Share:

Trump's administration issued a memo to pause all federal loans and grants, affecting trillions of dollars in financial assistance. The move is linked to the conservative manifesto Project 2025 and is intended to enforce the president's agenda. Critics argue that it will have a devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of grant recipients and undermine essential programs in education, healthcare, and anti-poverty efforts. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the move, but its legality remains in question.
