pdxcubfan This is complete and utter BS. washingtonpost is owned by liberal JeffBezos. What do you expect from a rag like that
I can't wait until his big orange self is ruthlessly pulled down like the ancient Romans!
I just saw this & I'm speechless! Does everyone know about this? The Republicans are pilfering & fleecing Americans while we get disgusted & overwhelmed!
Good
Only in America!
JoyAnnReid That shows out of touch this administration is.
BuildTheWall LEGALimmigration
Trump should find a way to build the wall, without Chuck and Nancy, So we can open the government back up, and end it all. This will prove that their Trump-hating resistence is more important to them than their own suffering government workers.
This is what his base voted for. Again we the majority will sit, watch, complain and do nothing.
My husband is a sub-contractor (IT GURU, 30+ yrs of loyalty & dedication)...he “might get a 2% raise”. While those in “high places” shall we say, keep sweeping in the perks, bonuses and I’m going to say allegedly spoils of doing personal business with “other” countries!!! Why?!
So what? Nobody cares. I sure don't.
Twitter needs a 'broken heart/dislike'...
JulieLeto They must feel pretty good!
How very Christian of Mr. VP and the others, to give themselves a bigger pay raise than the total salary of some workers, while so many federal employees are getting no pay due to the TrumpShutdown and once their pay is reinstated will have NO 2019 raises, as had been promised.
What a shame!!!!!! What are they doing to deserve such a generous bonus? Have not seen/heard much from Pence. I guess he is flying under the radar. People who do otherwise tend to disappear in the Trump adm. Pence is staying employed.
That's his speed.
The actual post
That's is a crying shame.
JoyAnnReid No raises until government's open besides they should earn their raises ,what did they do to earn them? Pence naps during Trump's meetings that deserves a raise I suppose. SMH !
Despicable POSs
gop - mmmmmmmmm. But this seems to be how you like your business handled. Workers suffer - Executives get raises. If you think too hard about this - they just shout “build a wall”. To keep you in line.....
I think this makes it acceptable to hurl foul language at Drump and company.
Federal employees, which include active duty military, both at home and deployed; many of which have families at home with no other source of income. This goes far beyond disgraceful to downright criminal.
Criminal TrumpShutDown
This pay increase is happening bc Congress isn’t doing their job. Instead of partisan fight over border security they should be doing their jobs & protecting us, their employer!!!
Space_Damien Well the mother fu..kers that don’t want to cooperate with the president are causing it .
VP does not deserve a raise when the government is shut down. I’m in favor of $10,000 penalties. TrumpShutdown
JoyAnnReid The Federal work should walk off their jobs if they don't get paid all federal worker see what trump say then about his wall that Mexico was to pay for
And Mueller and his team? Are they and dems getting paid?
Absolutely unconscionable.
White House holding the pay raise for top federal executives, didn’t want to look bad!😳yet, Federal workers will not get a raise this year, due to the budget! Ok, explain how this looks good! This is our America today!💰🇺🇸
basicwhiteM0m Of course - this just demonstrates that Republicans take care of the wealthy white and leave everyone else behind. How people don’t see it is the 8th wonder of the world.
True Government Americans workers would decline. They don’t care people on SNAP don’t eat. Heck some of these people seeking assistance will be those furloughed. Dumpy Trumpy needs to write an IOU to every furloughed worker bill collector.
Me Vice President and Trump-ets what have you done to deserve such a raise? Are you going to give over your salary to help those affected by the shutdown?... of course you won’t!
This is an outrage!
THATS GREAT
Despicable
Bad OPTICS!
MAGA you got your utility bills paid yet?!
federalemployees strike beginning at sunrise tomorrow!! Strike until the government is back open and no raises for WhiteHouse and criminal administration! realDonaldTrump
They are Gov’t employees & should receive anything!!!
This is unacceptable! No pay for current workers! No raises for those not being paid, and yet they get raises of Almost what a military member makes in a year?!?! Time for priorities to be clear!

