More to the Story re: Recent Executive Order on Federal Funding

According to NBC news, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said the OMB memo was “pulled back,” but the administration’s efforts to stop federal funding remains. 

On January 29, NBC reported that Karoline wrote on X, "This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. 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."

Here is a summary of the events via the New York Times. In other words, stay tuned…
