On Friday, January 31, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) that temporarily halts the federal funding freeze, after Attorneys General from 22 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit challenging the executive action. The TRO will remain in effect until the Court rules on the Attorney Generals' underlying lawsuit. See the full text of the order here.
The House has passed on the Budget Resolution that was expected to see this week that would have included dollar amounts in the cut to essential services, Medicaid, and SNAP.