All you a-holes who worship at the heel of Washington compost are deluded..sadly educated (what waste) and live in a bubble of pure belief that POTUS is corrupt. Take ur collective heads out of your asses and take a look around. Listen to what they do..not what they say.
And don't forget Trump froze pay increases for federal employees.
Despicable
JoyAnnReid Stop their pay too.
Watch President Donald J Trump donate his next paycheck, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next..........
hope you guys hound trump and pence as ruthlessly about this as you did about someone swearing
Stop their raises that is insane!
Let’s talk about Congressional salaries!
Oh, you mean the whole game is rigged? You don't say. Nice piece on Whelan. You convinced me the man is a spy. Let the Russians feast on him. The Post. Man I used to love the Post. So sad to learn the truth about mass media. All of it.
No words, this is just plain wrong but suck it up you voted him in and probably will again in 2020 , feel sorry for you ...
JoyAnnReid Republicans are America's greatest threat they are ripping off the American people while destroying our democracy.
Good for them.
Once again... take it up with Shumer and Pelosi !
Useless, absolutely useless.
What, for the great job they've done or it is putin handing out his chrstmas bonuses?
DamionHitchcock TSA can end the shutdown even faster with a TSAWalkout and would help force TrumpResign or ImpeachTheMF
All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian - Pat Paulsen
This is what realDonaldTrump thinks of Americans, he hates the USA! His ONLY GOALS, are to sow division, divide and weaken Country from within, spread wealth to his cronies (who gets the wall money?), and bankrupt us. Most un-American potus EVER! TrumpTreason TrumpResign
This ought to do it for Republicans, they have Wall Street & mega Corporations 2 Trillion & Trump put a FREEZE on all Federal employee wages. Along with a Shut down!! Seriously this requires OUTRAGE & intolerance! Enough is enough! I have seen millions show up to rally, NOW ?
Rich get richer and the rest get screwed.
MSchroeder77 It reminds me Congress still getting paid while the govt is shutdown. Neither one should be happening.
We will remember this. This attitude of disregard didn’t work out so well for Marie Antoinette.
GingerResists 😤 😠 😡
Then maybe dems need to vote on border security place blame correctly. SchumerPelosiOpenBordersShutdown
Well.....of course they did.
LOL. WE'RE A JOKE
NOT TRUE! - The Office of Personal Management (OPM) has all in a HOLD Status. CHECK YOUR FACTS FIRST BEFORE YOU PUT OUT LIES TO THE PEOPLE.
In order to 'Put the country on stable financial footing' they should forgo their raises. The rank and file federal worker had to, why can't those in a leadership position lead by example? Sorry, forgot I'm talking about Trump Kakistocracy here.
Betrayal
Again, the administration proved to be corrupt and only self serving. IMPEACH them all. realDonaldTrump VP
Why do they have the ability to give themselves a raise? Why can't the people VOTE to give their raises based on performance evaluations of the people of the US?
Ridiculous...
This was Donald Trump intentions all along, it's not about the wall. It's about fraudulent activity, that he committed in the past. It's all about the money and robbing Americans and hard-working federal workers to fulfill his greed. Now the taxpayers have to pick up his tab.
This raise would amount to over 25% of the salary of most of the furloughed employees who actually keep the government functioning not these lobbyists and lapdogs.Congress freeze this raise.
Is that biweekly🤔
Hello America. Not a cent for your orange haired orangutan Donald Trump's Vice President Pence and other Donald Trump appointees at an amoral, corrupt, serial bribery scam cooked up by Donald Trump in exchange for their total and dog like obedience to Trump.
Freeze all federal workers pay and give your people a 10K raiseimpeach the mother F***
Tone deaf.
Impeach & Indict the orange haired orangutan Donald Trump while Donald Trump & his Cultist Extremist Republicans are at their weakest. Donald Trump's crimes are not what President Bill Clinton was accused of. Trump's are High Crimes & Misdemeanors. BC not.
JoyAnnReid For what?
10th paragraph: 'Trump still working for free, however'
This is while Trump froze Federal workers pay for 2019.
Our Congress is getting paid!
OMGoodness! You want cheese with that wine. With all that is wasted in Washington, 10,000 is nothing. Keep digging to support your agenda, which is obvious.
thekatmit Trump donates his salary how about Trudeau?
More poof they don't work for us. Time to out these crooks and change the rules so this can never happen again.
ImpeachTheMF
They should all be tarred and feathered! Immediately.
Not only do they go without pay, they have had their 2019 pay increases frozen by the president while administrators get theirs. How is this right? Soooooo sad!!
No wonder right wingers are obsessed w/AOC. Pay raises during a shut down & tax scams make it obvious the system is rigged. GOP response is support wealthy donors at the expense of workers instead of making a coherent argument for market based policies benefiting working people.
Pence deserves a raise. Dealing with the demos. Is hard work.
foxandfriends JedediahBila PeteHegseth & edhenry : This is just plain unacceptable while The Government is shutdown!!
Are you flippin serious
JennaLeeTV End the shutdown now
stop this raise and all their pay tell this is over
Poor you! Trump donates his salary. If not you would have killed him for it. It's not Trump doing by the way.
MaddowBlog They are an absolute disgrace.
And the Trump base loves it as they starve
Yes, this seems on par for this administration.
If the Democrats would help protect the U.S. border, the government wouldn't be shut down. oathbreakers
NewsCorpse realDonaldTrump Because that seems fair and right......not.
Senators an Congress still get paid too!!!
This occurred because of the shutdown. So thank Chuck and Nancy
Because Trump STILL sees himself and his cronies as above the law - exempt from the suffering the rest of us must endure under Trump's administration.
StopPayingTaxes ... No Government = No Taxes
This article proves that Donald Trump and the GOP are only concerned about lining their pockets, not the American people.
Is this true?
CuomoPrimeTime please get a trump backer to justify this
Carpetbaggers with no desire to drain the swamp!!
Since the government is shut down there should be no raises and no paychecks.
Wow, headline painted diffrnt pic in my mind. Glad I read whole article. When lawmakers failed to pass bills Dec. 21 to fund multiple federal agencies, an existing pay freeze lapsed. It was unclear whether the White House had the authority to stop the increases.
Everyone gets back pay when the shut down is over
☯️☯️👑☯️☯️
JoyAnnReid Shhh, listen. Did one of them say 'Let them eat cake!'?
TheSoulCab More FakeNews, next u will show children starving more DNC propaganda with the only weapon u have EmotionalManipulation b/c the Truth is not on ur side. The is discrediting itself w/o truthful facts on both sides of issue.
Time to pull stop all Cabinet pay and revoke any all raises!!! While GOV is shutdown
Well DO something!
Tell Trump and administration to donate that $ to the building of the wall not a wall.
They deserve the raise they have done so many great things for this country.
WTF
TheCarlWeathers Certainly you are the defiant one Carl.
It’s the 2019 version of “Let them eat cake!” We all remember how that worked out for Marie—right?
susanaluvs2read They say the increase is going to attract strong(er) candidates to these positions, it is suggested that they are underpaid.
SO WRONG! Give back!
Because Pence has done so much good work leaning in his chair silently, like the weathered garden ornament you forgot you had.
HILLARY DIDNT WIN! I CANT BREATH! PANIC EVERYONE PANIC ! THE SKY IS FALLING! IF I CANT HAVE MY PICK ....YOU DIE

GovJVentura Good. At least 90% of government won’t get paid. I’m fine with that.
Wake up America.
Top_Sergeant Welcome to govt work. I had a boss that cut ALL of our salaries 25% and swore it was affecting everyone. I left and found out later he got a 25% raise for lowering expenses 25%. He thinks he’s playing this game... been there, done that.

