Frankfort, Ky -- On Jan 28th, Kentucky Democratic Party (KDP) Communications Director Jonathan Levin released the following statement after Donald Trump ordered an unprecedented freeze of all federal grants and loans.

“Donald Trump just made an unprecedented and reckless move that will inflict unimaginable pain across our Commonwealth. This sweeping freeze jeopardizes basic programs that Kentuckians depend on to survive. Programs like LIHEAP, which keeps families warm during the winter, and SNAP, which helps them put food on their tables, as well as FEMA relief for our communities still recovering from tornadoes and flooding, are all at risk.

“Kentuckians deserve stability and compassion, not this Republican-driven chaos that will inflict pain on our families.”
