Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is holding a press conference Wednesday morning to respond to the Trump administration’s federal grant freeze. The White House directed federal agencies on Monday evening to pause the disbursement of loans and grants while the government conducts a review to ensure spending aligns with President Trump’s agenda.

Sen. Chuck Schumer revealed his significant, behind-the-scenes role in persuading President Biden to drop out of the presidential race.

This is all awful. How is freezing all these funds going to help families pay for groceries? How is it going to make neighborhoods safer? How is it going to create new jobs? Of course, it won’t,” said New York Senator Chuck Schumer.

The White House rescinds its order to freeze federal grants after facing legal challenges and nationwide confusion.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) shared harsh words about President Donald Trump after the president announced plans to freeze federal funding.

The federal agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination, the EEOC describes itself as a bipartisan commission comprised of five members, all appointed by presidents. On Tuesday, a law firm posted on social media that it was representing Charlotte Burrows, a commissioner who had been fired on Monday by the Trump administration.

The question was when, not whether, Trump’s funding freeze would face a legal challenge. A group of Democratic state attorneys general answered soon after.

The OMB memo had directed federal agencies to pause grants and loans pending a review of compliance with the agenda of President Donald Trump.

Schumer said said he received nonstop calls with concerns that this could shut down critical operations and cancel construction projects.

Donald Trump put a temporary pause on federal grants and halted foreign aid, among a slew of other efforts, to cut down on the federal government.

The freeze on hundreds of billions of dollars of federal grants had been temporarily halted by a judge on Tuesday.
