Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term. Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times. Never delivered one. Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure. Now Russ Vought is taking that away. But only in blue states.

This is what happens when a lawless POTUS backed by a spineless Congress and a feckless SCOTUS is given power over already appropriated funds.


Photo of an X post by Bernie Sanders (@BernieS
...) from 11 hours ago. The post reads: "The Trump administration does not have the right to rescind federal funding to states for the 'crime' of voting against Donald Trump in the election. That is outrageous, blatantly unconstitutional and illegal. This action must be overturned." The post includes a profile picture of Bernie Sanders and a verification badge.
A screenshot of a Politico article titled "Trump targets states that voted for Harris in shutdown fight." The article states that the Office of Management and Budget is withholding billions in energy and infrastructure money in more than a dozen states that voted against Trump. The image shows a man in a blue suit and red tie gesturing with both hands, standing on a grassy area with a helicopter in the background.

Targeting Blue States to cut government funding is an obscenely shoddy version of partisan politics, especially since it is those Blue States that disproportionately paid for that funding. Vought isn't going to cut funding for Mississippi, which Illinois paid for, because that state voted Trump.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

If the jobs report were going to be positive for Trump it would be released. You know it. We don't even have to guess, because ADP has already reported negative job growth in the private sector for August and September.

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country. Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

A government shutdown means Americans won’t get the services they depend on. Federal workers won’t get their paychecks. People’s livelihoods will be upended. This is happening because Republicans wanted to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich by making devastating cuts to the social safety net.

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.
