While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Wow, it's almost like Trump is enacting a radical, incredibly unpopular agenda that he never mentioned or explicitly denied during the campaign, and the Democrats and press are so mentally committed to servile accommodationism that they're pretending he has a sweeping mandate for that agenda!
I didn't anticipate the public health freezes. Did anyone? Was anyone in Trump world boasting about this ahead of time, like they did everything else? Stopping government from doing things in our system is much easier than making it do things you want, even things like banning a vaccine.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
