Senate moves to withhold lawmakers' pay in future shutdowns

The Senate approved a resolution to bar its members from receiving pay during future government shutdowns, a move pushed by Sen. John Kennedy in response to two recent shutdowns (a 43-day federal shutdown in 2025 and a 76-day Homeland Security shutdown earlier this year). The measure, which passed by voice vote and would take effect in November after the midterms, does not require House approval or the president and is considered binding only on senators. Some lawmakers questioned its constitutionality, though Kennedy argues it’s not unconstitutional, and Senate leaders like Chuck Schumer expressed support while it remains unclear whether the House would adopt a similar pay-withholding rule.

Senate approves pay forfeiture for lawmakers during shutdowns

The Senate unanimously approved a resolution to withhold senators’ pay during government shutdowns, to be executed by the secretary of the Senate and released once funding is restored; the measure, sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy, would take effect after the November 3 election and would apply only to the Senate, not the House, amid concerns about the financial hardship faced by federal workers during closures.

NFL, NFLRA Strike Seven-Year Pact to Elevate Pay, Training, and On-Field Standards

After a March stalemate, the NFL and NFLRA approved a seven-year CBA (through the 2032 season, expiring May 31, 2033) following a Dallas summit where owners signaled willingness to invest in accountability. The deal, approved 116–4 in a 120-ballot vote, boosts base pay for regular-season and playoff games and training camp; improves retirement and international travel; keeps new officials at a three-year probation with early outs for exceptional performers; shortens the dead period to May 1 for lower-tier officials; and creates a 10-official bench (six backups guaranteed regular-season games; four apprentice college officials from the Mackie Development Program) to raise officiating quality and avoid past controversies like the Fail Mary.

Trump Trans Ban Traps Troops in Paid Idle Time as Pentagon Delays Decisions

The Trump-era ban on transgender service members has left many highly trained personnel on paid leave for nearly a year while the Pentagon works out who can stay in uniform, pulling doctors, pilots, investigators, and a nuclear reactor supervisor off duty and still on the Defense Department’s books—paid but with no active work to do.

Gunzilla CEO Vlad Korolev pushed back on reports that the studio owed staff pay, saying only contractors faced delays to avoid disrupting operations and that full-time salaries hadn’t been delayed for years; he attacked critics as haters, defended ongoing crunch as necessary to deliver a project on the scale of Call of Duty, boasted about Off the Grid’s growth, and even floated access to player data for 100k GUN cryptocurrency, a claim juxtaposed with former employees’ reports of back pay and Off the Grid’s Steam peak of under 20,000 concurrent players.

DHS Shutdown Triggers TSA Pay Freeze and Airport Backlogs

Democrats’ continuing DHS shutdown is blamed for TSA officers working without pay for the third time in six months, contributing to higher callouts and staff attrition that officials say is shrinking TSA’s ability to screen travelers. Officials cite spikes in callouts at several airports (e.g., up to 55% at Houston Hobby) and the departure of 366 TSA officers, with replacements needing 4–6 months to train. Critics urge immediate reopening of DHS and restoration of TSA funding to prevent longer lines and disruption to travel.
