Washington, D.C. — Today—on President Trump’s 100th day in office—Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, released a new tracker detailing how President Trump is freezing at least $430 billion in federal funding that Congress has promised to communities across America.
As President Trump marks 100 days in office, he, Elon Musk, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought are trampling over our nation’s laws and choking off critical investments that families, businesses, and local governments in every zip code are counting on.
In response, Congresswoman DeLauro and Senator Murray issued the following statement:
“While President Trump is pushing to pass massive new tax breaks for billionaires like himself, he is unilaterally blocking hundreds of billions of dollars in investments owed to the American people.
“Just one hundred days into office, President Trump and Elon Musk are continuing their unprecedented assault on our nation’s spending laws, and it is families, small businesses, and communities in every part of the country who are paying the price.
“Instead of tackling the cost-of-living crisis, President Trump is making it worse—blocking funding for Head Start centers, holding up funding to help families cool their homes this summer, cancelling programs to help feed kids in schools, ripping away funding for birth control and cancer screenings, and so much more.
“Instead of helping disaster survivors rebuild their lives after enduring the unthinkable, President Trump is blocking billions of dollars in relief.
“Instead of making our communities and our nation safer, President Trump is holding up public safety grants and critical investments Congress has made to strengthen our national security.
“Bottom line: instead of investing in the American people, President Trump is ignoring our laws and ripping resources away from them—insisting our country cannot afford to help families make ends meet at the same time he seeks over $5 trillion in new tax breaks for billionaires.
“No American president has ever so flagrantly ignored our nation’s spending laws or so brazenly denied the American people investments they are owed.
“Today, we’re publishing a new tracker to shine a light on President Trump’s vast, illegal funding freeze and how it is hurting people in every zip code in America.
“It’s time for President Trump and Elon Musk to end this unprecedented and dangerous campaign to block funding for cancer research, infrastructure projects, disaster relief, and so much more.

So, they don’t like it but there’s nothing they can do about it. That’s good.
LIARS!
And by the American People they mean those who are corrupt.
Blocking their graft, obviously.
He is giving it back to Americans through lower taxes and/or inflation.
$430 billion dollars, eh? How about just returning that money to the taxpayers from which it was confiscated?
The word “invest” is used FIVE times and they clearly don’t know an investment from a hole in the ground.
“Investment” must sound good to the rubes.
President Trump is freezing at least $430 billion in federal funding that Congress has promised to communities across America.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
is that all?
more work to do!
“owed”?
STOLEN...............
“Is we gettin’?”
Not a single dollar that has been lawfully passed in a duly-enacted budget with appropriations, has been “withheld”. uncontrolled slush-fund spending has been put on hold. That is a good thing.
But of course, these Democrats are experts at intellectual and emotional terrorism - making claims of catastrophic actions (that have never happened).
430 billion in fraud to Dem NGOs.
Better.
430 Billion Owed to Americans to support overthrowing the Trump Administration...
Cut off the grifters grift and they get a bit testy.
That money needs to be reinvested back into the country:infrastructure, research and development, manufacturing /industrial upgrade. They need to promote buying here and investing here.
Pres Trump and many taxpayers are onto the congress scams...IOW
I believe I would phrase it differently.
President Trump is blocking the theft of 480 billion dollars from the American people.
