Left gets a federal judge to block Trump funding freeze

After lying and fearmongering all day, the left has found a federal judge that would do their bidding and block President Trump’s temporary funding freeze of federal grants and loans. The point of the freeze was only to ensure all funding complies with Trump’s executive orders.

The judge’s name is Loren L. AliKhan and she is a Joe Biden appointee.

Here’s the news:

A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked a push from President Donald Trump to pause federal funding while his administration conducts an across-the-board ideological review to uproot progressive initiatives.

The Trump administration plan plunged the U.S. government into panic and confusion and set the stage for a constitutional clash over control of taxpayer money.

The order from U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan came minutes before the funding freeze was scheduled to go into effect. It lasts until Monday afternoon and applies only to existing programs.

Administration officials said the decision to halt loans and grants — a financial lifeline for local governments, schools and nonprofit organizations around the country — was necessary to ensure that spending complies with Trump’s recent blitz of executive orders. The Republican president wants to increase fossil fuel production, remove protections for transgender people and end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

But a vaguely worded memo issued by the Office of Management and Budget, combined with incomplete answers from the White House throughout the day, left lawmakers, public officials and average Americans struggling to figure out what programs would be affected by the pause. Even temporary interruptions in funding could cause layoffs or delays in public services.

Trump administration officials said programs that provide direct assistance to Americans would not be affected, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, student loans and food stamps. They also defended the funding pause, saying Trump was following through on his promise to turn Washington upside down if elected to a second term.

I hope Trump’s DOJ quickly appeals this ruling so the freeze can be reinstated to keep taxpayer money from being spent on “Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies.”
