Washington (AP). President Donald Trump, unlike any nation has ever seen, earns this Government by giving his budget a rare power of power to choose winners and losers – which receive or dismissed, which programs are cut or survived in an unprecedented reorganization through federal labor.
When the closure is in the third week, Office and Management and Budge said Tuesday that they are preparing to “cut hatchs” and have more decrease. The president calls the budget chief Russia’s Grim Reaper, and Vubt took the opportunity to finance Trump’s priorities by paying the military while reducing work in health, education, science and other actions that have been criticized as illegal and face the challenges of the court.
Trump stated that there are Democratic favorable programs and “in most cases would never come back”.
Speaking at the event at the White House, Trump added: “We can do something we couldn’t do before.”
Standing the Congress-IRRPLOPS-led palace refusing to return to the session, and the Senate stuck with unsuccessful voices to renew the government as the Democrats demanded the health care-budget service quickly filled the emptiness.
From 2025 Project up to the White House
Vounge, Chief Conservative Project 2025 The architect of the political book reorbs the size and scope of the federal government similar to the size and scope of those imagined in the project. This is what some lawmakers, especially Democrats, were afraid if Congress was unable to finance the Government.
Despite closing, Trump’s priorities – to support the military and carry out the agenda of its mass deportation – are essentially uninterrupted. The administration found that the revenue of the remaining tariffs to ensure that women, babies and children would not go beyond food.
However, Trump’s administration closes the scores of other programs, shooting staff with special education and after -school programs, and those who protect the nation’s infrastructure for cyber attacks. More than 4,100 federal workers received reports of dismissals over the weekend.
“This closure is different from the previous ones, as Donald Trump and Russians Vought and all of their chronicles use this moment to terrorize these patriotic federal workers,” said old Chris van Hollen, D-Md, standing on Tuesday with federal staff for the White House Bureau.
Van Hollen said it was a “big fat lie” when the short and his budget director says closing them to fire federal staff. “It’s also illegal and we’ll see them in court,” he said.
Shutting is grinding in the third week
Now, on the 14th day, the federal closure quickly becomes one of the longest closure of the government. Congress did not follow October 1. The deadline to adopt the annual appropriation of bills of exchange necessary for the government to finance the Government, as the Democrats required an agreement to preserve the healthcare funds that provide subsidies to people to acquire a prohibition on affordable supervision law.
Chairman of the palace Mike Johnson on Tuesday said he had nothing to negotiate with Democrats before they voted for the government’s renewal. However, so far there are no signs, as the Senate Democrats have rejected the draft law on the VV to open the Government eight times on Monday night.
The Republican Rapporteur congratulated the latest omb actions to pay some employees and dismiss others.
“They have all the rights to transfer the funds,” said Johnson at a press conference at the Capitol. If Democrats want to challenge Trump’s administration in court, Johnson said, “Bring.”
Federal employees usually have funds during funding, traditionally with Back Pay when government funding is restored. However, the Vought Budget Service announced at the end of last week that the reduction of the forces had begun. About 750,000 employees are stunned.
Military salary, exile on the road
At the same time, the short stated the military to find money to prevent the service staff from missing this week. The Pentagon said over the weekend that he could have used $ 8 billion in unused research and development funds to pay.
On Tuesday, the Homeland Security Secretary Kristi noem said her agency is based on the big funding of the short tax reduction law to make sure the coastal security members are also paid.
“We, DHS, have made an innovative solution,” the noem said in a statement. For Trump, Trump’s Trump’s account said: “Men and women of the US Coast Guard will not miss the salary this week.”
In the past, the omb oversee the agency’s plans through federal funds, ensuring that the employees are necessary and still at work. However, Vought continued to take his role, openly talking about his plans to go after the federal workforce.
When the agencies began to develop their closing plans, the Vought omb inspired the heads of departments to consider reducing the potential because it is an unheard act. Mark Paoletta, Advisor to the Bureau of the Budget, suggested that the workforce could be automatically suitable for pay when the government is re -opening.
Grim Reaper replaces Elon Musk’s chain saw
Last week, Trump published a video created by AI, depicting Vouth, wearing a cloak and carrying a scythe, a classic rock tuft in the background “(Don’t be afraid)).
“Every authoritarian leader had his own gloomy reaper. Russell Vubt is Donald Trump,” said a spokesman Steny Hoyer, a senior Democrat of Maryland.
Hoyer compared the budget budget with the billionaire Elon Musk, who considered a chainsaw this year through the reduction of the Government Efficiency Department. “Vought turns his scythe through the federal government as recklessly,” he said.
In many ways, the Law on Short Tax Reduction has given the White House a huge new distribution of federal funding for its priority projects separately from the conventional appropriations in the Congress of the Process.
The pack has spent about $ 175 billion on a pentagon, including the Golden Dome missile panel and other priority projects, and nearly $ 170 billion for homeland security, mainly due to a short mass deportation agenda. It also included additional funds for the work of Vought omb.
Based on the Non -partisan Congress Budget Service, certain accounts can be used to use during closure.
“The administration could also decide to use the mandatory funding provided for in the 2025 Accession Act, or to other sources of compulsory funding, funded by those direct appropriations in various agencies,” says the CBO.
The CBO was mentioned by defense, Treasury and Homeland Security Departments and Management and Budget Service as among those who received funds by law.
