Trump orders pause to all federal grants and loans

WASHINGTON, USA – Donald Trump‘s White House ordered a pause in all federal grants and loans starting on Tuesday, January 28, a sweeping decision that could disrupt education and health care programs, housing assistance, disaster relief and a host of other initiatives that depend on billions of federal dollars.

In a memo on Monday, January 27, the acting head of the Office of Management and Budget, which oversees the federal budget, said the money would be put on hold while the Trump administration reviews grants and loans to ensure they are aligned with the president’s priorities, including executive orders he signed last week ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Matthew Vaeth, the acting director, said the use of federal resources for policies at odds with the president’s agenda “is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.”

US issues broad freeze on foreign aid after Trump orders review

The memo said the freeze included any money intended “for foreign aid” and for “nongovernmental organizations,” among other categories.

The White House said the pause would not impact Social Security or Medicare payments or “assistance provided directly to individuals.” That would presumably spare food aid for the poor and disability payments, though it was not clear whether health care programs for veterans and low-income people would be affected.

The OMB memo asserted that the federal government spent nearly $10 trillion in fiscal year 2024, with more than $3 trillion devoted to financial assistance such as grants and loans. But the source of those figures was not clear — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated government spending in 2024 at a much lower $6.75 trillion.

The memo is the latest directive in the Trump administration’s campaign to dramatically reshape the federal government, the nation’s largest employer.

In a blizzard of executive actions last week, the new president shuttered all diversity programs, imposed a hiring freeze, sent national security officials home, ordered a pause in foreign aid and sought to strip away job protections from thousands of civil servants.

The spending freeze ordered by OMB takes effect at 5 pm ET (2200 GMT) on Tuesday. Agencies have until February 10 to submit detailed information on any programs subject to the suspension.

Democrats challenge ‘unlawful’ move

The federal government provides money to a broad swath of nonprofits, many of which reacted with dismay.

“This order is a potential five-alarm fire for nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve,” Diane Yentel, president & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, said in a statement. “From pausing research on cures for childhood cancer to halting food assistance, safety from domestic violence, and closing suicide hotlines, the impact of even a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives.”

Democrats immediately challenged Trump’s action as unlawful and dangerous.

In a letter to Vaeth late on Monday, US Senator Patty Murray and US Representative Rose DeLauro, the top Democrats on the congressional appropriation committees, said the order was “breathtaking, unprecedented, and will have devastating consequences across the country.”

“We write today to urge you in the strongest possible terms to uphold the law and the Constitution and ensure all federal resources are delivered in accordance with the law,” the Democrats wrote.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said the administration did not have the authority to halt spending that had been approved by Congress and that the order, if implemented, would harm millions of Americans.

“It will mean missed payrolls and rent payments and everything in between: chaos for everything from universities to non-profit charities, state disaster assistance, local law enforcement, aid to the elderly, and food for those in need,” Schumer said in a post on X late on Monday.

US Representative Tom Emmer, the No. 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, said Trump was simply following through on his campaign promises.

“You need to understand he was elected to shake up the status quo. That is what he’s going to do. It’s not going to be business as usual,” Emmer told reporters at a Republican policy retreat in Miami. – Rappler.com

Women’s football star ‘violates rival’s intimacy’ with sick gesture and vile comment during on-pitch scuffle

A SPANISH woman footballer is at the centre of a storm after touching a rival’s private parts and appearing to say ‘Have you got a ‘d**k?’ during a brief pitch bust-up.

TV cameras clearly picked up the moment Barcelona defender Mapi Leon deliberately touched Espanyol footballer Daniela Caracas’ genitals as the alleged sex assault victim prepared to defend a corner during a fiercely-contested derby match yesterday.

Spanish media and social media amateur lip readers reported the slur 29-year-old Leon, capped more than 50 times by her national team, fired off at Colombian-born Caracas during a brief push-and-shove struggle before and after the extraordinary crotch grab seemed to be ‘Tienes picha?

The offensive expression would translate into English as ‘Have you got a d**k?’

Barcelona’s city rivals Espanyol today released an official statement criticising Mapi Leon’s actions and vowing to support Daniela if she decided to press charges.

The Catalan club said in a statement, calling Mapi Leon by her full name Maria Pilar Leon: “We would like to express our total discontent and condemnation of the events that took place yesterday during the derby match between RCD Espanyol and Barcelona FC at the Dani Jarque stadium.

“It is an action that we consider unacceptable and that should not go unnoticed.

“During the match, the FC Barcelona player María Pilar Leon, in the middle of a struggle with our player, Daniela Caracas, made a gesture that violated the player’s intimacy.

“At the time Daniela was unable to react because of the impact caused by the situation.

“Later on when she assimilated what happened she became aware of the seriousness of the gesture, but chose not to react angrily to avoid a disciplinary sanction and harm the team.

“In addition to what happened on the pitch, there has been a regrettable reaction on social media, where our player has been the target of insults from hundreds of profiles.

“We are concerned that, instead of focusing on the act itself, part of the media attention has been diverted to other issues unrelated to its seriousness.

“RCD Espanyol defends our player and condemns any act that threatens the integrity of the players on the pitch.

“We firmly believe in respect and sportsmanship as fundamental values in football and we hope that this type of situation will be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

“Furthermore, we have made the club’s legal services available to our player should she wish to take legal action.

“Likewise, as RCD Espanyol has done on previous occasions, we wish to express our rejection of any form of violence, whether physical or verbal in the world of football.

“Sport should be a place of respect and coexistence, and we condemn any attitude that encourages hatred or aggression on and off the pitch.”

Barcelona and the player at the centre of the controversy have not yet offered any official reaction.

Espanyol lost 2-0 to the league leaders, with a 73rd-minute goal from Graham Hansen and another three minutes later by Salma Paralluelo.

Mapi Leon was one of the footballers who said she didn’t want to play for her country again unless there were structural changes in the Spanish FA following the scandal unleashed by the kiss Luis Rubiales gave Jenni Hermoso after the 2023 women’s World Cup and his initial refusal to resign.

The former Spanish FA president is currently on trial for sexual assault and coercion over the kiss Jenni says was unwanted.
Critics were accusing Mapi Leon of double standards today.

One said: “This is really serious. I hope it finishes in a court of law.”

Another said: “I hope they take measures like they did with Rubiales.

“A sexual assault is where there’s no consent right?”

Vinnie Jones famously squeezed Paul Gascoigne‘s lunchbox during Wimbledon‘s 0-0 draw with Newcastle in February 1988.

It was caught on camera and went on to become one of the most iconic photographs in the history of English football.
