John, the day after Republicans allowed the government to shut down, Donald Trump met with Russel Vought, the author of Project 2025, to plot which “Democrat Agencies” to cut:

Donald Trump Meeting Project 2025 Author to Cut ‘Democrat Agencies’

Think about that, instead of working to reopen the government and pay federal workers, Trump is scheming with the guy who wrote the plan to slash veterans’ benefits, gut public education, and upend our democracy as we know it.

This isn’t reckless improvisation. This is the plan, and it always has been. In fact, Vought and Trump have been cutting grants and threatening agencies all year.

Trump and his cronies are following the Project 2025 playbook step-by-step. It’s dangerous, it’s anti-democratic, and we have to fight back.

While hundreds of thousands of federal employees are furloughed or working without pay, Trump’s more focused on cutting even more jobs than reaching a deal that puts hardworking Americans first.

He’s openly preparing to fire the workers who keep our country running.

John, I won’t stand by while Trump and his right-wing allies rip away our freedoms, fire workers, and wreak havoc on our country.
