Democrats and Republicans asked the new Secretary of State to release the funding and he agreed, BUT much of the aid still isn't flowing.
Every hour this aid doesn't resume threatens lives.
This is unacceptable and tragic.

10 days in to the Trump Admin…and it’s chaos.
Congressionally-approved funding for domestic & foreign aid has been FROZEN by Donald Trump.
This includes money for fighting infectious diseases that could threaten Americans to global humanitarian aid like FOOD & WATER that saves countless lives.
I am shocked and heartbroken by the tragic plane crash at National Airport in D.C. last night. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones.

Impacts on New Jerseyans will be felt in the hours, days, and weeks ahead. My office is committed to doing everything we can to support people, but I strongly urge the Trump administration to consider the harm they are already doing.
State Universities – A significant portion of the budget for our state universities are funded with federal dollars. Outside of providing an education, these universities oversee invaluable research, employ thousands, and are pillars of our state.
Domestic Violence Shelters - Federal funding for hotlines, shelters, and legal counsel for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault is frozen. If this continues, there will be reduced resources for those looking to leave abusive situations.
Firefighters – Federal grants pay for trainings and equipment that ensure firefighters can do their job to protect lives and property across New Jersey.
Community Health Centers – 578,000 New Jerseyans currently receive care from community health centers. As we deal with the spread of the flu, RSV, norovirus, and other infectious diseases, our health centers may not make payroll in just a few weeks.
Veterans – Many programs in our state that provide meals and support to our homeless veterans are immediately in danger of running out of funding. Families of veterans may see a pause in rental assistance and other support.
All day, my office has fielded calls regarding the funding for programs and services that Trump has unconstitutionally sought to freeze. Here are just some of the communities in New Jersey facing the consequences of the administration’s recklessness. 🧵
Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional funding freeze puts federal funding passed into law by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress in jeopardy. It is already having devastating consequences. Its costs will be borne by everyday Americans.
Our government and institutions are in desperate need of more transparency and accountability, not less. Trump’s illegal firing of more than a dozen Inspectors General will allow government corruption and abuse to go uninhibited. Congress must act to ensure power is held accountable.
The United States spends more on health care than any other country, but we still have the highest rate of maternal mortality among our peer countries. On Maternal Health Awareness day, I am committed as ever to pushing our government to act to bring down maternal mortality.
We should be doing more to lower drug prices for seniors, not less.
Just as I have with every president, I will continue to fight for what matters most to New Jerseyans, and do all I can to protect the freedoms and liberty of all Americans.
Every day the words and actions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspire millions across this country. The work he did throughout his life has changed our country for the better and will continue to inspire people around the world to work toward his dream.
I hope my colleagues across the aisle continue to find ways to carry this impressive legacy forward.
- Historic recovery from a pandemic
- An economy where unions can flourish and opportunity for all is closer than ever before
- Unprecedented investments in infrastructure
- The free world united around the principles of democracy and liberty
