In a memorandum obtained and made public by the activist group Democracy Forward, the federal Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday rescinded its earlier memo

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s order to halt trillions of dollars in federal grants, loans and other financial assistance, which had been set to go into effect at 5 p.m. EST.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Tuesday that the freeze could cut $3 trillion in federal funding from programs that help the homeless, veterans, seniors, disaster victims and school children nationwide.

California is suing to block President Donald Trump’s federal funding freeze, which impacts programs including wildfire aid and food stamps.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to allow federal agencies to override state policies to maximize water amid the Los Angeles wildfires.

The Trump administration’s plan to implement a sweeping freeze of federal aid sparked immediate confusion, uncertainty and downright panic among nonprofits, local governments and other groups, many of which provide aid and services to some of the most at-need residents in Southern California.

Concerns arose that the freeze could affect California wildfire relief, particularly that from federal agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Trump has often criticized FEMA and has hinted at overhauling the agency.

Trump's order is premised on the idea that increasing Delta pumping would make more water available for the rest of California. But experts say its more complicated than that.

Cal Fire’s total base wildfire protection budget has nearly tripled over the past 10 years, from $1.1 billion in 2014‑15 to $3 billion in 2023‑24.

Following a Monday executive order from President Donald Trump that seeks to freeze all federal aid, California officials attempt to make sense of the chaos.

Hours before a Trump administration directive was set to freeze an estimated trillions in federal assistance, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Tuesday that he is among a coalition filing a lawsuit to halt the freeze.

It will be hard for President Trump to revoke FEMA funding — but a GOP-led Congress could slow down recovery in Los Angeles.
