'Trump Plunged the Country Into Chaos!' Schumer Rages At Spending Freeze -- Calls it 'Project 2025 By a Different Name'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tore into President Donald Trump’s sweeping pause of federal grants on Tuesday, an order that stunned many in the country when it was issued the night before.

“Last night, President Trump plunged the country into chaos. Without a shred of warning the Trump administration announced a halt to virtually all federal funds across the country,” Schumer began at a presser, adding:

In an instant, Donald Trump has shut off billions, perhaps trillions of dollars that directly support states, cities, towns, schools, hospitals, small businesses, and most of all, American families. This is a dagger at the heart of the average American family in red states and blue states in cities in suburbs in rural areas.

It is just outrageous. Funds for things like disaster assistance, local law enforcement, rural hospitals, aid to the elderly. Food for people in need. All are on the chopping block in this new administration. Why? They need tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. And these cuts, they think will fund them. Every one of our offices has been deluged with calls from people who are in panic.

What is this going to mean? What if I have a hospital that has people on life support? What are we going to do? And just like the January 6th pardons, this decision is lawless, dangerous, destructive, cruel. It’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional. I spoke to my attorney general this morning. She’s head of the state Attorneys General Association, they’re going to court right away on this horror.

Schumer concluded by linking the order to the Heritage Foundation’s controversial Project 2025 agenda, which Trump denied he would implement during the presidential campaign. “This, plain and simple, this is Project 2025. Project 2025 by another name.

In Monotone, reading a scripted while clung to a podium, staring over his glasses out on the tip of his nose, never looking up? That kind of rage?

The complaining/lecture from Sen Schumer isn’t doing anything. His press conferences are fine but there’s no action unless it’s states Attorneys General filing suits.

But if you saw Gov Pritzker’s press conference yesterday, tackling issues & lies point by point, it laid out in basic speech what exactly was damaging & the ramifications. Behind the scenes the Attorneys General can do their thing, but if we’re gonna effectively fight back, I want a Pritzker event along with the courts.

Why didn't you acknowledge Pritzger there? And he's not the only one. This was from Jan. 6, and they're still fighting.

referencing project 2025 that few people know about, understand or care about.

Coffee getting more expensive? Trump's fault
Egg prices still rising? Trump's fault
Your medicare/medicaid/soc security payments screwed up? Trump's fault
Young US figure skating athletes die in tragic aircraft collision? Trump's fault
Pardoned J6 rioter commits further crimes? Trump's fault.
Can't get help when you call a federal gov't agency? Trump's fault
