Trump freezes federal funds for New York City project

The Trump administration has frozen about $18 billion for two major infrastructure projects in New York City

pending a review to ensure that funding is not “flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles,” a top official said Wednesday.

"The funding is earmarked for the Hudson River Tunnel Project known as Gateway, and the Second Avenue Subway project, said Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought.

Vought’s announcement came on the first day of the shutdown of the U.S. government after Congress failed to pass stopgap funding bills that would have kept federal agencies and services operating at normal capacity for at least another seven weeks.

The Trump administration has blamed the two top Democrats in Congress—Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—for that shutdown. Both Democrats are from New York City.

Maybe next time the state and its corrupt judges will think twice before trying to bankrupt a man for taking out a loan and repaying it with interest. Democrats played hardball. Now Donald John Trump is back on the mound.

As pitcher Mudcat Grant used to say, it is time for a little chin music. That means a pitch up and in and barely under the chin. He was tough. Beat Don Drysdale 8-2 in the first game of the World Series in 1965.

Pitcher Trump’s designated hitter is Vought, which provides Democrats with a new face to sling mud at. They have exhausted themselves and their supporters trying to demonize Trump. They need a surrogate to attack. JD Vance is too cuddly. With the beard, he looks like a Teddy bear—albeit the mean talking one from the Ted movies." [Luthmann News]
