Summary
House Democrats have scheduled an emergency caucus meeting on Wednesday to address Trump’s federal spending freeze, which halts grants, loans, and outlays affecting schools, hospitals, and nonprofits.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the freeze as “illegal” and announced a three-part counteroffensive involving appropriations, litigation, and communication strategies.
Democrats accuse Trump of diverting taxpayer funds to finance GOP tax cuts at the expense of working-class programs.
The sweeping scope of the freeze has drawn criticism from both Democrats and some Republicans for its potential harm to public services.
You know what, you’re right! The R’s are getting shit done, they’re executing their dream. It’s evil but they’re achieving their goals, unlike the D’s who don’t have a bigger plan, no vision and no execution. That’s the one thing I respect about the R’s. Their efficiency - fucking everything up in days. I mean it’s kind of impressive. I thought it would take us at least 6 months to get here. Boy o boy did I underestimate.
