Fact check: The post implies that this statement is from the official JD Vance.
Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 70/100
The central claim that the Senate passed a resolution to stop senators from receiving paychecks during government shutdowns reported by press releases from Senator John Kennedy's office, PBS News, and CBS News. However, the post is shared from an unofficial 'JD Vance 2028' account, which is not the official social media presence of Vice President JD Vance, making the attribution misleading.

Claims analyzed (2)
- false: The post implies that this statement is from the official JD Vance.
JD Vance is the 50th Vice President of the United States, having taken office on January 20, 2025. His official social media accounts would typically reflect his current role. The account '@JDVance_2028' is not his official X/Twitter account; official sources confirm his current position and typical online presence, not an account promoting a future presidential run. - verified: The Senate has passed a resolution to stop Senators from getting paychecks during Government shutdowns.
Multiple reputable news sources confirm that the U.S. Senate passed a resolution (S.Res. 526), sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), to withhold senators' pay during government shutdowns. The resolution passed by voice vote and was unanimously approved, with a 99-0 vote to advance it. It will take effect after the November 2026 midterm elections.
