On January 28, Brownley criticized President Trump's decision to freeze all federal grants.

"The White House list of programs paused by Trump's unconstitutional executive order is deeply concerning."

She criticized House Republicans for spending time at a Trump resort in Doral, Florida instead of addressing the consequences of the funding freeze affecting millions of Americans.
