Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), will lead EPW Democrats in holding a spotlight hearing, titled “Freezing America’s Progress,” to expose how the Trump administration’s illegal funding freezes, pauses, and other actions to claw back congressionally appropriated funds are threatening essential infrastructure, undermining money-saving clean energy projects, and killing jobs nationwide. Not only is Trump’s chainsaw of chaos threatening to tank our economy and jeopardize U.S. global competitiveness, but he is also violating the Constitution.
