Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.
Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.
Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.
We must stop him.

Trump fired the EEOC General Counsel AND at least two Democratic commissioners last night. This is unprecedented—presidents do not fire commissioners as a rule. He’s really crossing the Rubicon here. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/b...

The removals of the commissioners, along with the general counsel, was part of a whirlwind of actions since Mr. Trump took office, with many aiming to gut diversity policies.
