These fascist thugs are really trying to stick it not only to individual political opponents, but to blue states in general. The Malignant Fascist's minder Putin must be very pleased that the "cold civil war" may be heating up:
The White House is targeting Democratic states with its first wave of cuts to federal projects following the government shutdown, impacting billions of dollars in funding for energy and infrastructure in New York, California and elsewhere.
Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Wednesday the Trump administration is cancelling nearly $8 billion in funding for energy programs he characterized as part of “the Left’s climate agenda.”
The cuts will impact 16 states — all of which voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election. Vought did not identify exactly which programs would be cut in the social media announcement.
Earlier Wednesday, Vought said the White House is withholding $18 billion in funds from New York City’s Second Ave. subway and Gateway tunnel projects, the latter which connects New Jersey and New York.
New York-area lawmakers reacted with fury to the infrastructure cuts earlier Wednesday.
“Political revenge. Clearly outlined by Trump, time and again. He sees the U.S. as Blue and Red, and Blue states are enemies,” George Latimer (D-N.Y.), who represents the New York City suburbs in Westchester County, wrote in a text message to POLITICO. “As he has said many times, he hates his enemies; he is the retribution. Has he announced any rescission of any projects in Florida or Texas?”...
Vought, you may recall, is also one of the primary authors of the un-American, neo-fascist MAGAt blueprint "Project 2025," and, no, of course he hasn't announced any project rescissions in any red state. But he's just following the orders of the President of the Red States of America:
“We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn’t want, and they’d be Democrat things,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday ahead of the shutdown.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) called out the thugs and the thug tactics:
We're less than a day into this shutdown and Trump & Vought are illegally punishing Democrat-led states. This administration is clearly salivating at the opportunity to hurt people and using the shutdown THEY caused as the pretext to do it. These mafioso tactics WILL NOT WORK.

We'll see if the corrupt Republican Supreme Court will let it work soon enough.
May we all live long enough to see that these fascist mafiosos get the punishment they deserve.
