The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded a memo Wednesday that had ordered a “temporary pause” on federal funding and unleashed major confusion across the country.
Why it matters: It’s an astonishing reversal by the Trump administration, a day after top officials defended the funding freeze — which a judge temporarily halted on Tuesday — as necessary to ensure all government spending was aligned with the president’s vision.
Controversial I know, but I think saying “hey we’re not going to recklessly break the country and sell off the peices to our rich friends” does make you better than the person who will just break stuff.
Either way the protest votes still had 0 effect on the results of the election.
