A federal judge will temporarily block President Donald Trump’s administration from cutting billions in federal dollars that support COVID-19 initiatives and public health projects throughout the country.
U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy, appointed by Trump in 2019 but first nominated by former President Barack Obama, in Rhode Island said Thursday that she plans to grant the court order sought by 23 states and the District of Columbia.
“They make a case, a strong case, for the fact that they will succeed on the merits, so I’m going to grant the temporary restraining order,” said McElroy, who plans to issue a written ruling later."...

Trump judge. Great pick Mr. President. I hope you pick better your second term.
Another local District judge overreaching and making a national executive policy change from the bench.
Sorry, judge.
Yesterday we just fired all the employees who know how to administer the grants.
Thanks for playing!
Lol.
Since that money is paid by the Treasury and Bessant reports to Trump. Good luck Mary. Computah says no.
The “blue slip” policy was still in place for district judges.
I’m glad to hear of the cuts, but I’m beginning to realize the thinness of my own understanding of these federal messes. If Congress allocated the money, wouldn’t they have to be the ones to rescind it? Or does it become executive when the funding goes to the CDC?
You create monsters by placating, appeasing, tolerating them. I cannot frikkin believe this is happening yet again.
Judge Mary
Nobody cares.
Trump Just just moving forward.👍🇺🇸
When you budget money at the beginning of the year does that mean you must spend it?
Lol.
Ignore it and force the SCOTUS to take it up!
Was it used? Trump could have canceled and nominated another.
That makes sense.
But can we trust them? Some, emphatically "yes" -- Thomas, Alito. Some, "maybe" -- Gorsuch, Kavanaugh. Some, "more unlikely than likely" -- Roberts, Coney Barrett. The DEI people who make up the remainder shouldn't even be there at all.
Where oh where did the money Trump allocated to build the wall, passed by Congress, finally, go when puppet Biden stole the election???????? Yeah.
Is AOL still a dial-up service?
Shut it, nappy boy.
She is an Obama stooge-judge.
As Republican Wildcat pointed out, "The “blue slip” policy was still in place for district judges."
The federal district court in Rhode Island is in the bailiwick of Sheldon "Whites Only" Whitehouse and Jack "Jerk" Reed.
Those two piles of Commie dogsqueezins would have never let a non-Lefty judge into that position.
America now ruled by out of control liberal judges appointed by Obama and his ilk.
Where did they find this skank. A skanky “district judge” from the city block of Rhode Island? ROTFL!