Is this not fake news?
Beyond that, he has frozen Fed employee salaries for 2019. I guess Trump appointees aren't Fed employees, huh
Insanity
I bet Deplorables are laughing like hell!
All WH reporters should be asking WHY these clowns are getting a raise Acosta AprilDRyan Yamiche PeterAlexander KateBennett_DC KellyO
Swampy!
He’s doing that out of spite! He’s sick in the head! Playing games with peoples lives. He sure freely giving away taxpayers money like he put us to debt with his tax scam!
JoyAnnReid Those supporting the wall, please look at a map of North America and advise as to where the wall will start and end. Will FL’s Gulf Coast & CA coastline be included? geography
What kind of sense does that make besides none at all?
Timely, I wonder where they're getting the money from could it be the money they're not paying federal workers?
Very PUT1N-esque.
Of course
If some pay is frozen, all pay should be frozen. Trump's people should have their pay frozen. Families can't pay their bills due to Trumps temper tantrum. Trump is incapable of running this country. He has no idea what he's doing. ImpeachTrump
Sounds about right winning
So, veterans who served, fought, injured & died for our Country gets at 2.8% cola bump, but lying, good for nothing Senior CorruptGOP Trump Hypocrites gets a 10k+ raise? WTF is WRONG w/this PICTURE?! 🤬🤬🤬🖕
JoyAnnReid Isn't this the logical extension of the tax cut for the rich? Isn't this true spirit of capitalism which we boast, and disdain any deviance from it? How should we expect it to work out differently for the federal government? So what's the big deal here? Money talks.
Is Mar-a-Lago closed during the TrumpShutdown too?
Please tell me this isn’t true.
And you know, not true. All federal employees are getting a raise, all federal employees will be paid, the $10,000 is annual raise. This kind of distortion is one reason people don't believe the media.
Terrible.
Democrats can end shutdown by funding the wall. Show you care about America and fund the wall.
JoyAnnReid
JillWineBanks MalcolmNance It is OUTRAGEOUS! When those that lose their home or go without food due to the shutdown, it’s time to put those people/families in rooms in the WH, Congress, and any other government building and FEED them all!! PERIOD!!!
morgandollar Federal workers not being paid? Well, then, let them eat cake. 🙄
How can they get a raise if he government is shut down? Who approved funding?
I'm knitting a list...
JoyAnnReid Who just gets a 10000 pay increase?
Good! Great JobsReport, and those so called poor federal workers will get back pay they always do. So cry me a river.
I am not buying it- fake news. Wait but Pelosi was vacationing in Hawaii while Americans are getting no pay
And Trump canceled pay raises for Federal workers but Pence and others who already make the highest pay get raises? We got money for them This is really starting to piss me off!!!
This is infuriating, gross and shameful. How are they getting away with this robbery on Americans right in front of our faces while they profit!
buckeyecowdoc They did that to the Dems look bad. C'mon Nancy don't wait too long to trap that orange rodent.
what the actual fuck. Not even in the dramatic way just like what.
prchovanec GOP wow... just wow
JoyAnnReid All Congress gets Paid Joy. Quit using American Security & OUR lives as a bargaining chip for your anti-Trump hysteria, fund Border like Dems HAD already!
HCiavotto And when they do get paid Trump declared a wage freeze for federal employees, nice right? Is he human?
There was also enough money for Melania to travel back and forth (two times) to Maralago during the holidays. Parties were also thrown. Just wondering who paid for all of that!
JoyAnnReid How much will it take to get people in the streets?
How is this even possible?
JoyAnnReid SMH
Come on 10k means nothing to these folks. What’s the big fuss.
As usual Trump doesn't pay employees or threatens (and did) Bankruptcy... How America fell for this thumb sucker whose Daddy never said No will eventually Shame America....
Someone tell these clowns that 'public service' means that they serve the public, not the other way around.
Hush money?
One more chapter of 'the fleecing of America'...Trump style!
TrumpShutdown Hypocrites
The 800,000 federal employees enduring the TrumpShutdown without pay need to read this. Saddened at so many ShutdownStories of hardship they're experiencing, how it's affecting their lives, and that Trump threw them under the bus for his stupid wall. NoBorderWall TrumpResign
Appalling!
The conclusion here is predictable. With TSA agents now refusing to work and potential delays in food stamps and tax refunds, people WILL march to White House if Trump Shutdown goes on much longer. You mess with people’s travel, food, and money and it will turn into a shitshow.
This isn't true
JoyAnnReid Wonder how these federal workers feel about this? Any of you out there have any say? POTUS just said in effect that you love it and agree with him not paying you. Comments please.
JoyAnnReid Maybe those employees have been exceptional for years and denied just raises for years. And they are sooooo good at what they do, they deserve they annual increase. ANNUAL!! Not monthly.
JoyAnnReid Sucks
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
Well i do hope this is tweeted or broadcasted over Sinclair Media so his base, esp the farmers, coal folk, GM / factory workers and all else are aware.
JoyAnnReid This after Trump announced a pay freeze.
Yes and 312,000 new jobs in December thanks to Trump. The losers? Anyone trusting Pelosi. DACA is on the table and gov’t jobs . She doesn’t care. Everyone is winning but her and her followers. I hope he declares a state of emergency and does the wall without them.They get nothing
ffs... Do you want communists? Because this is how you get communists
I’ll be different and say this won’t get us anywhere. Trump doesn’t care and will suspend these raises now that they are in the public eye. He steals much more than 10k daily, and couldn’t give a rats ass about anyone else’s salary.
As authorized by Congress.
Trump donates his pay and Pence didn’t accept it. Try some actual reporting. It might salvage your reputation.
How can this be? Aren't salaries set by the House?
They should be forced by law to also work without pay during a shutdown of the federal government.
🤬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬....because I can’t say what I really want to say!!!!
JoyAnnReid Thieves
JoyAnnReid bashtrumpmedia silly
JoyAnnReid This is appalling!
TrumpPOS
Pence said he would NOT take a raise
JoyAnnReid I’ve a reoccurring dream. America is at a garden party. There’s a punch bowl with a large cigar shaped object floating at its center. We suspect what it is but we’re all too horrified to actually say the word. But yet we keep drinking from that bowl. Strange, huh, Americans?
Don’t forget that Trump froze the pay for all Federal employees in 2019 as a cost savings idea. If the rank-in-file is taking a pay freeze shouldn’t the top brass have to suffer through the same pay freeze?
SamuelG93530619 Now Trump wants to call his TrumpShutdown a strike. He seems oblivious of the differences in the 2 words, but I know that he's saying this to deflect blame onto the 800,000 unpaid gov't employees to appease his base. DonTheCon you're such a fool. impeachtheMF trumpresign

