Donald Trump and his band of Republican brothers are exploiting the United States Government’s ongoing shutdown to its highest potential. After threatening to take away the jobs of several federal workers on the occasion of the shutdown, Trump and his allies are back to using their pressure tactics to target Democrats.
On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, the White House decided to freeze the funds of several Democratic states, in one of the biggest blows against the political party. As a result of the decision, an amount of approximately $26 billion to be used towards infrastructural improvements in these states has been withheld from them.
