Ali Velshi explains how Trump's reversal on his federal funding freeze memo after public pressure and backlash shows this administration can be resisted

The order that froze trillions of dollars of federal grants and loans was published without vetting by key officials in the White House.

The withdrawal of the federal freeze was a stunning about-face for President Donald Trump’s White House, which has so far pushed the envelope to reshape the federal government, sowing chaos and confusion in firing career civil servants, pausing foreign aid programs and offering federal workers a buyout.

A federal judge temporarily halted President Donald Trump's move to freeze all federal grants pending an analysis to root out "wokeness" in federal spending. But confusion reigned Tuesday in Chicago and beyond as leaders braced for serious potential cuts to an array of major programs.

That fight could become a constitutional clash over control of taxpayer money and expansion of executive power before the Supreme Court.

Here's where things stand with funding for SBA loans, federal contracts, and other programs as White House doubles down on federal freeze.

Trump issued federal funding freeze then rescinded it. Opposition says a freeze would risk serious damage to healthcare, education and public safety.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said a temporary freeze on certain discretionary spending announced by his administration a day earlier was meant to give time to the government to identify instances of improper spending.
