“260,000 Workers Unpaid And We’re Playing Games?!”: John Kennedy

John Kennedy exploded on the Senate floor, blasting lawmakers for blocking his proposal to pause senator pay during the federal shutdown. “They’re NOT being paid because of OUR conduct!” Kennedy said, pointing to 260,000 federal workers going without paychecks. Calling the situation “LA-LA LAND,” he urged Congress to “share their sacrifice” slamming colleagues for objecting while Americans struggle financially.
