Is trump’s threat to target democrats with mass layoffs as punishment for the government shutdown part of project 2025?

Yes, former President Trump's threat to target federal employees for layoffs during the 2025 government shutdown was connected to Project 2025. The layoffs were designed to fulfill goals outlined in the conservative initiative, which included drastically reducing the size of the federal workforce.

Key facts about the situation:
Project 2025 architect directed the cuts: The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought oversaw the layoffs. Vought is a key architect of Project 2025, which provides a detailed guide for dismantling parts of the federal bureaucracy.

Layoffs targeted "Democrat Agencies": On social media, Trump explicitly stated he was meeting with Vought to determine which "Democrat Agencies," which he referred to as a "political SCAM," should be cut. In another post, he referred to Vought's co-authoring of Project 2025.

Layoffs began during the shutdown: The White House announced that "reductions in force" (RIFs) had begun on October 10, 2025, during an ongoing government shutdown.

Specific agencies were targeted: Federal workers received layoff notices across seven agencies, including the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Treasury. These agencies oversee programs frequently criticized by conservatives and that serve populations often supported by Democrats.

Deviation from normal procedure: The move marked a departure from typical shutdowns, where workers are furloughed and receive back pay once the government reopens. Layoffs signal a permanent reduction in the federal workforce.

Opposition to the move: Congressional Democrats and some Republicans condemned the layoffs as an unprecedented and punitive political tactic. Federal employee unions filed a lawsuit to block the firings, arguing they were illegal.

Senator Kennedy:
Probably the best way to end the shutdown would be to lock Thune and Schumer in a room with Katie Porter and tell them they can’t come out until there’s a deal.

The problem is that GOPers are saying we can fix ACA after the govt is opened.

They are flat out lying.

They absolutely can't be trusted. Their word is no good.
