Progress Michigan’s Statement on Trump Administration Spending Cuts Reversal 

MICHIGAN – On Wednesday, Progress Michigan released the following statement about the Trump Administration reversing spending cuts pulled straight from the pages of Project 2025:

“This is just the beginning on two fronts: Donald Trump’s plans to gut America’s communities on behalf of billionaires and Americans’ pushback to those efforts – expect more of both. The Trump Administration quickly found out that their bid to cut funds from programs that Michiganders depend on was deeply unpopular and a nonstarter for many in this country,” said Sam Inglot, executive director for Progress Michigan. “Let’s be clear: This was an attempt to strip millions of people of healthcare, childcare, education, and many other programs that people need to survive and thrive. The Trump Administration, Republicans, and their billionaire backers lied to the American people about their attempts to harm them, and the people saw right through it. We must continue to push back against these attempts to implement Project 2025 and any other platform that aims to put our families and communities in danger. ”
