCRATS DO NOT WORK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

I'm 1 of them

They shouldn’t be able to not show up and blame everyone except them selves and make money off that.

I'm guessing recently-elected Representative Grijalva WON'T ever get paid for the closure period since Speaker Johnson refused to swear her in. And the only possible reason he could have had for doing that was to keep her from signing on to release the Epstein files.

They shouldn’t be paid when they aren’t working FOR the country!

This 👆Everything that Trump and his Project2025 friends don’t like, they just ignore - impound funding for housing that serves the disabled and elderly, food subsidies, healthcare. Whatever we, the American people want from paying taxes are being taken away to support this regime. No.

That is completely fucked up. I did leave a comment though.

I saw it, our government is no more.

My assistant saw one on the USDA page and sent me a text along the lines of what fresh hell is this and said she was going to walk in the park. I'm just so glad she didn't quit her job.

Nothing but political propaganda on all government websites since January 20 2025. It's disgusting.

Sorry, it won't hurt ANY of them. 15k month, they'll get by 4 sure 🫩

fuckers

Dear generals: If the military is asked to turn on its own citizens, including its own family members, remember, it can equally turn on its Commander in Chief, and other politicians asking it to do so.

They made millions off the stock market game they played at the beginning of the year. They are set for life no matter what they do to the American people.

This is good info.

#BenCline of #Virginia posted that nonsense yesterday. He refuses open town halls to his constituents while continuing his protection of #GOP pedofiles. #EpsteinFiles

And they are not living paycheck to paycheck... So it makes no difference to them

In high school, I asked one if he would be willing to take a pay cut to help fund schools and he said he made less in his first term than he did then so that "was like a pay cut." I was pissed and no one else noticed it was a bullshit answer.

And most of them have used their privilege to become wealthy anyways on insider information.

Any time that there is a government shutdown... all of Congress, the White House (including the President), and the SCOTUS should have to give back retroactively one month's salary, and any subsequent month's salaries, which cannot be refunded later... period... 🤬

And for 99% of them, one missed paycheck is not going to affect their lifestyle a single moment. But for 99% of Americans who will not be paid as a result of this shutdown, that missed paycheck might mean there's no food. That is obscene.

Hopefully they’ll find other work and never return.

The average member of Congress isn’t living paycheck to paycheck. The median net worth of a U.S. lawmaker is around $1 million—making them far wealthier than the typical American household.

I'm expecting a surfeit of lies and half-truths to come out of the mouths of the GOP over the next few days.

As all other federal employees are either furloughed or required to work without pay, including TSA & our Coast Guard, Congress should be the first to have their pay eliminated ...

About this shutdown…

And they can afford it….

This is just a shameless financial coup...

Besides actual pay they can live off the bribe money (campaign donations) they have gotten

🔥🔥🔥🔥Maybe u can answer my burning question: Will the shutdown also freeze ICE operations?

A congressperson who can do without their own salary isn't working for the people, he/she is working for whoever pays them.

And, as I understand it (I'm Canadian), the number of millionaires in Congress is shockingly high. Waiting for their pay... isn't going to hurt them in anyway close to what many of their constituents are going to get hurt.

Ok.we got paid weekly. Big difference!

There are few things more egregiously despicable than feigned nobility.

Is that how you rolled? 🤣

We know they’re lying because they’re always lying! 🤥

IMO if you don't show up for work (unless you are using a sick day), you should not get paid until you DO show up.

Not like missing a month of pay matters to all the multi-millionaires in Congress.

Same with federal employees

They think we will get tired of calling out their lies, fraud, and corruption. We won't.

Shut it all down

But Adam, let's make this clear. Democrats want to keep millions of Americans insured for healthcare. IT IS BS that Ds are for healthcare for people here illegally, which is AGAINST the LAW. So, unless trump is giving healthcare to illegal residents, IT IS NOT HAPPENING.

Federal employees are paid for their work during a shutdown after it ends as well.

The optics are better for them. Bastards.

Shutting down the government won’t stop us from demanding the truth. Make this TREND the whole time the Government is shutdown ! 👇 #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Make them squirm !

Can someone put forth a law not to pay the useless legislators that don’t stop this madness

They all have enough money to make it through the shutdown without their congressional salaries. Possible the freshmans will struggle.

THEY THINK WE ARE ALL SO STUPID, JUST LIKE THEIR BASE!

NOPE, it's BIWEEKLY. Members of Congress are paid on a biweekly basis, receiving their salaries every two weeks during the terms for which they are elected.

Third, the ones who will say this are likely already millionaires.

The average American can afford to do that!

Members of Congress also make $174,000 a year, so they won’t have to decide between food and medicine during a shutdown. In related news, how does Speaker Mike Johnson cash his paycheck since he says in his required financial forms that he doesn’t have a bank account? Does he get it in cash?

Good thing they get inside information to trade stocks. I doubt they will miss a meal.

“Secretary of War” who can’t do a pull-up and wears makeup demands that military become more fit. President Blubber agrees. Intend to use soft civilian targets as training dummies.

Yeah, they'll always take care of theirs truly.

Surprised but not surprised to see this on a government website

Andy Kim explained pretty well about elsewhere, maybe they'll come up with another way to do different so it's not just holding! 🤔

Except for any ICE that is a 3rd party contractor. That’s a contract issue. I’d just love it if govt shutdowns weren’t addressed 🤣🤣🤣

I caught that too. Those loopholes like ‘until’ reopen. In the public work place miss work it’s Shitz out of luck when return

Just another month when they get paid for harming America.

Right - they are not foregoing their paychecks. Or the healthcare or food allowance or all the other things they get for working about half a year.

A whole lot of people are going to be hurting, but not them. Especially not with the free healthcare they get, that we pay for. Of course they’re trying the old “I donate my paycheck” bit, from the book of daddy trump. He gets away with it, maybe they will too!

Republicans went on vacation earily to prevent the discharge petition to force a vote to release the epstein list

Aren't they mostly millionaires?

Big deal, they have all their insider trading deals to fall back on.

Will they all stop trading stocks on insider information? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Democrats is all about helping illegals not Americans, all the older people will not get their Social security pay, that they worked for for decades, because Government spend it. Give yourselves a big atta boy.

Now, if only they'd give up their healthcare.

now if they gave that paycheck to health clinics and food banks that the poor could access in their communities...

I would be okay with it, if everyone affected by this got back pay, too. But no. that's too... something.

That’s not where their money comes from anyway.

They are mostly well healed financially.

How about that forgo their donors' funding? How about permanently freezing all trading activity? Or take away their health care benefits for the rest of the year? Those paychecks are chump change to them.

Wow! We can’t let them make decisions that only affect us while they live unscathed by their punitive measures! Same with healthcare-Congress should have the same crappy healthcare the rest of US citizens have. They are not special

I’m willing to keep this government shutdown through Inauguration Day if necessary. Longer if required. Zero fux for the cult. Shut it down. Keep it shut. They didn’t want to negotiate. Let them live with that choice. That should be the dems position. Don’t recall members to dc. Spread the message.
