President Trump is once again putting politics ahead of the public good and hurting working families with his decision to shut down our government. This is not a game; it has real world consequences. By insisting on an ineffective border wall instead of accepting a reasonable bipartisan funding compromise, the President will force hundreds of thousands of families to go without pay over the holidays and create even more unnecessary economic uncertainty. We are a nation with incredible potential, being limited by our political dysfunction. I urge President Trump and my Republican colleagues to do their duty and end to this self-created crisis. Background: As he did during previous federal government shutdowns, Schneider will return his salary to the U.S. Treasury until funding is restored. He is also a co-sponsor of H.R. 1794, the Hold Congress Accountable Act, which would ensure Members of Congress are not paid during a government shutdown. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
