BREAKING: "White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion" 
									– The Washington Post | 
								
							
						
						Friend,
						Donald Trump's administration just announced a freeze on all federal grants.
						This decision will affect everything from universities to non-profit charities to local law enforcement to aid for the elderly. Make no mistake: the American people are the ones who will have to pay an awful price for this chaos.
						This decision is not only dangerous and cruel -- it's also illegal and unconstitutional. 
						Let's be clear: This federal funding is not optional. It is the law. Congress approved these investments to help people across the country -- in red states and blue states.
Even though a federal judge blocked Trump's plan for a few days, this fight is far from over.
						Join Chuck in demanding the Trump Administration immediately reverse course and end this unconstitutional freezing of federal grants. Sign our petition today: 
						
						Thank you,
						Schumer HQ
