Trump and budget chief Vought are making this a government shutdown unlike any other

More than 4,100 federal workers received layoff notices as the White House budget office uses new authority to cut jobs amid stalled health care subsidy talks, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump is overseeing a government shutdown, allowing his budget office unusual control to determine who remains employed or gets fired in federal jobs.
  • Budget chief Russ Vought is described as the 'grim reaper' by Trump and is accused of illegal actions facing court challenges.
  • As many as 750,000 federal workers are being furloughed due to these budgetary decisions.
  • The 'Big, Beautiful Bill, Act' provides the White House with significant federal funding for priority projects, bypassing traditional Congressional appropriations.
