Pocan Statement on Trump’s Latest Grift on The American People
MADISON, WI — Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) released the following statement after Donald Trump ordered an unprecedented and unconstitutional stop-payment on Congressionally appropriated funding:
“Just over a week after taking the oath of office, Trump, the Grifter-in-Chief, violated the Constitution again by halting funding for federal grants, loans, and other financial aid with zero warning and zero guidance. This abrupt and chaotic announcement has created an extraordinary amount of confusion and fear within communities across the country, and his actions put every single American at risk. From halting funds that combat the fentanyl crisis and suspending resources for community health centers to threatening school lunches for hungry kids and grants to assist homeless veterans, Americans will be left out in the cold as Trump prepares to hand the money meant to help people to the billionaires that cavort at Mar-a-Lago.”
“Trump doesn’t care how this will affect people like you and me. He is only working to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies. This reckless move will devastate every community across the country, and Republicans must join with Democrats to make sure Trump does not get away with this unconstitutional theft of American taxpayers’ own money. ”
