Government shutdown 2025: Indian-origin Ami Bera, Suhas Subramanyam turn down pay, say it's not right

Indian-origin Congressmen Suhas Subramanyam and Ami Bera announced they would forgo their salaries during the federal government shutdown, which began Wednesday. They believe it is wrong for members of Congress to be paid while federal workers and troops are forced to work without compensation. The shutdown, the first since 2018, could extend for weeks.
