Summary
A federal appeals court denied the Trump administration’s request to pause a lower court order that temporarily lifted a broad freeze on federal funding.
The freeze stemmed from an Office of Management and Budget memo implementing Trump’s executive orders but was blocked after 22 states sued, arguing it exceeded presidential authority.
The administration sought an emergency stay, but the court found no legal justification.
Both sides must submit further arguments before a final decision. A hearing on a permanent injunction is expected later this month.

Once Musk has infiltrated the government’s payment system it won’t matter what the courts decide. He’ll just shut off the money. He knows that’s where the power is.
And what are they gonna do? They’ve dismantled the justice dept and they can cut funds of anyone else who challenges them.
The stupid thing is Trump thinks he’s in control, but it’s Musk who will have the power to fuck him royally. And Trump will be the one who gave it to him.
Man if they trigger the collapse of $36 trillion in treasuries they ain’t shutting anything off

Oh wait. You have a slim ass majority and probably can’t get this through. I guess you don’t really have a mandate.
