FAFO: Russ Vought Hits Schumer and Jeffries Where It Hurts – Cites DEI Concerns as He Freezes BILLIONS in NYC Infrastructure Projects After Democrats Shut Down Government | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

In a dramatic turn of events, the government experienced what is now being referred to as the Schumer Shutdown, which officially commenced at 12:01 AM following the failure of two pivotal measures aimed at preventing a federal halt. Both proposals required a minimum of 60 votes to advance.

The Republican-supported initiative fell short, garnering only 55 votes in favor compared to 45 against—interestingly, Senator Rand Paul chose to align with Democrats on this occasion.

This move by the Democratic Party, along with Paul, has sparked criticism, suggesting a prioritization of issues such as aid for undocumented immigrants and healthcare options for transgender youth over fundamental government operations.

This situation is indeed a cause for concern.

In the wake of Chuck Schumer’s decision, a significant impact has been felt by his own constituents. Russ Vought took to X this morning to announce the suspension of approximately $18 billion in infrastructure projects slated for New York City, stating that the aim is to prevent these funds from being misallocated toward what he termed “unconstitutional DEI principles.”

Vought noted, “Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles,” indicating that more information would be forthcoming from the Department of Transportation.

“Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles. More info to come soon from @USDOT.

In follow-up tweets, Vought clarified that the frozen funds specifically pertained to two major projects: the Hudson Tunnel Project and the Second Avenue Subway.

Should the Democrats prolong their standoff, the fallout is expected to escalate. It may be time to set aside partisan differences and collaborate with President Trump to establish a comprehensive funding blueprint that can avert further disruptions.
