Day 24: Sykes Put Partisan Politics Over Those Who Protect Us

October 24, 2025

Democrat Emilia Sykes shut down the government, and now America’s servicemembers are being told to suit up. Our troops will keep standing post while Washington Democrats play politics, forcing military families to worry about rent, groceries, and child care instead of the mission.

“Democrat Emilia Sykes started this shutdown and left our men and women in uniform holding the bag. It’s reckless, demoralizing, and totally avoidable.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
