“A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans that could total trillions of dollars,” the AP reports.
“The administrative stay pauses the freeze until Monday.”
Washington Post: “The decision arrived on a day of vast confusion and chaos in Washington, where few appeared to understand the scope and intention of a White House memo that had directed agencies to ‘temporarily pause’ the disbursement of key funds.”
“Even before it officially took effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday, thousands of government services — totaling billions of dollars and dedicated primarily to Americans’ health, safety and well-being — appeared to be at risk of shutting down, at least temporarily.”
