Paying employees through a shutdown is smart politics—nobody wins with burnt-out government workers.

No more holding paychecks hostage—this is basic fairness, not a budget negotiation tactic.

So now Congress wants to keep paying people even while they play shutdown games? That’s rewarding dysfunction.

Protecting workers in a shutdown? About time Congress remembered who keeps this country running.
