You not only acted outside the bounds of the law, but canceled projects that would have provided jobs, onshored manufacturing, and lowered skyrocketing energy prices. Congress authorized those projects and appropriated funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and annual appropriation bills.&nbsp; At the time of the termination of those projects, we expressed outrage that the terminations appeared politically motivated and confined to states that then-Vice President Kamala Harris carried in the 2024 presidential election. The Administration has now admitted in federal court what it denied to Congress and the American people.<\/em><br><br><em>On July 24, 2026, citing court filings, The New York Times reported that the Trump Administration acknowledged that it terminated more than $7.5 billion of grants due to political motivations. In a two-step process, the Department of Energy (DOE) first recommended more than 600 grants for potential termination, including grants in states represented by both Republicans and Democrats. It appears the Office of Management and Budget then selected all the grants in \u201cBlue States\u201d for cancellation, which DOE executed. In court filings, DOE\u2019s lawyers conceded that the cancellations occurred \u201cbased solely on the political identity of the grant recipient\u2019s state.\u201d Specifically, as the court filings stated, \u201c[w]ith one exception, the 284 terminated grants had a recipient location and\/or at least one place of performance in a state that awarded its electoral votes to Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and has two Democratic-caucusing Senators (\u201cBlue State\u201d grants).\u201d Similar grants in Red States, however, remained intact and were not the subject of termination. What\u2019s more, DOE lawyers conceded that the decision to terminate these blue state grants was not \u201cbased on any programmatic, statutory, cost-reduction, or performance-based factor.\u201d<\/em><br><br><em>Once an Administration begins punishing Americans for how they vote, the threat extends far beyond these projects: no state, community, business, or worker can trust that the federal government will apply the law fairly.
