Trump’s Freeze on Grant Funding Temporarily Halted by US Judge A federal judge in Washington has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a new directive to halt payments of federal grants, loans and other assistance to an array of programs across the country.

Stopped for now. There's been all kinds of pushback all day, and this judge's halt to their power grab just happened. Do not dismiss either the seriousness of what happened or the impact of the strong reaction by.... www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
