| « Just 100 days after taking office, President Trump and Ilon Musk continue their unprecedented attack against the laws on the cost of the nation and the families. Small businesses and communities in every part of the country pay the price, » said Murray and De Lauro in a statement. |
« No US president has neglected the laws on the cost of the nation, nor has it so brazenly refused the US people. »
The White House and Musk did not respond to the requests for comment.

These findings will be publicly published in a tracking system that will take into account the minimum amounts that committees believe that the administration is freezing or conducting court disputes for blocking, said the Commission Assistant.
The refusal of the administration to spend the funds approved by Congress is to challenge the US Constitution, which gives congress control over costs, the legislators said.
Trump challenged this idea during his election campaign, as well as the current manager of the management and budget office RoS Vote.
The US Supreme Court has also twice upheld the restrictions on presidents of presidents unilaterally reduce costs.
