Analysis: This government shutdown is different from any that have come before because President Trump is reveling in a legally shaky plan to punish his enemies — or more accurately, their constituents.
Analysis | Government shutdowns have become normal. This one is not.
Many of the actions of the administration have no precedent, which makes it a harder test of both sides.

After careful and thorough analysis, I have determined that the combined number of undocumented migrants on Medicaid AND the ACA is zero.
That means if we stopped spending the money on that, we would save zero dollars.

Russell Vought is not only Pres. Trump’s budget director but also an author of Project 2025, and he’s seizing this government shutdown moment to pursue his ideological drive to gut federal agencies and programs that benefit Americans. #Velshi
The Vought Doctrine: Make it hurt
It’s day five and counting of a budget impasse in Washington, but critics say characterizing this moment as a government “shutdown” is misleading. For months, Donald Trump and his budget director Russell Vought have taken a sledgehammer to the federal bureaucracy and are now using this moment to gut agencies and programs that benefit working and middle-class Americans, while conveniently keeping in place everything that benefits the wealthy.

Chicago Alderperson handcuffed by federal agents speaks out as ICE escalates tactics
Since returning to office, President Trump has sought to reshape Immigration and Customs Enforcement to fit his mass deportation agenda. ICE insists agents use a “minimal amount of force” when making arrests, but video footage shows otherwise. Now with Trump ordering federal deployments into Chicago against the wishes of local officials, Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes says, “This is not about safety or security. This is about sowing division. This is about control.”