Disgusting Administration should not be getting a paycheck either! They are swamp creatures; they swore an oath to serve their country & that means “We The People “ . They need to suffer in direct proportion to the misery they are creating for the layed off government employees.

JoyAnnReid Despicable, disgusting people. As an atheist this makes me so hope I'm wrong and there is a special hell for these pieces of human excrements...
JoyAnnReid Trump claimed that Pence and the appointees don't know about the raise. He also said he might ask them to hold off on the raises. I suspect they know and he probably will let them get their raises.

Well we let them- all this could stop in a month if just 10% of every American walked out, protested , marched on Washington-like the French- but it wont 4 some reason and itll get worse-and people will just bitch
Some more shit to rub in everybodys faces.
This is just too much.
l95837552 On all honesty, they probably deserve a raise. Not money though; the national middle finger! 🖕
They get a 10,000 dollar raise, while others don't get paid at all. Makes no sense
Republicans are disgusting.
Just disgusting. Shameless.
Fake News! Most of his cabinet works for free! FAKE NEWS
MaddowBlog Don’t understand why Pence is getting a raise, he does absolutely nothing other than look lovingly at Trump. But it makes sense for the appointees as part of their incentive package to kiss up to Trump.
Disgusting!!
Of course the traitor republican criminals in the Donald regime find a way to steal from the poor and give to the rich!
W. T. F.
MaddowBlog Let people vote on raises for politicians.
This is a joke, right?
No one should be paid, President, VP or Congress until other federal workers are paid
And Congress gets paid for failing to do their jobs while federal employees await a paycheck.
Timing on this could not be worse.Rethink it.
How many of them are donating their salaries during TrumpShutdown ?
LindaHale8006 Sounds like more fake news.
In any other country the palace would have been stormed by now.

Didn't realDonaldTrump cancel the scheduled raise for federal workers and eliminate location based cost of living pay? This is truly despicable.
All he is doing making his own people more money he doesn’t care about anyone besides himself and rich friends this shutdown was so he could take money and give it to own his people
This is just appalling.
GovJVentura How much do they get paid know help the homeless know
Make sure you let us know when Trump tells his cabinet not to take it like he said he would. We won't hold our breath though
GovJVentura You are truly the pinnacle of fake news
I slept well one night, anyway.
Wtf?
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO They are also gov't employees so no paychecks and no raise.
None of them should be paid House or the Senate. Until this Fiasco is over.
Great timing. What would Jamal Khashoggi say?
In a federal shut down our top officials should not be getting any pay. It is disgusting that the top officials in our nation are about to get a raise! Everyone of them getting a raise should donate every bit of it to a homeless shelter or women's shelter.

The central point about the wall & its funding is still the old saying “show me a man with a 10 foot wall & I will show you a man with an 11 foot ladder. Neither the great wall of China or the walls of Jericho wr ultimately successful. Modern walls will end up being no different.

Good. Hard workers who are actually doing their job SHOULD get raises. Non-essential nothings just collecting paychecks need to check their ego. That's how this works.
deb7519 Yeah, while he pisses on America.
VP is horrendously OVERPAID as his only job is a statue

