A first-term House Democrat is attacking White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on X after she sought to clarify a White House memo rescinding an earlier policy statement on President Donald Trump's federal funding order.

The White House Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday rescinded a memo that froze federal grants and loans and created widespread confusion this week.

The White House remains committed to freezing federal grants and loans aimed at “woke" programs, Fox News has learned, despite the administration’s move to rescind the original Office of Management and Budget memo — effectively ending the legal battle and any “confusion" for Americans.

The freeze on hundreds of billions of dollars of federal grants had been temporarily halted by a judge on Tuesday.

Jessica Tarlov knocked Jesse Watters over his sarcastic remark on federal workers that have been offered buyouts by the president's administration.

The new memorandum, just two sentences long, will allow agencies to continue their normal operations after uncertainty over the impact of the initial directive caused widespread chaos across government. It followed a temporary injunction by a federal judge that prevented the original Office of Management and Budget memo from taking effect.

Karoline Leavitt’s debut White House press briefing comments about condoms and the truth also drew intense scrutiny.

The OMB memo had directed federal agencies to pause grants and loans pending a review of compliance with the agenda of President Donald Trump.

In the first national tragedy of his second term in the White House, President Donald Trump wasted no time Thursday baselessly blaming Democrats and diversity initiatives in the federal government for the midair collision that killed 67 people over the Potomac River.

When asked how he reached his conclusion, the president said “because I have common sense, okay? And unfortunately, a lot of people don’t”.
