flag A Trump-led government shutdown, the second-longest in U.S. history, uses selective funding cuts and mass firings, sparking concerns over executive overreach.

flag As of October 2025, the U.S. government shutdown is the second-longest in history, evolving from a legal enforcement tool into a political strategy under President Donald Trump. flag Unlike past shutdowns, his administration has selectively applied funding lapses, dismissed over 4,000 federal workers, redirected defense research funds to maintain operations, and blamed Democrats for the crisis. flag The move marks a significant departure from uniform enforcement, raising concerns about executive overreach and erosion of constitutional checks and balances.
