Applaud Democrats for Fighting for Pay for Federal Workers

Democrats in Congress are once again standing up for fairness, accountability, and working families. As Republicans push a bill that would let Donald Trump decide which federal workers get paid during the shutdown — picking winners and losers — Democrats are drafting their own plan to make sure every federal employee is treated with dignity and paid what they’ve earned.

Led by Senate Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Tim Kaine, this counterproposal rejects Trump’s attempt to play politics with people’s livelihoods. Instead, it ensures uniform treatment for all federal workers and troops, keeping pay decisions out of the hands of a president who’s using the shutdown as a weapon.

This is what leadership looks like — protecting public servants, standing up to partisan games, and fighting for fairness across the board.

Add your name to applaud Democrats for defending federal workers, rejecting political manipulation, and standing strong for fairness, unity, and respect.
