No. Being precise matters. It would pay furloughed and excepted workers CHOSEN BY TRUMP. It would not pay all workers. The Democrat’s version of the bill, which the republicans refused to advance, would have paid everyone. |

. “Last minute” - like the heart defect I was BORN with that made me uninsurable on the open market once I was off my parents plan pre-ACA? Sorry I didn’t apply for insurance in the womb. |

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/us/politics/federal-workers-shutdown-pay.html As more than one million government employees go without pay, many are turning to side jobs and food banks to make ends meet. When Jill Hornick woke up on Monday morning, her first thought was that her timecard would be submitted that day for her job with the Social Security Administration in Chicago. But this Monday was different. The federal government was locked in a shutdown, and she received a paycheck for $0. “This is the only income I have,” she said. “And I just started crying. I had a meltdown.” Ms. Hornick, 59, is one of 730,000 federal employees working without pay because of the impasse. Another 670,000 federal workers are furloughed without pay, according to data from the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think tank. As the shutdown stretches toward its fifth week, those government employees are confronting an increasingly acute and stressful scenario. Their bills are mounting, and there is no clear resolution in sight. Some are turning to side hustles like delivering food, walking dogs and selling personal items to bring in a bit of income. Others are relying on food banks that have been hastily organized to provide federal workers and contractors with free groceries — efforts that community service providers say reflect a broadening food insecurity caused by the shutdown. |

Agree with everything you said, but I think they will open it. Trump doesn’t give an F, but there are many Republicans who are about to start getting hammered when their poor white voters lose their benefits AND their health insurance skyrockets. Interesting MTG has been the earliest to see it coming, but the others will catch on soon. |

DP - when do you think they’ll open it? Their voters will need to make the connection between voting for these d-bags and blaming them for losing benefits. I’m not sure that will happen. |

What do you not understand? They will never open again Epstein files and Project 2025 say so. This is not hard people. Repukes can open the government at anytime they will not. They told you this over and over again before you idiots gave them the SENATE & HOUSE & PRESIDENCY. They have the majority in both houses this has zero to do with Dems. They ie Repukes never have to open it and they won't. [/quote] Agree with everything you said, but I think they will open it.

What is wrong with you? Wake up it is never ending. The House does not want to seat the new dem because of the Esptein files that is it. It is the reason it is closed. Republicans have the majority in both houses they will never reopen. This is not hard to see people. Elections are coming NOV 4th they have no plans to seat any new members watch. |

What do you not understand? Ron Johnson is a traitor and a liar. Republicans will never reopen the government. They do not want to seat new members. How is this hard for you to figure out? |
