In a swift reversal, President Donald Trump's budget office retracted an order that froze federal grant spending. The decision, initially enacted earlier this week, led to widespread confusion and legal challenges across the nation before being withdrawn, according to two anonymous sources familiar with the situation.

The order from the White House Office of Management and Budget had put a hold on crucial financial resources for states, educational institutions, and organizations dependent on federal funds – sparking uncertainty and causing the White House to rapidly manage the fallout.

Democrats swiftly applauded the order's rescission. Senator Patty Murray of Washington described it as a testament to American voices making a difference, though she criticized the administration's actions as indicative of incompetence, ill intent, and legal disregard, which sowed chaos among millions of Americans.
