Sykes’ Shutdown Agenda: Delay, Deflect, Deny
October 21, 2025
Day 18 and Democrats still haven’t apologized for trying to stiff our troops. Eighteen days into the Democrats’ shutdown, the only reason troops have been paid is because President Trump acted while Democrats refused. Republicans voted to keep paychecks flowing; Democrats voted to shut them off.
“Democrat Emilia Sykes’ shutdown was a direct attack on America’s defenders. President Trump had their backs when Sykes turned hers.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
