This should be huge news and of course is getting ignored. Turned out there was a vote to authorize payment to Federal Employees. And of course:
Original Story:
While most were drinking the mainstream media Kool-Aid that Republicans and President Trump are responsible for keeping paychecks out of the hands of federal employees affected by the government shutdown, a bill was brought to the House floor that would have paid them their first paycheck of 2019.
It failed. Despite six Democrats voting in favor of the bill, the Democratic majority shot it down, preventing their political pawns – the 800,000 people directly affected by the government shutdown – from getting paid. Read about it here.
Here is the roll call vote on PAYING FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
Big deal that never got reported:
Last week, House GOP voted to pay federal employees their 1st paycheck of 2019, despite shutdown. Only 6 Dems voted with us. It failed.
Dem priority is not paying workers or opening gov't. It is opposing Trump. clerk.house.gov/evs/2019/roll0…
