WASHINGTON – Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) released the following statement today on the Administration’s sweeping order directing agencies to withhold federal funding provided by Congress:
“The Administration’s immediate halt of federal funding would devastate hardworking Marylanders.
“Countless have already called my office today afraid of what this means for them, for their kids, for their families.
“Let’s be clear. These funds support our local police departments that keep our communities safe, hospitals that keep people alive, food programs like SNAP that feed hungry kids, veterans in need of housing after serving this nation, and more.
“Public service is about trying to make people’s lives better. Not ripping away critical resources Americans rely on. The Administration needs to clean up this mess immediately and reverse course.”
