Rep. Steven Horsford, a U.S. Congressman representing Nevada's 4th district, has expressed his concerns regarding recent actions by the presidential administration through a series of tweets. His comments focus on constitutional authority and the role of Congress in controlling funding.
On January 28, 2025, Rep. Horsford tweeted: "The Constitution is clear: Only Congress controls funding, not the President. I am fighting back to protect hardworking taxpayers." This statement underscores his stance on the separation of powers and fiscal responsibility.
Later that day, he further elaborated on his position with another tweet: "In just 8 days, this administration has plunged the nation into a constitutional crisis, with a federal judge temporarily blocking his reckless and unconstitutional freeze on federal grants and loans. This dereliction of duty and overreach of presidential power must be stopped." In this post from January 28, 2025, he criticized what he perceives as an overreach by the executive branch.
On January 29, 2025, Rep. Horsford shared his perspective on public sentiment towards the administration's actions: "American people: 1 Trump: 0 It’s Week Two and this administration is already retreating because good and decent Americans reject cruelty and chaos." This tweet reflects his belief that public opinion is turning against the current administration's policies.
