Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer sought to pour cold water on President Donald Trump's push to kill Congress-approved grants following a new executive order.
"Congress approved these investments and they are not optional; they are the law," Schumer said in a statement on Monday night. "It will mean missed payrolls and rent payments and everything in between: chaos for everything from universities to non-profit charities, state disaster assistance, local law enforcement, aid to the elderly, and food for those in need," Schumer added in a publication on X.
