New Democrat Coalition Leadership released a list of 100 disastrous actions taken by the Trump administration over its first 100 days, and issued the following statement on the impacts of these actions on the American people and the country:

Instead, Trump’s actions are increasing costs for hardworking Americans and destroying the economy through chaos and uncertainty.

And instead of standing up for those who feed and fuel this country, Congressional Republicans have doubled down by proposing billions in cuts to essential Farm Bill programs and nutrition assistance like SNAP...
