Trump aides keep telling struggling workers to suck it up

We're two federal paychecks into the longest government shutdown in history and government workers are hurting. But key people in President Donald Trump's orbit have offered little in the way of comfort in recent days.

Ross' Commerce Department currently lacks funding and most of the more than 45,000 employees who work for him are facing down their second straight paycheck of $0.00.
