democrats don't care, vast majority of them make their money via insider stock trading, payoffs from lobbyists, "consulting" fees from various companies, etc.

Definitely not, they have failed to deliver the most important part of their job, to keep government running.

No they shouldn’t. That way there’s an incentive for them to sort their shit out, just like the rest of us have to do to get bloody paid.

Most won't care because they are millionaires or spouse is millionaire and can go without for a while especially since most receive back pay
Fining them might work but we'll never know
Best policy is term limits

@pdockal That sounds like a perfect storm. Overpaid people with no incentive to do the right thing. What a shame.

They are just a liking to go unpaid as they are to reduce their pay during budget cuts.

I've said for a long time, members of congress and senate should use the same means for salary, health care and retirement as the people they represent. And yes, if the government shuts down, their salary should as well. They may be a little more inclined to come to the table and work with one another than point fingers and walk away.

Hell no they shouldn’t be paid, but you know damn well they view themselves too important to do without their money.

When people like Chuck Schumer doesn't get what he wants, he's willing to hold this country and possibly the entire world hostage until he gets what he wants. Him and all others doing this are guilty of treason!

I think that there should be posted lists of all Congress people who voted to shut it down along with QR codes that take you to their email in the security lines and around the airports. It would allow travelers to correspond while waiting in line.

If ever there is a shutdown, first to go should be the salaries of all elected officials with no back fill.

Trump could easily pay the TSA out of his so called "Big beautiful bill", yet refuses to.
Why not? Because Trump wants to blackmail Congress.
So yes. Push Trump to pay for the TSA.
This congressional bill only deals with ICE. Not the TSA.

Me:Trump is just playing political blackmail. you are just refusing to say it.

He is plausibly engaging in political blackmail — offering or withholding support for TSA pay to force Congress into conceding on other priorities — and that's a reasonable, evidence-based characterization of the tactics described.

I hate that TSA employees are the pawns in these political games.
