WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) introduced a resolution in the Senate opposing the Trump Administration’s funding cuts and freezes to critical programs all while Republicans push to give more tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. These cuts have affected programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, making it harder for Nevadans to access much-needed services. The cuts have also dismantled federal agencies and resulted in the firing of experienced federal staff, causing immediate and widespread harm to communities in Nevada and across the United States.
“Donald Trump’s reckless funding freeze and cuts to programs that American families rely on have dire consequences,” said Senator Rosen. “These wrongheaded actions are hurting Nevadans who rely on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, and so many other critical programs. I’ll keep pushing back on Donald Trump’s efforts to harm our communities.”

Senator Rosen has repeatedly pushed back against President Trump’s federal funding freeze, hiring freeze, and terminations in Nevada. She demanded answers from the Acting Social Security Administration Commissioner on the planned relocation of a Social Security office in Las Vegas. She also voted against Trump’s reconciliation bill that cut both food assistance and medical care, and his rescissions bill that cut public broadcasting. This week, she demanded that the Trump administration release $7 billion in K-12 education funding.
