House Appropriations Committee and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Subcommittee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro is raising the alarm on President Trump’s reported plans to sign an illegal Executive Order to dismantle public education – a move right out of the Project 2025 playbook. Elon Musk has already taken the first step to dismantle the Department of Education by canceling more than 100 education contracts and awards supporting special education, teacher recruitment, and other topics. This move from Presidents Musk and Trump will hurt children, students, families, and parents in every corner of the country.
President Trump’s Administration is imposing a new policy to cap indirect costs for National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grants at 15 percent, which would cut billions of dollars in funding for life-saving research to develop cures and treatments for diseases. Under the leadership of House Appropriations Committee and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Subcommittee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro, Congress enacted a provision that has been included annually in appropriations bills since 2018 that explicitly prohibits any Administration from making these changes.

The legislators also demanded answers from the Trump Administration on the funding freeze that has impacted Medicaid, Head Start and other vital services in their states.