Interesting, WaPo never digs into leftist democrats actions for matters such as this. For example, Dems approved 7 billion for abortions overseas in other countries. Wonder why WaPo didn’t report that. It’s OK we know why!
Oh. So when li’l Donnie said we’d all be winning he just meant his cronies.
10 Senate Democrats refused to vote yes on a funding bill before the Holidays thus forcing the gov't shutdown. That's a fact. House passed it , Trump agreed to sign it and all Repub senators agreed to vote yes but needed 4 Senate dems to vote yes , they refused , forcing shtdn
Why is that old turtle McConnell getting paid anything at all, considering he refuses to introduce funding bills to the Senate floor?
That’s the republican way.
How does one say? FakeNews
Honorable kamikaze pilots, today you have dangerous mission. You take kamikaze airplane high in sky, find Yankee aircraft carrier, divebomb it, crash on deck, killing yourself and all aboard. Any questions? McConnell? 'Honorable General Trump - Are you out of your f***ing mind?'
Without a doubt Trump take his 10k... how about they donate it to the furloughed workers?
Thieves.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬GOP
NoRaises NoShutdownRaises
It’s because they don’t care about the workers. Not only should they not get raises, they shouldn’t get paid either. They need to do their job, run the government!
MaddowBlog Well don’t forget to add that they donate their payrolls.
We'll see......I seriously doubt it would happen. A lot of things were 'supposed,' to happen but thankfully realDonaldTrump stepped in and stopped some of the madness.
The hypocrisy has no limit. There is no bottom to the standards. GOP has sold out. No values whatsoever.
SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer Trump, Pence, and everyone receiving this raise is, IMO, stealing money from American taxpayers. They don’t deserve a raise fir destroying America, and also shutting down the government & keeping federal workers & more from being paid. Selfish.
If true, this sends a terrible message to the American people! realDonaldTrump
WTF
Do not accept. You haven’t earned it
No wonder trump and trump appointees seem fine with a shutdown lasting months or years
Yup just like you would expect
Hey hes doing more to destroy this country than all the other politicians. He deserves that raise
File this under Gall, Unmitigated. Also Malpractice, Political. ImpeachTheMF
So much winning. I’m getting tired of winning.
realDonaldTrump GOP you should be a shame yet here we have the TrumpShutdown people working and not getting paid.
A pay freeze for all federal workers for all of 2019, but the swamp gets a raise. SMH.
CAN ANYONE SEE HIS WALL AS BEING THE BIG DIVERSION FOR ALL THE CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICA PEOPLE AND OUR GOVERNMENT..WAKE UP PPL..
The politicians should have their pay revoked
So do your job and vote for the wall! Of course a swamp creature like you will get paid, funny you don’t mention that!😱
Until 800,000 gov't workers get their paychecks and the shutdown ends, Pence and top DJT appointees should not get their $10,000 raises tomorrow!!
I so, traitor tot and his accomplices are going to pay themselves more while federal workers go unpaid. That's evil at work.

On Dec 28, Trump signed an EO freezing pay for federal workers. So how can these $10K raises go through?
I have Les Miserables songs bouncing through my head after reading that. What a cluster of bleep words America is right now. ResignAlready
That damn 1% again.
Fuckery in its most simplistic form. AprilDRyan ask SHS about this one...
Hypocrites.
PreetBharara This. Is. Nuts.
Congratulations on your raise, VP
In all fairness these people need the money to pay for their lawyers.
What a load of BS. How are some people not seeing that Trump is the problem? He is the swamp? He only cares about himself? He is a criminal? He is a cheat? He is a misogynist? He's a racist? How did people not see this?
So not only did they freeze federal worker raises, they’re receiving theirs.
Trump and top appointees either don’t take a salary or donate 100%
And more reasons to know this White House doesn’t care about American workers. They prove it all the time!
This is outrageous................
More disgraceful things from this White House!
Resist___45
It's time for the federal workers to start protesting in front of the White House about this.
So, federal workers aren't getting paid, Trump freezes pay for 2019 for federal workers, but gives raises to his cabinet?
Mutherfuckers
How to kick federal workers when they're down. Absolutely shameful.
POTUS freezes salaries for government workers & shuts down the government. Now VP and others get $10,000 raises. So much about realDonaldTrump is WRONG. SenSchumer maddow SpeakerPelosi GOP GOPLeader RepAdamSchiff SenBlumenthal BrianKarem mrbromwich Lawrence
PressSec do you have anything to say about this.
Trump oughta send $10k to every American adult. He won't buy my vote. But I sure could use the help. Lol
Did you see Pence in the meeting with Nancy, Chuck and Donald? The man is basically a sleeping statue. Why are we giving him a $10,000 raise? The only thing I’ve seen him do is campaign for Republicans.
quite the swamp at The Office these days
This administration has absolutely no shame. Disgusting.
MaddowBlog Pence & top officials should be forced to pay the federal workers that are not being! And they deserve $0.00 nothing!
SF_Bud Of course there getting a raise it’s all about the GRIFT!
Seriously?
Wait! Aren't they Federal workers too? How are they getting their paychecks?

Here is an article I wrote for about a wage freeze Trump put in place starting January 1.
JoaquinCastrotx While he ordered a PAY FREEZE on Federal workers, billionaires in his Cabinet, etc will get massive raises
Impeach Trump now! He is a cruel dictator and an abuser of the American people. The very idea that he and his dictator friends get a raise when others starve should be against the law. Arrest them!
USA suckers stand and salute comrades. Omg that country has unraveled.

Remind me how much pay that Trump has kept since he’s been in office?
Real nice. 🐷
PreetBharara When is someone going to put an end to this madness?
And, on top of everything realDonaldTrump has eliminated the scheduled 2% pay raise for federal employees.
MaddowBlog We need to restore LAW & ORDER to America. WE HAVE A CRIME BOSS & CRIME FAMILY RUNNING OUR COUNTRY. Every day all day long we the American people & every Democrat politician & the honest media should be saying this & giving examples—there are many! Repeat, repeat people PLEASE!
Dems continue to bloviate about the same shit that happened in the Obama years.
Pure and utter BS that they are getting ANY money.
It says right there in the article that this is because of congressional action in 2013, but y’all just read the headline and bash Trump, who literally has nothing to do with the pay raise. Good job kids
Not surprised this is the way the Trump adm functions.

