Federal Grants and Contracts May Be Cut

Any suspension or termination would be carried out consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
Attorney General to Name Cashless Jurisdictions
Within 30 days of August 25, 2025, the Attorney General must give the President a list of States and local jurisdictions that have, in the Attorney General's opinion, substantially eliminated cash bail for crimes that pose a clear threat to public safety. The list must cover offenses including violent, sexual, or indecent acts, burglary, looting, and vandalism, and the Attorney General will update the list as necessary.
