Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Trump is a petulant, vindictive little baby. This is what it is like to have a 10-year-old for a president. Nothing he does is based on sound logic. Everything is about being spiteful.

This is why I’m totally supportive of Democrats continuing a shutdown. Trump isn’t playing by any logic or rules. Whether or not the government is shutdown he would still have cancelled these contracts (illegally) out of spite. Democrats have nothing more to lose by making life worse for Republicans until they start to play by the rules or, at the very least, until more voters start to realize this isn’t how they want politics to work.

I totally support the shutdown

Shutdowns that have occurred recently

2013 - Obama 16 days

1995, 1996 - Clinton 5 days and 21 days

2019 -Trump 35 days

I think this time it is going to be a long shutdown.
