GOP Criticizes Trump’s Policies Impacting Blue States and Climate Funding

Senator Thom Tillis criticized the Trump administration's targeted funding cuts to blue states during the government shutdown, warning it could deepen the impasse and harm future bipartisan negotiations. The administration's actions, including canceling billions in infrastructure and green energy funds, have caused concern among some Republicans, while others, like House Speaker Mike Johnson, defended the approach. President Trump has also posted controversial videos, including one depicting the OMB director as the Grim Reaper, amid ongoing political tensions.
