Well, that was quick – the Trump administration reversed itself and rescinded an executive order that froze massive amounts of funding that affected kids, seniors, and military service members. Gee, who’d have thunk folks would have a problem with that?

From the New York Times:
The White House rescinded an order on Wednesday that froze up to trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans and sparked mass confusion across the country.
The initial directive interrupted the Medicaid system that provides health care to millions of low-income Americans and sent schools, hospitals, nonprofits, research companies and law enforcement agencies scrambling to understand if they had lost their financial support from the federal government.
A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked the order in response to a lawsuit filed by Democracy Forward.
