Democrats’ Reckless Shutdown? IRS on Pause, Maine Taxpayers Pay the Price.
October 14, 2025
Because of out of touch Democrats’ 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.
“Jared Golden’s party’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
