Over the past 48 hours, roughly $28 billion in federal funding has been withdrawn from dozens of states, over 300 Department of Energy projects have been canceled, and major transportation projects are threatened. These aren’t headlines or talking points, they’re real jobs, real paychecks, and real families in jeopardy. Unlike Members of Congress, building trades workers only get paid when they show up to work. If they cannot work, they do not get paid. Memes don’t pay the bills. Political games don’t build projects or keep families afloat. https://lnkd.in/eakaMEwM
