Senators Agree to Suspend Their Own Pay During Future Government Shutdowns

The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution Thursday to suspend senators' pay during future government shutdowns, matching penalties imposed on federal workers. Senator John Kennedy championed the measure as "shared sacrifice" after recent shutdowns left thousands unpaid. The rule takes effect after November's midterms, meaning lawmakers could still collect paychecks if another shutdown occurs before.
