One of the most visible signs of how President Donald Trump is trying to reshape the federal government is his call for federal employees to return to the office full-time. On his first day, Trump signed an executive order that called for an end to remote work and later that week, agencies were instructed to end their telework policies.
The acting budget director directed federal agencies to ensure that grants and programs are aligned with the Trump administration's priorities.
When the White House budget office released a memo this week that instructed all federal agencies to cease spending on any financial assistance programs pending internal review, the fate of the nation's largest public health insurance program was propelled into question.
The Trump’s administration’s Office of Management and Budget released a memo Wednesday rescinding a controversial order that froze a wide swath of federal financial assistance, which had paralyzed many federal programs and caused a huge uproar on Capitol Hill.

The Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget rescinded its memo to freeze federal aid spending, just one day after issuing it. The freeze, announced Tuesday, halted nearly all federal grants, loans, and other financial assistance to beneficiaries.
Memo, sent by Youngkin’s chief of staff John Littel Tuesday, acknowledges that some aid portals were briefly shut down as federal agencies scrambled to implement Trump’s executive orders.
