[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8911187, member: 683408"] That's some pretty good spin there. You forgot the part that the Dems wanted ALL Federal workers to get paid, not just the ones that the Republicans hand-picked as their favorites. "[B]Democrats were instead backing a [/B][URL='https://legislation.politicopro.com/bill/US_119_S_3039?activeTabs=overview'][B]bill[/B][/URL] from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) [B]that would pay all federal workers during the shutdown[/B] — furloughed employees, servicemembers and contractors. It also would bar the Trump administration from using “reductions in force” orders to fire workers for the duration of the funding lapse. “Republicans are hell-bent on letting Trump pick winners and losers here, but [B]every federal worker, servicemember, and federal contractor deserves to get paid,” Van Hollen said in a statement Thursday. Democrats asked for unanimous consent Thursday to pass their proposal[/B] on the Senate floor, which Van Hollen introduced less than an hour before the scheduled vote on Johnson’s bill. [B]That effort was blocked by Republicans[/B]." "[B]Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) also sought unanimous consent approval for his own federal employee pay bill, that would have provided a one-time appropriation to pay servicemembers, federal employees and contractors[/B] missing paychecks during the shutdown. [B]His request was also defeated by Republicans. [/B]He and Van Hollen supported each other’s bills." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/10/23/congress/senate-rejects-pay-plan-for-some-federal-workers-00620433[/URL] Isn't it interesting what the WHOLE story tells, and not just the right-wing spin? And, can you explain the correlation between you not having the right to tell a woman what she can do with her own body, and Republicans refusing to help Federal workers get paid during the shutdown? I really can't see the connection, there. [/QUOTE]
