AOC Condemns Trump’s Medicaid Freeze Amidst White House Chaos
New OMB guidelines require organizations seeking funding to report on their involvement with issues like environmental justice, DEI initiatives, and services to undocumented immigrants. While some programs like Medicaid, Head Start, and Pell Grants were initially declared unaffected, several states experienced access problems. Reports of system shutdowns, such as Florida’s Medicaid portal, emerged following the memo’s release. The connection between these outages and the new guidelines remains unclear, despite official acknowledgment of a portal outage.
