‘I am like the terminator, I will be back’: Kennedy ADAMANT to block senators’ pay over DHS shutdown

Sen. John Kennedy sparks a political firestorm, demanding senators’ pay be blocked during the ongoing DHS shutdown. The crisis has left thousands of federal workers, including TSA agents, unpaid for weeks amid a deep Congress funding deadlock. Kennedy argues lawmakers should not be paid while DHS employees suffer, calling for “fairness” in Washington. His proposal was blocked by the Democrats, intensifying the clash between Republicans and Democrats over funding priorities. With the shutdown becoming one of the longest in U.S. history, the debate over accountability and government spending is heating up.