Iseerealtrump America... are you calling your Senators (202) 224-3121/Reps (202)225-3121? This ego wall was pledged to have been paid for by Mexico. Now he closes down America to arm wrestle the funds out of our citizens. Call for the removal of the Senate Majority Leader!
Preposterous
That is what you can call very low, just getting to the point, human being citizens of the United States have to suffer.
We Aren't Being Paid for the last 2 weeks of work. Essential workers had to cancel any planned vacation days and cannot even take sick leave during the shutdown. Pay freeze for 2019 & No COLA increase this year. Just great 😡
I guess some people are winning
Republicans appear to be completely tone deaf
Not surprising.
Wow. Incredibly bad optics... Wouldn't be surprised if we hear a reversal in a few hours just so they can save face.
Hey gop voters, tired of all this ‘winning’ yet?
Disgusting.
What The white male entitlement, outright corruption marches on...
The same old story the well off continue to reap the biggest benefits of dollars compared to working families who get pennies. Start taxing investment income for cvx those living off it at the same payroll tax rate. Why is work taxed at a higher rate?

PreetBharara ah yes, truly the party of the people.
All this swamp-draining is getting expensive.
Sad
PreetBharara Rich get Richer! Trump's way!
Well, he’s already eliminated raises for federal workers, so...
MiaFarrow no raises for politicans, they should be taking 20% pay cuts...
What is sadder - That Pence is so shameless as to raise his own pay while Americans suffer a shutdown, or that in an age of unprecedented Republican rapacity he's willing to settle for a mere $10G? VP shutdown2018
IBexWeBex That houseofcards theme song singing in my head again
This is the kind of stuff that will make people want to march on the white house.
No class. 👎🏼
And the wages of federal workers have been frozen so no increases for them. TRUMP SHUTDOWN
Shame, and disgraceful if true.
What 🐂💩is this?!
williamlegate No! Y'all should be going without pay and raises too!!!
And a pay freeze is in affect, signed by Trump
MaddowBlog WP hates America.
But yes, let's get at the mom trying to feed her kids on $1.40 in food stamps
Outrageous!
MaddowBlog Can someone explain to me why your streets arent full of Americans protesting this tyrant.Initially you were outraged by him, now its like you are zombies without any need to get out there screaming, yelling and marching before you are living a nightmare.
Read the entire story and not just the headline. This happened because of the shut down. As the story reads, this was an unintended action caused but congress and the president not compromising.
How disgusting!! People have mortgages to pay, bills to pay, food for their children! How disgraceful!!
MaddowBlog This is a shocking development which has caught me completely unprepa... Wait, this is *exactly* the sort of self-serving F.U. I would expect from this criminal administration.
JeffersonObama Gross.
Where is Nancy and Chuckie? Didn't Nancy adjourn yesterday?
MaddowBlog But yet Trump followers will find some way to justify this behavior! Pitiful!!!
Nor a raise either for 2019.
Real shame the Schumershutdown had to happen isn't it. See it is Congress that failed to do their jobs. SenSchumer has not negotiated. He hasn't gotten a bill that can get 60 votes in the Senate. It is Congress that passes Appropriations bills not the executive.
This is outright wrong
Disgusting!!!!!
MaddowBlog Congresspersons continue to get paid too
So when will people start hitting the streets in protest? Cause writing articles about it and commenting on social media ain't getting these people paid. Get pissed!!
This guy needs to go and go fast
Unfortunately the 'we the people' allowed this corruption to go on way too long. It's time to call these people to account! They work for us. We get to decide who has earned a raise! Reprehensible crooks!
What a disgrace !!!!
PreetBharara Disgusting! No one in the Administration nor Congress should even be getting paid until Federal government employees and contractors start getting paid again.
That is despicable as are they. What kind of a Christian does that make Pence? We already know about trump.
MaddowBlog WTF?.....not that it matters to any of those greedy fucks, but they should have all their pay stripped away just like the hard working people on the bottom who are not being paid during the shutdown!!!
Just when you thought they couldn't stoop any lower...
MaddowBlog
Why not take all their raises to pay for the friggin’ wall?
love_teach_run His base will still vote for him including the farmers being screwed with a possibility of bankruptcy. Logical.
Come on Congress! Fix this!!!
Our gov’t is such shit. Unreal.
This is BS. Until this is resolved no one in this adminstration and Congress should be getting a paycheck!!!!
PreetBharara This is what you Republican Trumptards Voted for!!! Especially the unpaid federal workers who are eating Ramen noodles to get by while Trump appointees get fillet mignon!!
Nope, no room in the budget.
MaddowBlog Money grab
Paid for from the freeze on pay increase to the 800,000 + that are also not receiving pay during govt TrumpShutdown. And many of them are working for no pay. I think RashidaTlaib said it best yesterday. What was that word? Anyone help me with what they are? BlueWave
THIS is what ultimately happens when the govt gets shut down and ppl go on celebrating spending holidays as if that is all that matters!
Shame on them! Freeze their bank accounts!

hm... it is a bribe to keep them in the Trump nightmare administration, if not they all will leave his nightmare administration....
PreetBharara This is fucking UNACCEPTABLE.
You have got to be kidding. This is ridiculous. They get raises while others living paycheck to paycheck have to go to work without getting paid because McConnell won’t put the CRs up for a vote they passed 2 weeks ago. I hate this administration.
So the top executives get bonuses while the workers on the line get nothing. Looks like the GOP really is running the govt like a corporation!
All air traffic controllers should say after the last plane is in safely we are striking until you reopen the GOVERMENT.
If they want the wall so badly they should donate their raises to it.
Really
They. Don’t. Care.
What has happened to our moral compass?
That projects how much the Trump administration cares for our government work force and their families interests. AFGENational we need to work together in elections to make a change and protect the interests of our governt work force. Together we can be victorious!
And if T-RUmp's 'Shutdown' is ever resolved, won't get a pay increase this year:
And, screwed the rest of the civil service out of the 2.9% increase. This administration just can't help themselves...except when it comes to taking for themselves. IndictTrumpNow

PreetBharara It's all about timing.

