Freeze on federal funds under Trump order disrupts early childhood education, Medicaid payments.

President Trump's order to freeze federal grants and loans led to difficulties for early childhood education centers and states in accessing crucial funding for programs like Medicaid and Head Start. Staff faced issues with payment websites, causing concerns over payroll and vendor payments. The freeze sparked legal challenges and was temporarily halted by a federal judge until February 3. The White House later clarified that essential programs were not meant to be affected.
