Chuck Darwin<p>White House illegally pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion </p><p>The White House budget office is ordering a pause to all grants and loans disbursed by the federal government, <br>according to a loosely worded internal memo, sent to agencies Monday, <br>-- creating significant confusion across Washington.<br>

The memo states its orders should <br>👉not be “construed” to impact Social Security or Medicare recipients, <br>and also says the federal financial assistance put on hold <br>“does not include assistance provided directly to individuals.”<br>
