Trump Admin. Sued by Nonprofits Over US Grant Halt

The video discusses a lawsuit by a nonprofit coalition against the US government, aiming to block a memo from the Office of Management and Budget. The memo, issued by the Trump administration, broadly pauses federal spending on grants and loans, excluding Social Security and Medicare.
