Here’s a Bluesky thread that indicates this situation is still insanely convoluted. It has a very unfortunate first sentence. It should read something like “WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just made things more confusing…” and I edited out the sarcasm/humor in the first post. It’s overkill.
WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just clarified on X that the rescission of the OMB memo was simply to get the federal court case to go away, not lifting the funding freeze on anything that goes against Trump’s EOs
I don’t think anybody understands what’s going on. It seems to me she’s saying that the new memo is magic. It’s just a couple sentences but it’s a poweful incantation. Abrahacabra! Everything put forth by the original toxic memo can go ahead as planned. And the federal court case goes away. But not only is she not a wizard - she has no political power at all. She’s just somebody at a podium who says shit.
I can’t even imagine what next Monday will bring about the freeze. More memos? Or maybe a new superseding but not superseding EO that might kinda sorta is modifying or nullifying the first EO?
At least the democrats response is easily predictable. They’ll put forth tons of hot air yet do nothing at all.
