Josh Riley’s reckless shutdown broke the IRS

October 14, 2025

Because of out of touch Democrat Josh Riley’s shutdown, the IRS halted key taxpayer services. Refunds, audits, and phone lines are stalled — leaving families and small businesses in limbo. Taxpayers pay Washington to work, not to shut down.

“Josh Riley’s reckless shutdown proves Democrats don’t care about working families footing the bill. They broke the government and expect you to pay for it.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
