A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the actions of the Trump Administration that drastically and indiscriminately reduce staff at Federal agencies, freeze vast swaths of critical Federal funding, and dismantle Federal agencies are destructive and harmful to communities across the United States and have raised costs for American families.
S. Res. 324 is a Senate resolution (non-binding) introduced in the 119th Congress expressing the Senate’s sense that the Trump Administration’s actions—drastically cutting federal staffing, freezing substantial federal funding, and dismantling federal agencies—have been destructive and harmful to communities nationwide and have increased costs for American families. The resolution is a formal statement of opinion, not a law, and it calls for the Senate and the Administration to focus on policies that protect families, lower costs, support veterans, preserve scientific research, expand access to health care, and foster economic growth through support for small businesses and innovation. It was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and lists multiple sponsors. The text outlines extensive prior actions and their alleged impacts across a broad set of federal programs and services, including health care, housing, education, research, veteran services, workforce development, and foreign aid, arguing that disruptions and funding freezes harm communities and undermine public health, safety, and economic stability.
