The Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget released a new memo Wednesday rescinding a controversial memo issued late Monday that froze a wide swath of federal financial

Donald Trump’s move to pause trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans awakened widespread Democratic resistance to the new president’s second term that was felt Tuesday on Capitol Hill, in governors’ offices and in the race to helm the party’s national committee.

In their first unified opposition to President Trump, Democrats across the ideological spectrum accused him of preying on the nation’s most vulnerable citizens by denying them government aid.

Senate Democrats are demanding Republicans postpone a vote scheduled for Thursday on Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, after the budget office on Monday issued a broadly worded memo freezing large swaths of federal assistance.

Senate Democrats demanded President Donald Trump pull Russel Vought's nomination as the Office of Management and Budget director, who they say authored the administration's memo issuing a federal funding freeze.
