WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 order capped the most chaotic day for the U.S. government since Trump returned to office, with uncertainty over a crucial financial lifeline causing panic and confusion among states, schools and organizations that rely on trillions of dollars from Washington.

 
  • Funding freeze: A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked President Trump’s order to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans until they could be vetted to ensure they aligned with his plan to purge the government of what he calls a “woke” ideology. But the freeze order had already disrupted Medicaid and a variety of other programs, leaving millions unsure if they would lose access to jobs, services and health care.
