A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to stop its U.S. Agency for International Development spending freeze, giving the government an 11:59 p.m. deadline on Wednesday to pay “all invoices and letter of credit drawdown requests” for work done prior to February 13.

The White House announced it will choose which news outlets get to cover President Trump in close quarters or in events with limited access.

Now, the Donald Trump administration has thrown out that system in a brazen attack on the principles of American democracy and the free press, in favor of one in which they handpick their favorites and — more importantly — block those who are asking uncomfortable questions or refusing to toe the party line.
