Trump’s shutdown plans: Mass layoffs, deregulation, military deployments
The White House’s call for mass layoffs in a looming shutdown tracks with past administration efforts to defang much of the federal government.Under the Trump administration’s plans for a government shutdown, the Labor Department would cut off most activities — then fire thousands of employees. National parks would close, and their staffs could face layoffs. Phone help lines at the Internal Revenue Service would go unstaffed, perhaps permanently.
National Guard deployments to major cities — D.C., Memphis and Portland — would continue. Immigration raids and deportation activities would be unaffected, though officers would work unpaid.
If Congress fails to fund the government next week, the White House is preparing for a shutdown that would reflect the purest version of President Donald Trump’s vision for the federal government, guided by White House budget director Russell Vought, an architect of the controversial Project 2025 playbook for Trump’s second term.
.......
The result, both during and potentially after a shutdown, could be a federal government dramatically reoriented to defense, immigration and law enforcement — and not much else.
....
But Vought earlier this week told agencies to prepare for mass firings if a shutdown takes hold, and even after that to “retain the minimal number of employees necessary.”
......
In a shutdown, agencies that interact directly with individuals and provide government services would largely suspend operations or face budget shortfalls.
The anti-hunger program for women, infants and children, known as WIC, generally keeps some contingency funds on hand, but those can run out after a number of weeks. Federal housing subsidy programs could face similar funding crunches.
The Small Business Administration would largely halt issuing new loans or providing support for existing loans. Agencies that review permits for everything from public demonstrations to transportation projects would be shuttered.

Trump takes the stage at Quantico to pure silence
And states
Trump opens with a threat to the generals in the room:
"I've never walked into a room so silent before … Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want. And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. but you just feel nice and loose."
