But the reality is simple: the Constitution gives Congress, not the White House, authority over spending. Any move by Trump to seize or block funds would trigger a constitutional crisis and end up at the Supreme Court.
This isn’t fiscal responsibility. This is an authoritarian power grab.

Congress controls the nation’s purse strings, not the president.
Trump and his allies, including OMB chief and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought, have called the Impoundment Act unconstitutional and want to revive presidential impoundment authority.

In 1945, near the end of the war, the Soviet Union launched Operation Whirlwind (Operatsiya Uragan) to rapidly seize control of Budapest, Hungary. It was a fast, brutal campaign designed to overwhelm the defenders with speed, chaos, and overwhelming force before they could organize resistance.

Where did the name come from?
The name “Operation Whirlwind” originally refers to a Soviet military operation during World War II.

This is an unelected oil executive now calling the shots for America’s public lands. No Senate vote. No accountability. Just a signature and the quiet handoff of power to Musk’s inner circle. This is what authoritarianism looks like, buried in bureaucracy.

But under Burgum’s order, Hassen has the power to fire employees, make funding decisions, set policy, and approve or deny programs without needing the Secretary’s sign-off. He’s already reviewing all grants and contracts over $50,000.
