Good statement. Dems should make this about Trump’s ‘deranged’ views, ‘ego’ and attack on the constitution.
U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich statement on federal grant freeze: "Trump is clearly willing to pummel New Mexicans and the American economy for his twisted and deranged agenda and fragile ego. But the Constitution is clear: the president cannot override, delay, or rescind Congress’s funding laws."

I hope dems don’t take the bait on this. It’s awful, but it won’t move the needle on a GOP senator’s vote.
It will be better to ask RFK Jr. nuts and bolts question about the dept he hopes to lead.
He knows how to be shameless, he doesn’t know how HHS works.
Show that! Don’t play on his turf.

SCOOP: RFK Jr. secretly recorded his second wife during their bitter divorce fight and in one conversation acknowledged he was "polygamous" and blamed her for that. One recording might have violated state law—in a messy saga that ended with her suicide.

He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize.
Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether?
