Trump's sweeping changes to federal government spark legal and congressional challenges

Donald Trump has initiated significant changes in the federal government, including plans to abolish a major humanitarian agency and freeze mandated spending. Critics argue these actions challenge the separation of powers and may lead to legal confrontations. Trump's Republican Party controls Congress but is focused on tax cuts and immigration, showing little interest in checking the president's authority. Democrats, facing criticism for their slow response, are beginning to organize against Trump's actions but have limited power as the minority party. Legal challenges against Trump's policies are expected to escalate, with over two dozen lawsuits already filed. Analysts note that Congress has gradually ceded power to the presidency, raising concerns about the implications of Trump's executive actions.
