'Gotten out of hand': GOP rep rebels against Trump after he withholds money for his district.

One of President Donald Trump's Day One executive orders that flew under the radar is provoking significant pushback from Congress — including from at least one House Republican.

The Atlantic reported Tuesday that Trump is now apparently violating Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution with an executive order pausing the disbursement of federal funds already appropriated by Congress. On January 20 — the same day Trump pardoned January 6 insurrectionists and attempted to repeal birthright citizenship — Trump issued an executive order entitled "Unleashing American Energy."

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who represents a purple district in the Omaha area, told the Atlantic that Trump's executive order was "alarming," particularly for his constituents, who were counting on $73 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to upgrade Omaha's airport.

"You just can’t determine what laws you want to execute and what you don’t," Bacon said, adding that executive orders from presidents representing both parties have "gotten out of hand."

'Reads like a hostage note': Trump order flagged as 'massive fraud' by ex-official

"This is cruel," Spiro wrote. "A sampling of funding potentially affected in health care: all opioid prevention funding, all mental health funding, funding for community health centers, suicide prevention and the suicide lifeline, HIV/AIDS treatment, grants to states to address avian flu."

Spiro believes that Vought, a conservative activist and Project 2025 architect who is Trump's nominee to lead the agency, was exerting improper control over the office he has not yet been Senate-approved to lead.

"In sum, Russ Vought is illegally carrying out his ideological agenda with greatest harm to the most vulnerable — including many in the working class and rural communities who voted for Trump," Spiro wrote. "A massive fraud."
