Trump lost the first battle', but NYC pols warn they're ready if president tries another federal funding freeze | amNewYork
Briefly

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand fiercely criticized President Trump for his recent attempt to freeze all federal funding via executive order, highlighting how it undermines Congress's authority over federal spending. Although Trump rescinded the order, Gillibrand expressed concern about potential future attempts, emphasizing the importance of safety net programs for vulnerable populations. She asserted that Trump's actions represent a continuous threat to Americans' welfare and noted the legal hold on the freeze, calling for public education about the impacts such funding cuts would have on communities in need.
President Trump may have lost the battle in attempting to freeze all federal funding last week, but New York City pols warned Sunday that they're ready to fight any future attempts on his part to try again.
Though the president backed down this time, she believes he will try once more to put a halt on all federal funding.
We know one thing about President Trump: he cannot be trusted...he is still waging this war against the American people and against these safety net programs that keep Americans stable.
Our most vulnerable communities rely upon these funds for support services, from fighting hunger to providing shelter for our underprivileged.
