Yeeaaahhhh this isn't nearly as panic inducing as this headline makes it out to be. The government has filed a sworn affidavit from Pete Moracco stating that the "blanket funding freeze" is incorrect and that they've resumed significant numbers of programs.

NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power. That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
