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.
Found out
All he found out was another name to add to the purge list. He’s gonna ignore it all and keep going. Even if the SCOTUS tells him they are not going to back him up, they have already given up all enforcement capability with their immunity decision.
The sole (lawful) remedy is impeachment. He can ignore the courts and Congress entirely as long as a majority of the House (or just 34 Senators ) let him.
Well that’s not true at all. Wait until California stops sending funds to DC for constitutional breaches and failures. Can’t pick and choose without consequences.
That would play into his hands. He wants to fuck up the federal government and blocking a significant chunk of tax income would help with that.
He doesn’t want to reduce the budget overall, but rather limit spending and direct that money to his rich owners and “friends”.
He would prefer that, but he’d gladly take anything that damages government organizations. Remember he’s the kind of guy that would rather destroy something than let someone else get any benefit out of it. If he doesn’t profit from it in some fashion it’s a target.
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.
What world do you live in? Not only has Donald never experienced any real consequences, he has consistently been rewarded.
