President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Michigan on Tuesday to mark the first 100 days of his second term, staging his largest public event since returning to the White House in a state that has been especially rocked by his steep trade tariffs and combative attitude toward Canada.

Democrats have tallied it up: The Trump administration has frozen, stalled or otherwise disrupted some $430 billion in federal funds 鈥 from disease research to Head Start for children to disaster aid 鈥 in what top Democrats say is an 鈥渦nprecedented and dangerous鈥 assault on programs used by countless Americans.

Another federal judge in Washington has expressed skepticism about the legality of a Trump administration executive order targeting a prominent law firm, saying he was concerned that the clear purpose of the edict was punishment. And the battle between Harvard University and the Trump administration鈥檚 freeze on its $2.2 billion in grants will stretch into the summer, with federal court arguments set for July 21 over the university鈥檚 lawsuit against the government.

The Latest:

Trump鈥檚 team has disrupted some $430 billion in federal funds, top Democrats say

The Trump administration has frozen, stalled or otherwise disrupted some $430 billion in federal funds 鈥 from disease research to Head Start for children to disaster aid 鈥 in what top Democrats say is an 鈥渦nprecedented and dangerous鈥 assault on programs used by countless Americans.

Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut on Tuesday released an online tracker that is compiling all the ways Trump and his adviser, Elon Musk鈥檚 Department of Government Efficiency, are interrupting the flow of federal funds, often going up against the law.

鈥淚nstead of investing in the American people, President Trump is ignoring our laws and ripping resources away,鈥 said Murray and DeLauro, who are the top Democrats on the Appropriations committees in Congress.

The tally is far from complete or exhaustive, the lawmakers said, but a snapshot in time. It comes in a rapidly changing political and legal environment as the Trump administration faces dozens of lawsuits from state and local governments, advocacy organizations, employees and others fighting to keep programs intact.

Trump made big promises and moved at frenetic speed. 100 days in, here鈥檚 what he鈥檚 done and not done

The weeks since Trump returned to office have been a whirlwind of activity to show Americans that his administration is relentlessly pursuing his promises.

With a compliant Republican-controlled Congress, Trump has had a free hand to begin overhauling the federal government and upending foreign policy.

As Trump hits his 100th day in office, his imprint is everywhere. But the long-term impact is often unclear.

Some of the Republican president鈥檚 executive orders are statements of intent or groundwork to achieve what has yet to be done.

Trump鈥檚 goals occasionally conflict with each other. He promised both to lower the cost of living and to impose tariffs on foreign goods, which will most likely increase prices. Other issues are languishing.

Very much unsettled is whether Trump has run up his scorecard lawfully. He has faced lawsuits over some of his actions, meaning much of what he鈥檚 done could be undone as cases play out.

Trump marks his first 100 days in office with a rally in Michigan, a state rocked by his tariffs

Trump is holding a rally in Michigan on Tuesday to mark the first 100 days of his second term, staging his largest public event since returning to the White House in a state that has been especially rocked by his steep trade tariffs and combative attitude toward Canada.

He will make an afternoon visit to Selfridge Air National Guard Base for an announcement alongside Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. He鈥檚 expected to speak at a rally at Macomb Community College, north of Detroit, allowing him to revel in leading a sprint to upend government and social, political and foreign policy norms.

Michigan was one of the battleground states Trump flipped from the Democratic column. But it鈥檚 also been deeply affected by his tariffs, including on new imported cars and auto parts.
