>The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a copy of a new memo obtained by The Washington Post, after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash.
>In a memo dated Wednesday and distributed to federal agencies, Matthew J. Vaeth, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, states that OMB memorandum M-25-13 “is rescinded.” That [order, issued Monday, instructed ](https://archive.is/o/7wPAC/https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/27/white-house-pauses-federal-grants/)federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all federal financial assistance.”
In some book published by a Trump staffer in 5 years, we’ll learn all about how this happened.
Surely a team met with Trump to discuss budget cuts and Trump just said “Cancel it all” and they all said “Yes sir great idea you’re a genius. Can you shit on some bread for me? I’m hungry for one of your tasty shit sandwiches”
Democrats need to go out there and shout, to anyone that listens, that this was a victory of sensible governance against the insanity of carelessly done whatever. Not that the White House is *compromising,* doing everyone a favour with this 180.

Their justification was that they had to pause it to figure out where all the money was going. They must have stumbled upon the rigorous documentation that shows where every government grant goes because it takes 3 minutes to google it, so now they can unpause it since they got to the bottom of that

I wonder if they’re going to rework it and issue a new order on stronger legal ground.

There is no master plan. These people are clowns.

WE HAVE ROOTED OUT THE WOKE DEI AND WILL RESUME FUNDING

But like for real, what was the thought process behind this?
This actually works psychologically – people give people credit for undoing the bad things they’ve done.
I know it’s stupid but we have to remember, people are stupid.
