Today marks the second time that nearly 800,000 federal workers won’t receive their paycheck. They're being forced to choose between necessities like food, chemotherapy, or car payments or paying rent on time for the month. This shutdown is indefensible.

My brother works for the Coast Guard, is 23, has a 6-month old child, and did not qualify for all the loans conservatives think they can get. He's being forced to work, there is absolutely ZERO reason he should not get paid.

The president has tried to negotiate multiple times and you and the rest of the Democrats don't seem to care enough about these workers to get them paid, otherwise, you would be offering some compromise. If you're so concerned, give them your pay for the month..you're not working

Extreme partisan politics such as this is the downfall of this nation. Compromise and negotiation is a fundamental part of democracy.

It’s little consolation of a three week CR. It may release a bit of one kind of pressure but add another. What if people have found temp jobs? If they let them go can they get them back? Will any relief on bills immediately come due before money is in the bank?
