True, but Project 2025 doesn't call for the states to stop sending their tax money to the federal government.
If the states are going to wait for this federal government to do its current job, it's a long wait. Take action to obviate it and starve it until it changes. π€·ββοΈ

If Trump says he will live by a deal, there is no expectation that he will live by that deal.
Ask the former contractors who all went bankrupt because Trump refuse to live by a deal by refusing to pay them for labor and materials.
As a Democrat, I wholly agree with this statement by the late Republican President. But the fact is, the current Republican Congress cringe over this philosophy, having slid so far to the right that I bet neither Reagan nor Lincoln would be part of the Republican Party.

"In July, three analysts who worked in INRβs Russia-Eurasia group were fired. Another analyst resigned."
In my experience, State Department's INR is the best of US intelligence. Therefore, Trump had them sacked.
Trump is an enemy of the US.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
