Democrats block Republican bid to guarantee federal and military pay during shutdown

US government shutdown 2025 news

Senate Democrats have once again rejected a Republican proposal to guarantee pay for federal employees and military personnel during the ongoing government shutdown.

The measure, introduced by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, was an updated version of his “Shutdown Fairness Act,” expanded to include furloughed workers after Democrats objected to the original version.



Despite support from three Democratic senators and backing from federal employee unions, the bill failed 53–43, largely along party lines. Johnson and GOP colleagues accused Democrats of using workers as “political pawns,” while Democrats argued the bill could give the president too much discretion over who gets paid.

The rejection came amid rising tensions on Capitol Hill, where the shutdown has stretched to 38 days.

Senate Republicans had planned to reintroduce the House-passed continuing resolution to reopen the government, but a surge of Democratic unity following recent election victories has complicated negotiations.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer offered a counter-proposal linking the reopening of government to a one-year extension of Obamacare subsidies — an offer Republicans dismissed outright. The Senate is set to reconvene Saturday for yet another vote on the House measure, with little sign of compromise in sight.

  2. Schumer (…J3wi$h..!) wants the healthcare passed so that illegal migrants and foreign invaders can access taxpayer funded Obamacare. In other words, he wants to provide healthcare to America’s enemies who are already in place and ready to wage guerilla warfare on U.S. soil.
    IF this shit continues, the Military will split off into three parts, with two of those parts going full mutiny.
    What the J-6ers didn’t finish, the military and Veterans will this time around, with firearms.
    The U.S. Constirution and Declaration of Independence calls for such a current government to be ‘thrown-off’ and uprisings against the same are perfectly legal.
    MAGA was a ‘Q’ psy-ops, and Charlie Kirk’s assassination by Israel (Mossad) has now proven that the Zionist J3w$ are fomenting this division.
    In Europe, Orban and Vucic should lead an overthrow of the current E.U. regime, and boot the Bolshevik Fascists OUT of Europe, and we all know who they are…
    Then, make a deal with Russia to take the J3w$ into their J3wi$h Oblast in Siberia..

    Maybe this is where ALL of the Israeli Zionists will end-up in due course, where they can be put to work paying war reparations to the Palestinians!
    This would also be an ideal location as they are then surrounded and supervised and taxed by the nuclear weapon-equipped Russian Government, with China and it’s nuclear weapons to the south.
    This arrangement means that they will no longer be able to fuck with the world, and they can live in the environment that they created using the Red Terror inflicted on Russian Orthodox Christians who built the region to the tune of 66 million Russian Orthodox Christians dying from deliberate Genocide, Holodomor, and GULAG horrors!

    Remember- the J3w$ lament about the Nazi Koncentration Kamps and getting undressed for the ‘showers’.
    Fact- Zionist criminal J3w$ were doing the same in similar fashion 22 years earlier!

    Then, look at Palestine today, and the continuall broken ‘cease fire’ scenarios.
    Zionist J3wi$h criminality continues to this day with Western and other U.N. nations refuse to intervene.
    Could it be that the Western Leaders who have been compromised by the Mossad and J3wi$h members in the CIA and MI-6 have planted nukes in major Western cities as a form of blackmailing compliance in allowing Israel to continue it’s criminal exploits and murder?
    Hint- it won’t stop in Palestine- they are coming for the entire world!
