Trump’s Funding Pause Faces Legal Challenges

President Trump is advancing his "America First" agenda, making significant changes to how hundreds of organizations receive federal funding. A funding pause, scheduled to take effect earlier today, was temporarily halted after a federal judge issued an injunction. The court now has until Monday to review arguments from a nonprofit seeking a restraining order. This announcement caused confusion among various states and organizations. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that benefits like Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps would remain unaffected, but the move still sparked backlash from both political sides.
