Quiver AI Summary

Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) has introduced the Stop Holding Up Tax-Payers, Deny Wages on Washington’s Negligence (SHUTDOWN) Act, which aims to impose a daily tax on members of Congress during government shutdowns. He criticized Democrats, stating, "If Congress can’t do the bare minimum, we don’t deserve a paycheck."

The proposed legislation seeks to address the issue of Congress continuing to receive pay while taxpayers are affected by shutdowns, contrasting their situation with that of federal employees. The tax would apply each day that Congress is in session and a shutdown is ongoing.
