	"description": "The last two days have been even more chaotic and counterproductive. On Monday, the Trump administration froze all federal aid to communities. Yesterday they clarified, and today they walked back their freeze for things like school breakfast and Medicaid because of the pushback from people like us. We need to remind everyone in Congress—Democrats and Republicans—that what happened is not OK. Not only is the new president violating the law by pausing funding that Congress already passed, he’s also hurting people in every corner of the country, including in red states. Let’s be clear about the chaos and harm Trump’s freeze will do unless Congress stops him: Medicaid portals have been shut down, jeopardizing healthcare for people across the country, and they will continue to be unreliable. Kids who rely on school meals will go hungry and families who rely on SNAP will face even steeper challenges to break free from poverty. Students and adults with disabilities could lose critical funding. Essential services like public safety, disaster relief and food inspections are at risk. Programs like Head Start, K-12 and higher education supports, and child nutrition are also on the chopping block. National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health grants to universities and medical schools fund important research on curing cancer, fighting diabetes and reducing opioid addiction. This research benefits all Americans.",
