Democrats Criticize Trump Administration Over Budget Freeze, Tariffs, and Treasury Controversy

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and progressive groups call out President Trump's recent actions, including rescinded spending freeze and Elon Musk's role in federal budget decisions.

President Trump faced backlash after issuing and then rescinding an Office of Management and Budget memo that froze federal loans and grants, causing widespread criticism.
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned Trump's actions, labeling them as early missteps and predicting a pattern of similar blunders in the future.
Progressive groups organized protests over Elon Musk's reported influence on the Treasury Department's payment system, accusing him of suspending payments and dismantling USAID programs.
Schumer emphasized a strategic approach to opposing Trump, focusing on specific nominees and policies rather than reacting to every controversy.
Critics within the Democratic Party called for stronger and more unified resistance, urging Senate Democrats to adopt obstructionist tactics to counter Trump's agenda.
