The withdrawal of the federal freeze was a stunning about-face for President Donald Trump’s White House, which has so far pushed the envelope to reshape the federal government in Trump’s mold, sowing chaos and confusion that comes with firing career civil servants, pausing foreign aid programs and offering federal workers a buyout.

Here's where things stand with funding for SBA loans, federal contracts, and other programs as White House doubles down on federal freeze.

The back and forth over the freeze order has many LI nonprofits bewildered over whether their federal funds will be cut.

The White House memo issued late Monday led to chaos and confusion as to what programs would be impacted by the freeze.

Supporters of climate, infrastructure, mortgage, tech, health, veterans' and other projects expressed alarm as tens of thousands of programs appeared possibly at risk.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said a temporary freeze on certain discretionary spending announced by his administration a day earlier was meant to give time to the government to identify instances of improper spending.
