In an exclusive interview, Rachel Maddow interviews Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, former Democratic nominee for vice president, in his first interview since the election, about how the Donald Trump administration's ill-advised freeze of federal funds exposes the role of Project 2025 in the Trump administration's plans,

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz condemned Trump’s freeze on federal funds that state officials say put nearly $2 billion per month for police, health and childcare programs in limbo.

A federal judge has blocked a federal funding freeze ordered by the Trump administration, but not before Minnesota leaders could react to its possible implications.

The unilateral decision by President Donald Trump to temporarily freeze federal funding already approved by Congress threatens up to $1.9 billion in monthly funding in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin says she will "fight it at every step," in regards to President Donald Trump's plan to pause federal funding.

Prominent state leaders in Minnesota, including Gov. Tim Walz, will address President Trump's federal funding freeze set for Tuesday afternoon.

The governor's office said the freeze threatens $1.8 billion in federal funds usually allocated to the state each month.
