With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

Unbelievably sad, the unexpected death of chess GM (Grand Master) Daniel Naroditsky at only 29 years of age. One of the most talented chess players, teachers, streamers and commentators in chess history.
Such a loss to the world. I'm in tears thinking about this.
