  • Federal agencies across Washington are finding ways to keep funding frozen even after judges last month temporarily blocked the White House's effort to pause trillions of dollars in federal assistance.

The article from CNN, published on February 13, 2025, discusses a significant political and legal standoff over federal funding. Despite court orders mandating the release of funds for various programs, the federal government has frozen these allocations. This action stems from a dispute between Congress and the Executive branch, where Congress has passed spending bills, but the administration, citing budgetary constraints and policy disagreements, has refused to disburse the funds. This has led to widespread criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with legal experts debating the implications for the separation of powers. The situation has left numerous programs, including education, health, and infrastructure projects, in limbo, affecting millions of Americans. The standoff has escalated tensions, with potential government shutdowns looming if a resolution isn't reached soon.
