New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) accused the Trump administration of "holding all the nation's hospitals and vital services hostage" as Medicaid portals across the country went down after the president's push to kill Congress-approved grants through an executive order.
The lawmaker said in a publication on X that Donald Trump intends to "seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires." "We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It's a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop," she added.
