“A federal judge in Washington on Monday extended a temporary ban against President Donald Trump’s sweeping pause on trillions of dollars in federal spending while she weighs a lawsuit challenging its legality. U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan, who issued the ruling, cited the otherwise ‘catastrophic’ impact on millions of Americans who receive vital resources from the government including food and medical assistance, disaster relief and grants for preschools and small businesses. AliKhan said the Trump administration ‘offered no rational explanation’ for freezing all federal aid virtually overnight.” (02/03/25)
