The Trump administration temporarily halted nearly all federal grants, loans, and other financial assistance to beneficiaries in a surprise move Monday to reassess federal spending.
The order came from the Office of Management and Budget in a memo to government agencies directing them to eliminate any federal funding advancing “Marxist equity, transgenderism, and Green New Deal social engineering policies” from their bureaucracies. The directive seeks to bring federal agencies into compliance with a flurry of executive orders from President Donald Trump prohibiting bureaucracies from promoting initiatives such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, among other policies.
