What's next after a judge halts Trump's budget freeze? A study indicates cannabis may impair working memory. Brittney Griner went to Dream.
A federal judge temporarily halted the White House’s federal funding freeze just minutes before it was set to take effect yesterday, leaving lawmakers, public officials, and everyday Americans scrambling to understand which programs would be impacted.
After hearing arguments from nonprofits and public health organizations, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan issued a “brief administrative stay,” pausing the suspension of funds until at least Feb. 3, when another hearing is scheduled.
Across the country, staff reported difficulties accessing payment systems for Medicaid and the early childhood education program Head Start. The White House assured the public that the affected portals would be restored “shortly.” Here’s what to know about other impacted programs.
The ruling is expected to face further legal battles, with some lawsuits potentially citing the Impoundment Control Act, which limits presidential authority over federal spending. Notably, Trump’s nominee for the budget office has argued that the law is unconstitutional.
