Day 14: Jim Costa’s Shutdown Stiffs Our Troops

October 15, 2025

Today is Day 14 of Jim Costa’s government shut down. While House Republicans voted to keep paychecks flowing for America’s servicemembers, out of touch Democrats like Costa voted no, choosing politics over patriots. Thankfully, President Trump has stepped in and fixed it, ensuring our troops get paid even as Costa shut the government down.

Shutting down the government to score political points is disgraceful. The fact that Democrats like Jim Costa are willing to stiff our troops and law enforcement says everything you need to know about their priorities.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
