In a rare show of bipartisan unity, the U.S. Senate has advanced a resolution that would suspend senators' pay during government shutdowns.
The measure, sponsored by Senator John Kennedy and supported by both Republican and Democratic leaders, aims to hold lawmakers accountable when budget impasses halt federal operations. The move comes amid growing concerns about the political fallout and public frustration caused by repeated shutdowns, which have left thousands of federal workers without pay in recent years. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader John Thune have both pledged support for the resolution, signaling strong momentum for its passage.
The Senate is expected to vote on the measure soon as fears of another potential shutdown loom.
