Could you imagine.... elected officials in DC actually doing the work they were sent there to do.... that would be novel... a budget getting passed in September rather than emergency continuation bills that fund for a few months to rinse and repeat. We spend so much time negotiating continuation bills that no time is spent on running the nation.
I can definitely stand with Joni and Dan... I hope this gets passed!

Great bill. Senator Joni Ernst and congressman Dan Crenshaw from Texas, are on the same page. Both are combat veterans. Ex- SEAL Crenshaw has proposed that no members of congress get paid during the shutdown. And he's followed it up with refusing to accept his paycheck during the shutdown. Imagine that, not only would members of congress have to remain session, be allowed no recess but they'd also forfeit their pay. I'm thinking we'd have finding for the wall in short order.
