Supreme Court, for Now, Blocks Order for Admin to Unfreeze Aid

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in U. S. foreign aid by an 11:59 PM deadline.

• Chief Justice John Roberts announced the high court's decision to hold the ruling from U. S. District Judge Amir H. Ali, pending further evaluation.

• Judge Ali's ruling came after a lawsuit by nonprofits and businesses against the federal government's freeze on foreign aid.

• The Trump administration had initiated a freeze on foreign assistance following an executive order aimed at cutting what was described as wasteful programs.

• On Wednesday, the administration disclosed plans to cut over 90% of contracts from the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID), impacting $60 billion in assistance.

• The administration argued that these cuts are necessary to eliminate waste and are in line with its foreign policy.

• Reports indicate Trump and Elon Musk's teams are rapidly terminating aid contracts, halting numerous U. S. funded programs overseas.

• Nonprofits dependent on these contracts claim that the terminations are being performed hastily without thorough review, attempting to bypass the order to temporarily lift the funding freeze.

• Senator Chris Murphy criticized the administration's approach, asserting it undermines Congressional and judicial oversight.

• The Trump administration declared it would eliminate thousands of long-term USAID contracts and State Department grants, prompted by a court order to expedite decisions regarding foreign aid.

• By the end of the day, the administration began processing some overdue payments after a month of inactivity.

The situation surrounding U. S. foreign aid remains contentious as the Supreme Court's intervention holds off significant funding releases while the Trump administration aggressively pursues cuts to overseas assistance programs.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
