When the government’s shut down and your fridge’s the only one still open—thanks to Project 2025.
Wins and Losses
- Loss: The federal shutdown drags on, freezing vital programs while millions of Americans face food insecurity and halted services. The Trump regime calls it “necessary restructuring.” Translation: government by hostage.
- Loss: SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that feeds 42 million Americans — was set to be suspended because the administration “lacks authority” to release funds. This move directly mirrors Project 2025’s blueprint for dismantling welfare.
- Loss: The FDA’s top drug regulator, George Tidmarsh, abruptly resigned after federal officials launched a probe into alleged corruption and defamation. The agency now stands leaderless during a national shutdown — a key Project 2025 goal to weaken independent oversight.
- Win (for now): Two federal judges ordered the administration to keep emergency reserves flowing to maintain SNAP payments — a temporary reprieve for millions.
- Loss disguised as “policy”: The White House launched its grotesquely tone-deaf “MySafeSpace” webpage mocking critics — proof they’re trolling democracy while the country starves.
- Project 2025 fingerprint: Both the shutdown and the agency chaos stem from the Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership, which calls for consolidating presidential control, “re-educating” civil servants, and eliminating federal aid programs.
Project 2025 Cross-References:
- SNAP Cuts: Chapter 12, Health and Welfare Reform (pp. 660–670) — calls for ending “dependency” by phasing out federal nutrition programs.
- Shutdown Strategy: Chapter 1, Executive Empowerment (pp. 27–34) — promotes unilateral executive control during “congressional obstruction.”
- Regulatory Capture / FDA Chaos: Chapter 7, Health Care and Drug Oversight (pp. 460–475) — advocates politicizing agencies under the HHS Secretary.
- Mocking Political Opponents: Chapter 15, Office of Communications and Messaging — urges aggressive propaganda tactics to “control the narrative.”

Rallying Call from Resistance Kitty
Resistance Kitty here: This isn’t budget drama — it’s demolition. The regime is using Project 2025 as both blueprint and battering ram, gutting food aid, mocking democracy, and hollowing out safety regulators. The FDA resignations and SNAP crisis aren’t random — they’re coordinated steps in a fascist makeover of America. But we’re not rolling over. We’re claws-out, organized, and watching. Stay loud, stay fed, and stay furious. Revolution 2025 is built on resilience — and this Kitty’s still purring with purpose.
