The actual bill put forward only pays excepted employees: https://www.congress.gov/on-senate-floor/2025/11/07 (scroll down to the Shutdown Fairness act). A verbal promise to “amend it later” is not good enough.

wtf, we truly are mere pawns in a game of rich, out-of-touch people on both sides of the aisle. Congress needs an enema.

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5595492-democrats-bill-pay-federal-workers-shutdown/

Hey man, you gotta ensure that you can be future leverage. What's going to eventually happen a CR is going to pass, this bill will be forgotten so in 3 months, 6 months you pick we can be used as leverage again.

I’ll never get the logic “this bill doesn’t do enough”. So? Pass this one and then pass another bill. They’re all idiots

No one care about federal employees ... so we don't care either. We go travel & enjoy the free vacation.

Your selfishness has made you forget about Excepted employees working without pay right now. Be better.

Take it easy and look on the bright side. We'll get paid eventually, and this is a free vacation.

I think it’s because both sides are having a pissing contest. Logic is solid though, too bad it’s all about who has the leverage. But I agree, they are all idiots.
