Trump's Spending Freeze Frozen, Then Rescinded

After the Democrats caused mass hysteria and confusion, and a lawsuit was filed, the OMB backtracked.

Over the last week, President Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders. Several of those orders demand that the government stop funding certain activities:

• Protecting the American People Against Invasion

• Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid

• Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements

• Unleashing American Energy

• Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing

• Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government

• Enforcing the Hyde Amendment

As a result of these orders, on January 27, the OMB issued a memo demanding that all federal agencies pause spending on anything covered by those EOs.
