“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now... There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.”
Trump’s Actions Have Created a Constitutional Crisis, Scholars Say
Law professors have long debated what the term means. But now many have concluded that the nation faces a reckoning as President Trump tests the boundaries of executive power.

A federal judge has told the White House to stop ignoring orders to unfreeze billions in federal funding for projects around the country. If President Trump ignores THIS order -- and he well might -- then we are in a full blown Constitutional Crisis. #copolitics www.coloradopols.com/diary/209750...

80% of funding from the IRA goes to GOP districts—this is just one example. Congress passed this funding. It’s not Trump’s to stop on a whim. This is a violation of the law and basic decency. He will put people out of work & stop programs that help pay their bills. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of federal aid

These grants help communities in red states and blue states and support families, help parents raise kids, and lead to stronger communities.

We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc.
I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.
Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.
Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.
