Trump Pays the Troops, Riley Plays Politics

October 20, 2025

Three weeks of Josh Riley’s shutdown. Three weeks of excuses, finger-pointing, and failed leadership. Republicans voted to pay the troops and reopen the government. Riley voted no, and President Trump had to step in to protect America’s heroes.

“Democrats like Josh Riley put politics ahead of paychecks. President Trump showed leadership; Riley showed contempt.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
