Later on January 29, Rep. Cleaver criticized the President's executive orders for creating "mass chaos and confusion," vowing to oppose efforts that could defund essential services such as community health centers and veteran support programs. He remarked: "As the President sows mass chaos and confusion with his unconstitutional executive orders, I will continue to push back against his extreme effort to defund everything from community health centers to veteran support programs."
