Federal contractors—including custodial & food service workers—are being screwed by this Republican shutdown. And unlike federal employees, they have no assurance they'll receive backpay when Republicans reopen the govt. Our bill would ensure these workers are not left behind.

@RepPressley Shutdowns happen when Democrats prioritize handouts over citizens. Your bill claims to help low-wage contractors but ignores the real issue—every Dem "clarification" creates loopholes for benefits creep. The Fair Pay Act’s $1,442 weekly cap? That’s 250% of poverty level—ripe for

@RepPressley How about spend your time on asking your Senate colleagues to vote to accept the CR? Problem solved. Kicking the can down the road is counter productive. No?

@RepPressley Federal contractors are being screwed by the Democrats who caused the shut down. You either know this and are deliberately deceiving people, which makes you evil and corrupt, or you are too stupid and actually believe this which makes you incompetent and moronic! Either way, you

@RepPressley Don’t think so Ayanna….. Folks here are just a few highlights of what Democrats are voting FOR by not passing a clean CR: passing out pink slips instead of paychecks - they knew very well cuts would have to be made but chose to ignore it. How do I know that, because they

@RepPressley Even Jake Tapper on CNN reports that the Democrats are to blame for this shutdown. Republicans offered a clean CR of Biden spending levels minus 13 billion, you all are trying to extort an extra 1.6 Trillion before you agree to reopen the government.

And here it is: This is exactly why the Democrats have shut down the U.S. government: One of the most shocking whistleblowers in the history of whistleblowing: Whistleblower inside the Biden–Kamala administration: “I couldn’t believe that we were giving these people Social

@RepPressley First of all food service is not an invisible workforce. When I was a restaurant manager I would get taken care of everywhere I went because I was recognized. No one is going to take your bill seriously because the government is shut down.
