Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District of Columbia Council are scrambling to address a financial crisis created when the Republican-controlled House of Representatives recessed without voting to fix a hole in the city budget. Now Bowser’s government has ordered a spending freeze on new hires, promotions, bonuses and contracts. An overtime freeze starts Sunday. The mayor expects to receive a plan for potential layoffs and furloughs by week's end. She also has invoked a 2009 law allowing the city to increase spending by 6%.

The cuts are just a fraction of the grants canceled by the National Endowment for the Humanities in recent weeks as part of the Republican administration’s deep cost-cutting effort across the federal government. But coming on the heels of a major federal boarding school investigation by the previous administration and an apology by then-President Joe Biden, they illustrate a seismic shift.
