Trump no longer distancing himself from Project 2025 as he uses shutdown to further pursue its goals

Trump uses government shutdown to fast-track Project 2025, cutting $8 billion in green energy and $18 billion in New York transportation funding, officials said.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the shutdown grants Trump significant control over federal policies and staffing decisions.
  • Critics, including White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, assert that Trump's actions are inappropriate and undermine constitutional checks on presidential power.
