It was an odyssey that started after Trump’s inauguration last Monday. Shortly after he was sworn in, the president signed a slate of executive actions targeting “wokeness”

The order that froze trillions of dollars of federal grants and loans was published without vetting by key officials in the White House.

A federal judge temporarily halted President Donald Trump's move to freeze all federal grants pending an analysis to root out "wokeness" in federal spending. But confusion reigned Tuesday in Chicago and beyond as leaders braced for serious potential cuts to an array of major programs.

The new Trump administration’s effort to both get a grip on and dismantle the federal workforce has also been a dystopian farce. Michael Kosta could not believe this moment from the man President Donald Trump wants in charge of Health and Human Services.

That fight could become a constitutional clash over control of taxpayer money and expansion of executive power before the Supreme Court.

Federal agencies have been instructed to assess their financial aid programs to determine which ones might be impacted.

The Trump admin's federal funding freeze will not impact individual assistance going directly to Americans, Karoline Leavitt said during her first press briefing.
