As the government shutdown hit its 29th day, several senators and representatives on both sides of the aisle have decided to withhold their paychecks.

Federal employees have been furloughed and have not received paychecks since the Senate failed to vote on a continuing resolution to fund the government. Congress members, who have the option to accept, withhold, or donate their paychecks during a shutdown, have united in rejecting their paychecks in solidarity until the shutdown ends, with some confirming their status publicly.
