Trump White House rescinds freeze on federal grants, reversing course

[krichton]

Just to be clear, they're only rescinding the memo and not the freeze, which is a distinction without difference. They're still going ahead with the freeze, which is why this will be stopped by the courts.

Trump White House rescinds freeze on federal grants, reversing course​

I guess the new administration is Tired of winning. It can't be that the courts are now involved, can it? Was it all a game?

Hearing that The budget office came under immense pressure over the impacts of a sudden pause in key government spending. Is this a cave-in to realities?

Jeb Bush was correct: Chaos Candidate will be a Chaos president.

The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a copy of a memo obtained by The Washington Post, after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash.

In the memo distributed to federal agencies, Matthew J. Vaeth, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, states that OMB memorandum M-25-13 “is rescinded.” That order, issued Monday, instructed federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all federal financial assistance.”

The White House order freezing federal grants caused mass chaos and confusion across Washington, appearing to imperil government programs that fund schools, provide housing and ensure that low-income Americans have access to health care. States reported issues accessing funds under Medicaid, and even as of Wednesday, public housing authorities reported being locked out of their funding portal. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that assistance for individuals would not be affected.

The blonde said today they rescinded the memo that was put out but not the freeze. Much confusion going on at the WH. Keystone cops.

All they have to do is slow walk it. Most of those waiting on their grifting handouts will go broke waiting.

I see this “freeze” as Trump’s testing the waters for a later assault on Medicaid

Biden said he already defeated Medicaid/Medicare.

I'm so mean always rubbing Dems noses in Biden's stupidity.

He actually backed down? The no apology, never admit you're wrong President actually backed down, admitting he screwed up!

Bigly unbelievable!!!

I haven't seen where he admitted he was wrong, I don't EVER expect to see that.

Much ado over nothing. You got nothing. You and Astroturf can go pee up a rope.
Things are getting vetted.
That's what's happening.

Isn't vetting supposed to happen BEFORE you stomp all over the rights of others?

You just calm down, your best interests are being looked after, how about that?

IOW Trump negotiates from a position of power. Soi Boi

Surly you jest:

Following the 2020 U.S. presidential election, former President Donald Trump and his allies filed 62 lawsuits across multiple states, challenging various aspects of the election process, including vote counting and certification procedures. Of these, 61 were unsuccessful, either dismissed by the courts or withdrawn by the plaintiffs. These legal challenges were concentrated in key battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The majority of these cases were resolved within a few weeks after the election, with many courts issuing swift rulings due to the lack of substantial evidence supporting the claims. For instance, by November 19, 2020, more than two dozen legal challenges had already failed.

Yo', dude............

White House says Trump funding freeze remains in effect despite rescinding OMB memo​

• The White House formally rescinded a controversial memo that had ordered a freeze on federal grants and loans.
• But the White House also said a “federal funding freeze” remains in “full force and effect” to give agencies time to review programs for their compliance with President Donald Trump’s agenda.
• The freeze, which had been set to take effect late Tuesday afternoon, was paused Tuesday by a federal judge to give her time to consider arguments challenging its legality.
• The memo ordering the freeze had been issued by the Office of Management and Budget.

“The President’s [executive orders] on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented,” Leavitt wrote.

Let Congress figure it out but federal spending has to be cut.

A prime example is 50 million bucks for condoms. Good grief

Would you be surprised to learn that there is zero evidence that a single condom has ever been shipped to Gaza, much less 50 million dollars worth, which when purchased in bulk by USAID would cost 5 cents a piece, which works out to 1 billion condoms. Did the US really send 1 billion condoms to Gaza? Cmon, it's a gross lie. No one should expect anything else coming out of the Trump white house.

You've figured it out but didn't realize you did

Isn't USAID a CIA front organization?

It's not the Trump White House sending $50 billion to Gaza, moron.
That's USAID stealing American taxpayer money to give to the palestinians for rockets and bombs.
There are no rubbers. There's just money and things Palestinians want to buy to kill Jews with.
