New memo, White House response adds to confusion on federal funding freeze : NPR

The Office of Management and Budget has rescinded its call for a pause on federal assistance, according to the agency’s memo shared by Democracy Forward, which led a legal challenge over the effort. But the White House said that only the original memo calling for the freeze had been rescinded.
The new memo says the heads of executive departments and agencies should contact their general counsels “if you have questions about implementing the President’s Executive Orders.”
“Facing legal pressure from our clients and in the wake of a federal judge ruling in our case last evening, the Trump-Vance administration has abandoned OMB’s ordered federal funding freeze,” Democracy Forward said in a statement. “We are proud of our courageous clients — who represent communities across the nation — for going to court to stop the administration’s unlawful actions.”
But Caroline Leavitt, the White House spokeswoman, told reporters that the move simply meant a recession of the memo.
She said efforts to “end the egregious waste of federal funding” will continue. She said the OMB memo has been rescinded “to end any confusion on federal policy created by the court ruling and the dishonest media coverage.” The administration expects that rescinding the memo will end the court case against it.
After widespread confusion from the initially very broad memo calling for a halt in federal assistance, pending review, the White House tried Tuesday to further clarify which programs would not be affected, later specifying that it would not impact Medicaid and SNAP programs, for example.
This latest statement from the White House is likely to add to the confusion rather than clarify it.
Wednesday’s developments follow a federal judge’s order Tuesday that temporarily blocked the effort to pause federal payments for grants and other programs.
Under the original OMB memo obtained by NPR, a temporary pause in funding was set to take effect Tuesday evening, but a senior administration official said that the pause could be as short as a day if an agency determines its programs are in compliance.
The official said the directive should not be interpreted as a full funding freeze. The official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the internal memo, said that agencies are supposed to review their grants, loans and programs to ensure that they align with the new administration’s priorities.
Administration officials have insisted that the impacts are misunderstood, but the actual text of the memo is far-reaching and the follow-up guidance has been vague. On Tuesday afternoon, the White House issued a fact sheet that said “the pause does not apply across-the-board” and that “any program that provides direct benefits to Americans” — like Social Security, Medicare and food stamps — “is explicitly excluded.”
The spending memo quickly drew legal challenges on Tuesday.
The nonprofit organizations that won the temporary stay Tuesday had claimed in their filing that the memo “fails to explain the source of OMB’s purported legal authority to gut every grant program in the federal government.” The groups also said that the memo failed to consider the interests of grant recipients, “including those to whom money had already been promised.”
Shortly after the decision by the federal Judge Tuesday, a group of attorneys general from 22 states and the District of Columbia filed a separate challenge in federal court.
Congressional reaction
The order provided an early litmus test for just how willing Congressional Republicans would be to cede their power of the purse in deference to the leader of their party – even temporarily.
The order came late Monday night, as House Republicans were gathered at an annual conference in Trump’s backyard at his Doral golf course and resort.
And, by and large, most Congressional Republicans who spoke about the memo said it was a means to an end to implement Trump’s agenda, which is his prerogative.
House Speaker Mike Johnson called it “an application of common sense,” and said it would “be harmless in the end.”
At least one person at the retreat, Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., said a heads up would have been helpful.
“How are we supposed to defend [it] if we don’t know what’s coming out and what it really means? And I’ve got constituents calling so it’s just part of life,” he said.
Back on Capitol Hill, North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer acknowledged the move questions the authority of Congress, but said he wasn’t concerned.
“[Trump’s] testing his own authority,” Cramer told reporters Tuesday afternoon. “He’s getting some guidance that presidents have more authority than they’d traditionally used.”
Cramer said he supports a pause to reevaluate spending, although he said the move will likely face legal challenges and called the decision a “major test of separation of powers.”
Idaho Sen. Jim Risch put it more bluntly.
“For all of you who haven’t noticed, this is a different day in Washington, D.C.,” he told reporters Tuesday.
In a recent memo released by the White House, there has been added confusion surrounding the federal funding freeze. This new development has left many wondering about the implications and impact on various programs and services.The memo, which was issued by the Office of Management and Budget, outlined a temporary freeze on federal funding for certain programs and initiatives. However, the White House response to questions about the memo has only added to the uncertainty and lack of clarity surrounding the issue.
Many are wondering how this freeze will affect critical services and programs that rely on federal funding to operate. Additionally, there is concern about the potential long-term consequences of this decision and how it will impact the most vulnerable populations.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential for policymakers and stakeholders to work together to address the confusion and uncertainty surrounding the federal funding freeze. Stay tuned for more updates and developments on this important issue.

