Photos of the week | October 24-30, 2025 - Roll Call

Sadly there are no photos of North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis’ Bipawtisan Howl-o-ween Dog Parade this year — it was yet one more casualty of the government shutdown, which has entered its fifth week. While the House has not been in session since Sept. 19, the Senate continues to be deadlocked on passing a continuing resolution. Here are the images captured by CQ Roll Call photojournalists this week.