Oh my what will they do with that blood money ?
How convenient.
I thought he just vetoed a pay raise?
Why is anyone in govt being paid? If it’s shutdown, NO salaries for any of them until this shit reopens. Shutdown would be over already.
+ a pay freeze for Federal Employees
It’s no wonder we curse
StormieJenny LockThemUp Btw, REP party stinks! greedy
What?
Opposite of leadership.
It's just more hush money, and should be investigated as such.

This country should not be run by rich racists Republicans because all they care about is money$ and power to control people's lives! This USA wasn't built by rich individuals, it was built by indigent servants and slaves. It's a shame we(USA) is gonna let the wealthy destroy us
“There was no immediate comment Friday by the White House. A spokesperson for Pence also did not immediately provide comment.”

Wow 2020 can’t come any sooner
Trump has done this all his whole life. He will buy goods from middle-class small business owners and declare bankruptcies. Trump is a rip-off con artist.
McConnell and Trump feather the beds of millionaires in the cabinet while screwing federal workers.This is a total disgrace and demonstrates why McConnell is bad for America. Fire him by voting him out and the rest of the spineless GOP Senate in 2020.
williamlegate Classy!
Yes and not even a piddly pay raise for federal workers Again. Why are they getting raises. This is some BS.
ROYALTY
This is their “let them eat cake” moment”.
Trump feels no responsibility for Federal Employees or the country, just for his buddies. They get a raise while Federal Employees don’t get a paycheck!

