Summary
A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on all federal grants and loans, which was set to begin Tuesday at 5:00 p.m.
The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan, pauses the freeze until February 3, with a hearing scheduled for Monday.
The funding halt caused widespread disruptions, shutting down Medicaid portals and Head Start programs.
Trump’s order sought to review agencies’ commitments to DEI and environmental policies.
Attorneys general from 23 states have sued to oppose the freeze.
Except it isn’t like California writes a check to DC every month. In order for California to stop sending money to DC then every employer with an employee in California would need to stop deducting federal taxes from everyone’s paychecks. I don’t think our (m/b)illionaire owners are going to allow that to happen.
