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.

    Remember Drump said he had never heard of 2025. The media protected and insulated him from dealing with reality. You want to blame someone but it is clear you are blaming the wrong people.

    Dishonesty is the Hallmark of the 21st Century I suppose. It is sad seeing people defend it though.
