As a top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, I will never stop fighting against this dangerous dismantling of health and Human services and its agencies which is jeopardizing the health, the safety and the well being of millions of America's families. This administration is unlawfully impounding or stealing funds and dismantling agencies, depriving the American people of the programs and services which Congress has created, authorized and appropriated funds for. The Constitution confers the power of the purse, the power to make appropriations in law to the Congress. It is right there. It's Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7. (00:32–00:50)
