Josh Riley’s shutdown leaves border agents and servicemembers without pay

October 4, 2025

Today is Day 4 of Josh Riley’s government shutdown. 

By closing the government, Josh Riley and other Democrats are denying paychecks to our military servicemembers, law enforcement, and border patrol agents. While Republicans voted to keep America open and secure, Democrats chose politics over those who protect us.

“Shutting down the government to score political points is disgraceful. The fact that Democrats are willing to stiff our troops and law enforcement says everything you need to know about their priorities.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
