#Trump is canceling nearly $1 billion in spending already approved by #Congress, the White House announced on Friday, using a rare & “contested” power to axe #funding for #immigrant services & #diversity focused initiatives.
Trump’s Office of Management & Budget [ #OMB aka #RussVought aka #Project2025 ] described the funding cut as focused on “the most harmful government spending.” [wtf?]

Administration Admits It’s Canceling Federal Grants For Purely Political Reasons
-
In contrast, the admin left untouched hundreds of additional #energy #grants in #states that were represented by #Republicans & had backed #Trump in the last election, EVEN THOUGH the Energy Dept had recommended canceling them, the federal government confirmed in the July #court filing.
#MafiaState #law #democracy #UNITEDStates #RussVought #Project2025 #RevengePolitics

But in Oct, the White House budget office, led by #Project2025’s #RussVought, terminated only 284 of those grants. In a social media post announcing the news, Vought pointed to the motivations: “Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left’s climate agenda is being canceled,” he claimed.
Months later, in #court filings, federal officials indicated there was little else that had informed the final decision about which #grants to cancel.
-
The saga illustrates the stakes as the #Trump admin is completing a set of rules that would provide the president even GREATER CONTROL over more than $1 TRILLION in annual #federal #grants. To critics, the new #regulation would only make it easier for Trump to strike wider tranches of congressionally approved #funding over #political differences.

The sadmission showed how #Trump has #weaponized the provision of federal #education, #energy, #health, #housing & #infrastructure #aid in his second term. Far from rooting out the sort of misspending that Trump sees as rife in Washington, the White House has instead sought to #leverage the budget as a tool to assist its allies — or as a cudgel to hurt Trump’s foes.

#Trump Admin Admits Canceling Grants to #States That Did Not Vote for Him
Federal officials said in #court documents that they halted billions of dollars in #funding for #energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

"Trump administration plans to break up largest federal climate research center
Russ Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, said the National Science Foundation 'will be breaking up' the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado.
The Trump administration plans to break up Colorado’s National Center for Atmospheric Research, the largest federal climate research lab.
Russ Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, announced the plan Tuesday in a statement on X.
'The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado,' Vought wrote, linking to a story from USA Today, which was first to report on the administration’s effort. 'This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway & any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.'
The move would be a major setback for climate research in the United States, at a moment when the United Nations and other world leaders have said time is running out to prevent the most devastating effects of global warming.
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, NCAR’s parent organization, said in a statement Tuesday that it was aware of reports on a plan to shut down the center but did not have any information about it.
'We look forward to working with the administration to continue our focus on safeguarding the safety and prosperity of our nation,' Antonio Busalacchi, president of UCAR, said in the statement.
In response to NBC News’ inquiry about the plan for NCAR, a senior White House official took aim at Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat.
'Maybe if Colorado had a governor who actually wanted to work with President Trump, his constituents would be better served,' the official said."

#RussVought, the budget director, is “a right-wing absolute zealot.” And AG #PamBondi “completely whiffed” in handling the #EpsteinFiles.
#SusieWiles described her own reservations about certain policies in real time to Whipple, author of a well-regarded book on White House chiefs of staff, even as debates raged inside the #Trump admin.

'Bob Ross vibes': Mockery ensues as Trump official caught doodling during Cabinet meeting
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rawstory.com/russ-vought-2674363601/
-
…Because exams are confidential, they can identify — &, ideally, stop — small issues that could otherwise mushroom. The #CFPB’s examiners have forced #banks & other #lenders to return hundreds of millions of dollars to #consumers for improper fees & worthless services, & helped uncover high-profile issues like #WellsFargo’s sham accounts scandal.
#law #corruption #government #oversight #Project2025 #RussVought #Trump
-
And #RussVought has refused to request money for the #CFPB from the #FederalReserve, which funds its operations. The bureau warned in court filings that it would run out of operating cash early next year.
The #Trump admin is pursuing a variety of changes to give it greater sway over how #independent #financial regulators, including the Fed, oversee #WallStreet. Trump’s appointees have slashed supervision staffing & curtailed the scope of agencies’ #bank exams.
-
The new pledge is, for now, mostly symbolic. #RussVought halted nearly all work at the #CFPB shortly after his arrival in February, & #bank examinations have not resumed. The agency’s hundreds of examiners have been told to spend their time closing out all open matters; they are currently barred from initiating new ones.
-
“Is this fan fiction I’m reading?” Cat Farman, a bureau employee & the president of the staff union, wrote. She added, “Instead of traumatizing #CFPB workers with his role-play fantasies, Vought should resign so we can finally do our jobs protecting Americans from #WallStreet #fraud again.”
#law #corruption #government #oversight #Project2025 #RussVought #Trump
-
In a notice announcing the change, the #CFPB described its own supervision department as “the weaponized arm” of the agency under its #Biden-era director & said its exams had been carried out with “thuggery.”
On Monday, the consumer bureau’s staff #union fired back with a statement denouncing the pledge as “creepy” & “disrespectful.”
#law #corruption #government #oversight #Project2025 #RussVought #Trump
-
On Friday, the #CFPB said it would now require its #financial examiners to recite a “humility pledge” to companies before beginning a review.
“The upcoming supervision examination cycle is going to be fundamentally different from the prior ones,” the pledge begins. It then details a set of changes, including a more limited review scope & an agency commitment to “work collaboratively” with the businesses it oversees.

This is a super freaking weird way of undermining #corporate #accountability.
#Banking is one of the US’ most tightly regulated industries, & confidential bank examinations carried out by independent federal regulators are a core guardrail for protecting the safety & soundness of the financial system.
#RussVought, #Trump #OMB director, is not a fan of how the #CFPB, where he is acting director, has carried out those exams.

Attempted #Drumpf & #RFKjr purge of #CDC workers initially fails due to clerical "coding" error.
“The employees who received incorrect notifications were never separated from the agency and have all been notified that they are not subject to the reduction in force,” said Andrew #Nixon, director of communications for the US Department of #Health and Human Services. More than half of Center for #Disease Control staffers gleefully fired Friday by #GOP administration have been reinstated.
“We figure they started this thing, so they should be #Democrat-oriented,” the President said, placing blame for his second #GovtShutdown firmlly on a minority #Democratic lawmakers. #DJT did not provide details on what qualified the affected dismissed workers as “Democrat-oriented.”
Once the "coding error " on the dismissal notifications is figured out by the admin's "Christian nationalist" headchopper #RussVought, it is almost certain thousands of federal workers will again be re-fired

#Trump signed into #law after the longest ever #GovernmentShutdown in 2019 #legislation to ensure #FederalWorkers receive back pay during any federal #funding lapse. But in the new memo, his #OMB [#RussVought] says #backpay must be provided by #Congress, if it chooses to do so, as part of any bill to fund the govt.
The move by the admin was widely seen as a strong-arm tactic — a way to pressure lawmakers to reopen the govt, now in the 7th day of a #shutdown.
