White House revokes spending freeze in face of legal challenges

The spending freeze threw the government into chaos as the White House ordered 55 federal agencies to examine more than 2,500 grant programs in an effort to cut off support for diversity programs and other policies opposed by Trump.

I’ll thought out, and illegal. Sums up most of Trump’s initiatives.

"I, for one, am glad to have a president in the White House who is delivering on his promise to get our fiscal house in order," said Tom Emmer

‘Delivering on his promise’ is a funny way to say backpedaling. Don’t count your chickens before you chicken out.

Shows Trump up for the weak man he is.

President Donald Trump's administration pulled back a proposed spending freeze that threatened to disrupt hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to U.S. programs, a White House official said on Wednesday.

"Winning!", as the MAGA NPCs would say.

Congress holds the purse strings. That’s the only thing stopping a president becoming a monarch.

Ouch Dumpster!! Haha!

Promises made, promises broken, MAGA doesn't care, on with the circus.

"Winning!", as the MAGA NPCs would say.

While i do know what NPC means, I prefer to interpret it as Not Particularly Clever.

Trumps claim about $50 million in condoms going to Gaza about as truthful as "they are eating cats " claim.

Not reproductive/family planning aid went to Gaza and no condoms at all went to the Middle East on the back of any US funding.

Lies made...lies exposed.

The left plays checkers Trump plays 3d Chess! Nothing is actually being stopped! More lying from the far left media!

shameful that they lied about what was being looked into. The biggest lie that Medicaid was stopped!

The dems tried to send §45 million to Burma for DEI scholarships! lol guess what Trump ended that! The amount of waist the dems pushed! It’s mainly money laundering schemes

Remember, Trump and Melinia are in the WH for themselves as they are getting rich over the Trump/Melinia BitCoin while leaving the Trump following suckers holding the bad and losing their life savings over this legal scam.

Nothing is actually being stopped! 

If by that you mean they lied about revoking the order, yeah you might be right.

The White House said Trump will sign an executive order that would revoke student visas for college students and other non-citizens who took part in anti-Israel protests that roiled college campuses last year.

Imagine being this pro-Israel.

Trump is cleaning house just wait until they freeze the money going to all these far left NGO’s! There will most likely be arrest made as well!

Separately, the White House said Trump will target pro-Palestinian student protesters for deportation in a sign that he is broadening his immigration crackdown to include people based on their political views.

One can only hope he goes through with this!

At least stop fueling the war against Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy. This is my belief and opinion. No need to agree to it, or accept it.

But he's not a fascist.

Look at all that gloating above over…basically nothing lol

heeeee can’t stop Democrats wasteful spending (yet)! Is that your best win so far? If so, that’s sad.

Also a bunch more new great things listed in the article, did you see all those?

Winners doing winning, coming through!

One can only hope he goes through with this!

“broadening his immigration crackdown to include people based on their political views.”

That’s ok is it? Legal residents being deported because of their political views?

The ‘free speech, right to protest, release the J6 political prisoners’ party want to persecute people for their political views. I see.

the chaos is from not having any adults at all. last time, the adults kept him in check. well, as much as they could until they couldn’t stand him anymore and started quitting.

when fools like steven miller are bowing at the feet of trump and acting as a spokesman for the administration, you know things are going to be haywire.

it was particularly telling when the president secretary said she was going to always tell the truth, then told the whopping lie that $50 million was going to gaza for condoms.

every day will be another car crash.

hey autocorrect, it’s press secretary, not president secretary.

That’s ok is it? Legal residents being deported because of their political views?

you mean non citizen guests in our country with student visas who repay our kindness by protesting against us?

these people aren’t “residents”.

they can go back home and take online college.

Winners doing winning, coming through!

Trump is a true warrior!

Just say NO to Meals on Wheels, land mine cleanup , and cancer research!

these people aren’t “residents”.

They reside in the United States. That makes them residents.

Or are you going to take us on another fascinating semantic journey?

you mean non citizen guests in our country with student visas who repay our kindness by protesting against us? 

these people aren’t “residents”. 

‘us’? They were protesting against you?

You seem confused.

Yes, they are residents.

Would you like to be kicked out of Japan for expressing your political beliefs? I’m sure you wouldn’t.

They reside in the United States. That makes them residents. 

It actually doesn’t.

they staying there on a short term visa while going to school.

us’? They were protesting against you?

yes, us.

and our foreign policy.

Im American.

I think anyone anywhere has a right to protest or express their beliefs publicly, but you do you.

There are certain Japanese laws that make it illegal for foreigners to protest in Japan.

This "article" is itself fake news.

The media reported that President Trump rescinded his federal spending freeze on Wednesday.

However, the White House clarified that Trump did not rescind the federal funding freeze.

“It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction.”

“The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented,” Karoline Leavitt added.

Get the facts straight AP & JT

Testing the waters again and checking public reaction.

Paddling back already, good ol' Donny.

Put even more pressure on him - no more golfing (was it already 3 days during his 7-day-reign?).

And more and more voices are already for yet another impeachment - the votes are in!

And that new "press secretary" - what's her name again, oh, yeah, Leavitt, she yet another joke / loser / sugar daddy hunter!

... ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Hampshire's 1st district .... losing in the general election to Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas.

Those who support her are  Lauren Boebert, Ted Cruz, and her mentor Elise Stefanik. (figures)

Illegally accepted campaign donations over the legal limit and never repaid her donors.

Was an instructor for Project 2025's "Conservative Governance 101" training program.

I'll refrain from adding even more, not just on her but the whole Trump administration!

Haters gonna hate. Trump is busy doing - doing great and wonderful things for the US.

Based on publicly available data, the cumulative total of U.S. humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank since 2020 is as follows:

October 2023: $100 million

June 2024: $404 million

September 2024: $336 million

Total: $840 million

Among these, there have been millions spent on contraceptives, so whether the claim of 50m on condoms is true or not, it is factual that some was spent on contraceptives. Either way, the Biden administration pissed away billions of US taxpayer money like he was playing Monopoly.

I'm glad the new administration is cutting the fat from government spending.

More "caving" after implementing clearly dubious and inept decisions...

Trump 2.0 - all failure, all the time...

Exactly what cost them the election.

I think what cost them the election is the inflation and a perceived bad economy, about which Trump is doing... absolutely nothing.
