Day 12: McDonald Rivet Started the Shutdown, Stopped Paychecks

October 12, 2025

Today is Day 12 of out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet’s government shutdown. By closing the government, McDonald Rivet risked paychecks for our military servicemembers, law enforcement, and border patrol agents. While McDonald Rivet chose politics over those who protect us, President Trump is ensuring they get the pay they deserve. 

“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 Spokesman Zach Bannon
