Description
As Trump and MAGA fire federal employees and make drastic cuts to the federal budget, ordinary Americans will lose many, many things they have taken for granted. This Tee pokes fun at Trump’s self-anoited King idea, while listing just some of the things on the chopping block this summer of 2025.
Here’s a powerful rundown of what Americans will miss, lose access to, or suffer from due to this sustained war on the federal workforce and public service infrastructure:
🔥 Emergency Response & Disaster Relief (FEMA, NOAA, USFS)
- Slower response times to wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and heat waves, which are growing more frequent and intense due to climate change.
- Fewer trained staff at FEMA to process aid, rebuild communities, or coordinate rescue operations.
- Weather forecasting delays and reduced storm tracking accuracy as NOAA scientists are driven out or not replaced.
- Public lands left unguarded during fire season due to cuts to the U.S. Forest Service.
🥵 Extreme Heat Protections (OSHA, EPA, HUD)
- No federal heat standards enforced for workers in warehouses, fields, and construction — putting lives at risk.
- EPA gutted so fewer checks on urban heat islands, air pollution, and water safety.
- Public housing remains unprepared for heatwaves, with no upgrades to AC, insulation, or cooling stations.
✈️ Travel Chaos (TSA, FAA, National Parks)
- Fewer TSA workers = longer lines, more delays, and heightened security risks.
- FAA staff shortages = more flight delays and greater risk of mid-air incidents.
- National parks overwhelmed, under-maintained, and under-patrolled — risking both safety and ecological damage during peak summer visitation.
🧒 Programs for Kids & Families (USDA, HHS, Education Dept.)
- Cut summer lunch programs for low-income kids who rely on school meals.
- Delayed child care subsidies and family health services from HHS.
- No staff to administer educational grants or summer learning programs — deepening the gap for marginalized students.
🌽 Farmer & Food System Support (USDA, EPA, Labor)
- Fewer inspections for food safety, pesticides, and agricultural fraud.
- No support for small farmers as subsidies and conservation programs go unstaffed.
- Farmworker protection enforcement drops, putting vulnerable workers in harm’s way.
🏛️ Justice & Democracy (DOJ, DOL, USPS, Census Bureau)
- Delayed civil rights investigations, police oversight, and workplace discrimination cases.
- Labor rights violations ignored due to DOL staff losses.
- USPS delays worsen, affecting medication delivery, ballots, and rural access.
- Census follow-up workers slashed, hurting planning, school funding, and representation.
🌐 Digital & Infrastructure Access (FCC, NTIA, DOE, DOT)
- Broadband expansion stalls, leaving rural and tribal communities offline.
- Clean energy grants delayed or canceled.
- Transportation projects halted or badly managed due to DOT understaffing.
😷 Public Health & Science (CDC, NIH, FDA)
- Slower outbreak response and tracking of new COVID, flu, or RSV variants.
- Cancer trials delayed, new treatments slowed.
- Fewer food and drug inspections, leading to more recalls and risks.
👨👩👧👦 In a Nutshell:
Americans will lose rescue, relief, safety, dignity, and time this summer — not because the government is inherently broken, but because it’s been systematically sabotaged from within.
Cuts aren’t just budget line items — they’re broken bridges, burning forests, spoiled food, unpaid claims, and unanswered calls when you need help most.
Embrace individuality and express yourself—this tee is designed for style enthusiasts who appreciate quality and design. Perfect for everyday wear, and an essential addition to any apparel collection.
Make waves and inspire others to be informed and take action to save what is left of American democracy.