Shall we mention how with TrumpShutdown trumpwe will all have to still pay our taxes for their paychecks, but our refunds get put on hold
HouseDemocrats SpeakerPelosi RepJeffries RepAdamSchiff SenSchumer SenateDems 🚨🚨🚨
realDonaldTrump made sure to give his swamp a raise while many Americans are going without pay. MAGA my ass! ImpeachThatMotherfucker
Federal worker here. Still working without pay since before Christmas. Now I have a pay freeze on my salary if/when I start getting paid again. But trump gives out treats to his little kiss ass cronies. This administration is fucked.
And paychecks continue for SenateGOP SenateDems HouseGOP HouseDemocrats . So, what's your point, ?
Fed workers aren’t being paid & regular workers get a small raise then your health insurance goes up. Who gets a $10k raise
They need all of their legal fees paid!
WHY are they getting raises, while 800,000 fed employees are not even getting their regular paychecks? This is fucked up! ImpeachTheMfkrs
VP realDonaldTrump You really are unfit to lead.
Like they don’t deserve with with them having to hire their own security, build walls around their homes, hire attorneys, etc to keep Atifia and every wacko liberal (Communist) from coming after them.
AudreyGarden *timing*
This is the Trump Swamp in action! Congress should enact legislation that stops salaries for these and all federally elected officials when the government is shutdown!
JBizsm Every one cuts their own deal
Disgusting!
Typical!!!!
is this true? Government 'leaders' getting raises while fed workers victimized by YOUR shutdown?If it is, I hope now they do in fact impeach you into next century.... realDonaldTrump
Meanwhile the MSM hyperventilates over a woman dropping the f-bomb while GOP continues to rob from the poor to give to the rich
POTUS realDonaldTrump, you want to do the right thing, if 800,000 federal employees are furloughed without pay, then Congress should work without pay to and no salary increases to them or your administration until government is re opened. Get it done.
Shame
In case you're an impressionable maga fan or a small-govt conservative who mistakenly thinks that POTUS cancelling federal pay raises was an example of fiscal restraint... Nope.
Hello, Americans...hello, y'all suckers!
Meanwhile back at the ranch. I guess it’s some sort of hazard pay for the lonely? While serious services are suspended. While we pay for shoe phones and curtains. And agencies reuse folders and paper and cut staff to the point of being unsafe for staff and public. krassenstein
Classic. SMH GOPHypocrisy GOPCorruption
Getting raises for doing a fucked up job....yeah, that makes sense🙄
Open borders are more important than an open government.
Classic.
MAGA 💀
realDonaldTrump well played Dummy
realDonaldTrump and the GOP continues to drain the swamp and Make America Great Again. This time, while trump continues to hold federal employees hostage over a wall nobody wants, his VP and members of his cabinet (the few that are left) are getting large increases.
GOOD LUCK WITH THOSE LIES GUYS TRUMP HAS NOT TAKEN BUT A MERE 1 DOLLAR OUT OF EACH PAYCHECK AND DONATED THE REST TO CHARITY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THOSE DEMOCRTS DO THE SAME!!!!
We got to get him out of here.. just do it— in his words, we can rap it up in 5 minutes!! He and his deplorables are getting rich , while Federal Workers are broke and trying to keep their life going., borrowing money,looking for loose change—and him wanting us to feel sorry him
Disgusting!
And who made this happen?
DISGRACEFUL
So...we have money for that, and money for trumps folly (wall), but not for the federal workers going withput pay. Hmm, priorities.
Who was that new Democratic lawmaker who said she wants to “impeach that motherfucker?” I LIKE HER!
That’s BULLSIT, but typical of the dump administration.
Just as outrageous as you getting paid during shutdown right?
They have just been confirmed. They were actually doing the job for more than a year whiteout the pay that goes along with it. It is technically backpay
Why am I not surprised? Thank you Trump-McConnell Shutdown!
awful!
Didn’t realDonaldTrump just call out Nancy Pelosi for going to Hawaii over Christmas? SMDH 🤦🏻♀️
the swamp monsters are getting a raise. Go figure
The money to pay the 10,000 pay increases will be taken from the taxes you paid in last year. Infrastructure crumbling, programs that help people in need, healthcare for veterans and horrific debt needs to be addressed. I see a new tax coming in 2019
Trump also canceled federal workers raises for 2019.
Disgusting display of leadership ( or lack thereof)
That is obnoxious.
This infuriates me. Disgusting.
Let’s not forget that Trump cancelled the scheduled pay increases for the civil servants. He has got to be reeled into the real world
I’m sure you get a raise every year. Unlike regular folk. Your all crooked
Ahahahahahahaha. Get while the gettings good. You’re giving it to the lawyers anyway.
Tough to live on graft alone.
Wake up and smell the corruption. MAGA
When are we going to put legislative salary increases on the ballot? Let the people vote on whether or not those in government deserve a raise. I doubt any of us are able to give ourselves a raise at OUR jobs.
HouseDemocrats REALLY? Nearly a million ppl unpaid and these guys get raises?
Does the article mention no cost of living increase also?
Wow ... in other democracies, if a budget fails to pass an election is called ... essentially they all get fired and have to go to the voters to get their jobs back
That’s maga for ya!!
Well I’m MN 23 govt workers got up to 40% raises from about going Dem Governor. All politicians are the same, they take care of their own!
And, after Trump used his emergency powers to CANCEL A COST OF LIVING RAISE FOR OTHER FEDERAL EMPLOYEES!!!
Aren't federal employees wages frozen for 2019?
In the land of lawsuits, why isn’t there a lawyer brave enough to suggest legal action against realDonaldTrump ? There’s enough evidence to show plaintiffs (fed workers) are being deprived of their salary while the defendant’s associates are given extra money.
Don't forget Trump taking away the 2.1% raise Federal employees were supposed to get this year. No money for it due to his tax scam. In all my years of working, I never thought ' I sure am glad to be here so the rich can get richer.'
Hope someone asks Trump today why it's okay that Pence and other administration officials get a big raise while many federal workers do not get paid during the shutdown AND Trump has cancelled the 2019 scheduled raise for federal workers
So realDonaldTrump w/holds federal workers pay over funding for a race baiting wall AND eliminates their pay raises for cuz there’s no money in the budget but those making 2,3,4 times as much as the average worker in the USA get $10kyr pay raises. Exactly what’s wrong w/ GOP
Fire pensy & trummy
They don’t live in the world we live in.
realDonaldTrump Pence got 5.5% raise? Isn't that nice?
EleanorNorton This should be reversed, while also reinstating federal employee COLAs for 2019.
DRAIN THE TRUMP SWAMP realDonaldTrump
And yet our Liar-in-Chief has frozen government workers’ pay for 2019. TrumpShutdown TrumpResign
Then fund the wall
Swamp things.
FAKENEWS
Any questions where REPUBLICANS stand with working Americans? GOP SUCKS
AFGENational When Words Fail. Solidarity
Schumer and Pelosi just have to give 1/10 of 1% of the budget and we can all move on. They just allowed 50 billion $$$ to go to other countries for their protection. Anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?
This is what people should be outraged over! But yeah, let’s get all bent out of shape because a newly elected woman of congress uses foul language. 🙄 You know what was more egregious? When a member of Congress called Obama a liar during his State of the Union! So spare me!!
Rump knew he had 3 core constituencies that would standardize around a single issue to make up his base: 1) racists, 2) White Evangelicals, & 3) the uber rich. By merely adding a few numbskulls like flag waving morons & party loyalists he could shield himself. impeachthetraitor
This is bs. These people are beyond words.
Let’s not forget that in addition to being furloughed/unpaid, all federal employees were also denied by executive order their cost of living pay increase that was approved by congress and was to begin this month.
Crooks galore!
All of the Senate and Congress and every Department Head, should have their pay frozen!!! That's the only thing they understand, 💵 $$, money, they don't need any if they're not working for the People!
Do you really think that they granted themselves pay raises this past week. Not possible. But for the mindless it makes perfect sense.
Come on people. Read the article. It’s Congress’s fault as well for not passing spending bills.
Lovely hypocrisy
What? No way!! Who approved this?
Seems legit
I seriously don’t understand why we aren’t just building a giant guillotine right outside the White House
Washington Post = DNC
Blow this up Twitter friends!
Hmm $10,000 dollars huh.😂 I bet a lot of those broke trump supporters could use that bread.but they would probably say those trump appointees deserve it more than they do. If trump told them that😂😂😂😂😂😂😂unfucking believable 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Booo.
are we talking about these skin heads?
And POTUS also canceled the COLA pay raise of federal workers...
One might be inclined to even call them “motherfuckers.”
Disgusting
Repeated for emphasis: any right-leaning member of the military, veteran, government employee, farmer, or manufacturing sector worker who votes GOP ever again is not so much a human being than a bunch of spite-vapor trapped within a sausage casing.
So much for draining the swamp. GOP=liars!
Robbing the tax payers, again.😤
Another slap in face of Fed employees; not only have to go w/o pay but also forego planned raises so Pence &45's appointees can get raises? This should offend EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN! GOPTaxScam wasn't enough
Absolutely outrageous!! Giving these people a raise, we are now 2TRILLION $$$ in debt, government is shut down, people are hurting! WTF
“The raises appear to be an intended consequence of the shutdown: When lawmakers failed to pass bills on Dec. 21 to fund multiple federal agencies, they allowed an existing pay freeze to lapse.” Un-f$&?ing-believable!
Oh well!
More FAKE NEWS, OUT RIGHT LIE, invented by the fascist on the left, Washington post reporting lies.
