Tell me again how Democrats are going to take the blame for layoffs when every Republican is saying 'WE WILL FIRE YOU ALL AND LAUGH'
"Democrats should know that they put the White House and the president in this position, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier on Thursday. And if they dont want further harm on their constituents back home, then they need to reopen the government. Its very simple: Pass the clean continuing resolution, and all of this goes away. "

Russell Vought speaks otuside the White House, arms splayed outward

The GOP has gone fully mask-off as it brings the hammer of austerity down on Democratic voters as punishment for their senators not capitulating to Trumps funding bill. This is what theyre doing. Theyre doing it deliberately, its going to harm [Democrats], said Republican Senator Mike Lee, referring to Trump and OMB Director (and Project 2025 mastermind) Russell Vought ripping funding away from blue states, holding crucial projects hostage.
Because Russ Vought, the OMB director, has been dreaming about this momentpreparing this momentsince puberty, the Utah senator continued. Russ Vought has a plan, and that plan is going to succeed in further empowering Trump. This is gonna be the Democrats worst nightmare, and its of their own making.
While it might not have been his dream since puberty (although Vought is filled with enough spite to make that somewhat believable), this slash-and-burn retribution is absolutely all part of the plan.
Trump and Vought have already frozen $18 billion in infrastructure projects in New Jersey and New York, and announced cuts to $8 billion in energy funding from 16 blue states as well. The pressure campaign seems to just be getting started.

That is despite that they were hurting them before, are hurting them now independently of the shutdown, and will hurt them in the future despite any promises they make.
