Do Trump and Congress still get paid during a shutdown? What to know. During a shutdown, "non-essential" government employees are furloughed without pay. But some politicians will still be taking home their salary.

www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p... That's awesome - they all get paid when TSA or EPA employees don't etc...Can we ask the RIGOP about that

Trump administration uses taxpayer dollars to blame Democrats for government shutdown Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

Once again the GOP is violating the law and it would be nice to get RIGOP members on record as why they don't think the law applies to them @wpri12.bsky.social @nbc10wjar.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/09/30/n...

So the country is about to shut down and thousands of people are going to lose their healthcare, social security and Medicare payments will slow and many people will not be paid during this furlough etc and the RIGOP chair is worried about popularity

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

I think its interesting he blames the Dems completely for Trumps return and not his own party for broken promises. I appreciate that he has called out the GOP for their poor candidates.

The real danger isn't Tylenol, it's bad information - The Boston Globe The Trump administration's claims about Tylenol and autism -- and the weak science used to support them -- must be called out for what they are: reckless, disappointing, and dangerous.

"On Tylenol and #autism, one thing is clear: There is no credible evidence that the former causes the latter. What we do know is that fear and misinformation can cause real harm."
