Despite Trump's best efforts to rein in federal spending and hold agencies accountable for the use of their funds for federal loans, grants, and non-profit assistance, a federal judge has halted the forward momentum of these endeavors spearheaded through Trump's executive order. [Tweet]
A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily paused part of the Trump administration's sweeping directive to pause federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, granting a win to advocacy groups who said the policy would be devastating.
U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ordered the Trump administration not to block funding to existing programs until Feb. 3 at a hearing in Washington, D.C., federal court.

The Judge's order is illegal and will not stand. The Trump administration will ignore it.

Ever notice that when a Republican president does something the 'Rats don't like, within HOURS they get some lefty judge to order an injunction..... but when a 'Rat president does something that the Republicans don't like, it takes them a couple of MONTHS to get around to trying to stop it, if ever.

Unbridled spending is devastating, as is double digit inflation.

I like #1's idea. Freeze the funding for her court. Then have congress follow up with approval. She will be sitting in a dark office all by herself.

Did you ever wonder who got to these Judges and asked them to do things like this.
Pretty sure she didn't read that Trump held up this giveaway and then decided to stop him.
Someone got to her.

"being devastating" is a feature, not a fault. The judge should stick to law and not sentiment.

Now with the Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress, they need to pass the "Stay in Your Lane, Bro" Act to limit the powers of "imperial judges" who overstep their authority. No more Hawaiian or DC district judges who think they can act like emperors who have more power than the President over the entire country!

This action by the Democrats to run to a liberal Democrat appointed leftist judge to slow down, or completely sabotage Trump’s Presidential agenda is not out of the Democrat political ordinary these days. As the Democrats doing that is one of the prime ways the Democrats intend to slow down of stop Trump’s agenda and is just another form of Democrat law fare.

I knew I would see the words Judge, freeze, and stay together again and that didn't take long at all.

Com'on folks....President Trump told US he expected many court challenges to his programs...remember last presidential run...45...he fought for months to build the wall and then suddenly he got the wall up and running...not all of it...but...he was tied up in court for a long time....the advantage he now holds is....he's been put through the court wringer for years...and his field of lawyers are getting very good at presenting his position....
