Senators’ phones have been ringing off the hook with nonstop calls from hospitals, police departments, volunteer firefighters, food pantries, drug treatment centers, on and on and on.
In the dark of night, Trump shut off billions—maybe trillions—that support small businesses, families, police officers, firefighters, hospitals, schools, and more.
Why?
To fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
American families should make no mistake.
With Trump’s decision to halt virtually all federal grants and loans:
The money being taken from them will be spent, just not on them.
Instead of going to your support your community, it’s going to the ultra-wealthy.
Trump’s decision to halt virtually all federal grants and loans is a blatant assault on our constitutional system, and today we are seeing the ways it will inflict severe harm on the American people.
Trump’s decision to halt federal virtually all federal grants and loans is lawless, destructive, dangerous, and cruel.
It is illegal.
It is unconstitutional.
It’s nothing less than Project 2025 by another name.
Congress must act.
The blast radius of Trump’s terrible, unconstitutional, and illegal decision to halt virtually all federal grants and loans is virtually limitless.
And its impacts will be felt over and over and over again by families and communities across the country.
It will mean missed payrolls and rent payments and everything in between: chaos for everything from universities to non-profit charities, state disaster assistance, local law enforcement, aid to the elderly, and food for those in need.
Donald Trump’s administration is jeopardizing billions upon billions of community grants and financial support that help millions of people across the country.
Congress approved these investments and they are not optional, they are the law.
These grants help communities in red states and blue states and support families, help parents raise kids, and lead to stronger communities.

They say this is only temporary, but no one should believe that.
Donald Trump must direct his administration to reverse course immediately and the taxpayers’ money should be distributed to the people.

More lawlessness and chaos in America as Trump’s administration blatantly disobeys the law by holding up virtually all vital funds that support programs in every community across the country.
If this continues, the American people will pay an awful price.

By handing out these pardons to convicted criminals found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police Officers on January 6th, Trump is effectively saying:
'You want to attack our brave police officers? That’s okay.'
'You want to try to thwart our democracy? Fine by me.'

For all the talk Donald Trump does about standing up for law and order, he spent the first few days in office doing the opposite.
He pardoned lawless rioters who invaded the Capitol and attacked police officers on January 6th.

I am standing with every single Senate Democrat to move to condemn Donald Trump’s pardons of criminals found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police Officers on January 6th.
Senator Murray will take to the Senate floor this week:

President Trump conducted a “midnight massacre” of federal government, nonpartisan, independent watchdogs.
An Inspector General’s job can be boiled down to transparency and accountability. And they save taxpayers money by rooting out fraud.
This is what President Trump is apparently afraid of.
President Trump owes American families some answers about what he is going to do about the high price of eggs that’s being exacerbated by Bird Flu.
Our north star is to ease the burden on American families, to help them pay less for things, have more money in their pockets, and have better lives.
Nothing could be further from that goal than Trump nominating Russell Vought as head of OMB.
Our competitors are going to use every single opportunity they get to overtake the US’s lead on the technologies of the future.
We have to lead the way.
