U.S. Representative Stephanie Bice, who represents Oklahoma’s 5th district in Congress, used her social media platform on October 3 and 4, 2025, to comment on the ongoing government funding situation and to criticize Democratic lawmakers.
On October 3, Bice posted: “Today is October 3rd
@HouseAppropsGOP has passed all 12 appropriations bills out of committee.
@HouseGOP has fully funded the government with a clean, simple CR.
What are the Democrats doing? Playing games and supporting a government shutdown.” She followed up later that day with another post stating: “They said it and now they have shut the government down because of it.
This is America last. https://t.co/AOAGwt9ZDv“
On October 4, Bice reiterated her earlier message: “Today is October 4th
@HouseAppropsGOP has passed all 12 appropriations bills out of committee.
@HouseGOP has fully funded the government with a clean, simple CR.
What are the Democrats doing? Playing games and supporting a government shutdown.”
