DeLauro Applauds Temporary Block of Trump’s Unlawful Funding Freeze, Releases List of Programs and Services in Jeopardy
New Resource on the Republican Rip Off
WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro released a new resource highlighting some of the federal programs jeopardized by President Trump and Republicans’ unlawful freeze on federal payments.
“President Trump ran on lowering costs for the American people, but he has turned his back on them and made it more difficult for struggling families. His reckless actions will increase the cost of food, energy bills, housing, and health care—everything hardworking Americans depend on. I applaud U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan’s temporary block of President Trump’s unlawful freeze of payments for federal programs, but this is just the beginning of the fight. Trump and Republicans have thrown our nation’s households, classrooms, communities, and economy into total chaos,” said House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro. “Republicans are threatening to steal benefits from veterans. They are trying to take cops off the street and food out of the mouths of children. Life-saving research could come to a complete halt, all for the sake of an illegal power grab by the President, who is attempting to take total control over the federal government. The law is the law, and President Trump must reverse course to ensure the law is faithfully met and that funding commitments made to American families are delivered as intended. Additionally, I am calling on my colleagues in the Senate to vote no on Russ Vought’s nomination to be director of OMB. The Project 2025 author and mastermind of this unlawful freeze must be stopped.”
