A sweeping directive from the Office of Management and Budget requires federal agencies to subject hundreds of grant programs to ideological litmus tests.

The Trump administration isn’t complying with a judge’s order to unfreeze $3 trillion in federal funds, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said.

The withdrawal of the federal freeze was a stunning about-face for President Donald Trump’s White House, which has so far pushed the envelope to reshape the federal government, sowing chaos and confusion in firing career civil servants, pausing foreign aid programs and offering federal workers a buyout.

Several executive orders Trump signed last week pause or end some federal funding. Those executive orders, which remain in place, include the freezing of foreign aid, all funds to federal grantees who received money for DEI-related purposes and all funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act.

A U.S. federal judge on Monday extended a temporary block on the Trump administration's spending freeze. Why it matters: District Judge Loren AliKhan expressed concern in her order that the Trump administration was still enforcing the spending freeze despite the temporary restraining order.

President Donald Trump‘s opponents celebrated when his administration rescinded a memorandum to freeze federal aid spending and saw the action blocked in court, but White House officials think they could have the final word.