Ohio power company adds new surcharge to customers who pay bill from bank without autopay
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WKRC) – An Ohio-based power company added a surcharge to customers who pay their bill from a bank account without autopay.
According to WFMJ, FirstEnergy Corp, an electric utility company and parent company of Ohio Edison, has added a surcharge to its customers who are paying their monthly bill from their checking accounts.
When speaking to the station about the new policy, a FirstEnergy spokesperson explained that its new third-party electronic payment processor, ACI Speedpay, is charging the business a 50-cent per transaction fee for one-time payments.
Those who used their bank routing numbers but were not signed up for autopay were previously not charged any service fees by Ohio Edison.
The following residential customers who are enrolled in auto payments will not be charged fees, per WFMJ:
- Those using AutoPay Credit Card programs
- Those using AutoPay Bank Account programs
- Commercial customers who are enrolled in the AutoPay Bank Account program
“By processing electronic payments through a third-party vendor, we can more seamlessly maintain compliance and better serve our customers by continuing to offer additional payment options,” the Ohio Edison spokesperson told WFMJ.
According to the station, Ohio Edison will now offer more ways to pay, including PayPal and Venmo.
If you’re an Ohio Edison customer who has questions or concerns, you can contact the company by calling its customer service line at 1-800-633-4766 or send an email through its official website.

Woman of Tomorrow Adds David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham
David Krumholtz, who was recently part of the all-star cast of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and British actress Emily Beecham have joined the space-faring cast of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which Craig Gillespie is directing for Warner Bros. Discovery arm DC Studios.
The feature, which began shooting this week in DC’s UK production hub of Leavesden, is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic book mini-series and stars House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock playing Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman.
It’s unclear how faithful the script by Ana Nogueira is to the comic, which eschewed the traditional good vs. bad tropes and instead was a cosmic character piece, spanning many worlds and alien cultures. The Eisner-nominated 2021 story was told from the perspective of a young alien girl named Ruthye who enlists the aid of Supergirl is a quest of revenge against Krem of the Yellow Hills, the man who killed her father.
Eve Ridley is on the call sheet as Ruthye while Matthias Schoenaerts is Krem. Jason Momoa is due to cameo as alien bounty hunter Lobo.
Krumholtz and Beecham will play Supergirl’s parents.
The project was one of the first features developed by DC Studios, headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran. The duo unveiled as part of the initial slate. Alcock was picked as Supergirl almost a year ago and will first appear in Gunn’s Superman movie. Supergirl gets underway this winter and will shoot in the UK.
Krumholtz has been acting since his teenage years, notably appearing in The Santa Clause movies and later starring for six seasons in CBS crime drama Numbers in the late aughts. He played Nobel Prize-winner Isidor Rabi in Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Beecham may be best known for starring in Netflix’s mind-bending series 1899 and appeared in the Guy Ritchie thriller The Covenant with Jake Gyllenhaal. This month, she co-stars in historical epic William Tell.
Krumholtz is repped by Paradigm and Brookside Management while Beecham is repped by CAA and Entertainment 360.
Exciting news! The upcoming sci-fi film Woman of Tomorrow has added two talented actors to its cast – David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham. Krumholtz, known for his roles in The Deuce and The Santa Clause films, is sure to bring his trademark charm and wit to the project. Beecham, who recently starred in the critically acclaimed series Little Joe, is a rising star with a knack for bringing depth and complexity to her characters. With these two onboard, Woman of Tomorrow is shaping up to be a must-see film. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.21 Adds DLSS 4 on PC and Additional Fixes
CD Projekt has announced that patch 2.21 for Cyberpunk 2077 is rolling out to players on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The brunt of the changes are largely fixes for photo mode, as well as DLSS 4 support for PC players.
While patch 2.2 added a much deeper look at customization in photo mode, 2.21 adds heaps of fixes for the mode. One of the most notable is the ability to finally save characters and V’s rotation and position within your Photo Mode presets.
There are also fixes present for “texture and color inconsistencies for vehicles that have CrystalCoat applied,” in addition to several other menu fixes for the vehicle customization system added in patch 2.11.
For those looking at creating a character in future runs, you can now also preserve randomizer settings within the character creator after further customization of character attributes.
There are also a handful of changes to allow Johnny Silverhand to appear more in the passenger seat of your car if you’re ever feeling lonely while driving along the streets of Dogtown. Patch 2.2 originally sought to resolve this by having Johnny sitting shotgun around 25% of the time, which didn’t happen. The inverse also occurred, where Johnny could appear duplicated in the passenger seat in quests where he is set to appear during a scripted event. The new patch will solve any ghostly duplications of Silverhand, and have him spend more time with V in a car this time around.
Most notably, the game has also added DLSS 4 support for PC players, as well as Multi Frame Generation for RTX 50-series GPUs. This tool will now allow players to boost their FPS by “up to three times per traditionally rendered frame,” so long as you have the new GPUs to run it.
RTX 40-series users can also enjoy “faster single frame generation with reduced memory usage.” All Nvidia RTX GPU owners can also choose between the traditional CNN model in DLSS features to the new Transformer model, which CD Projekt claimed can enhance “stability, lighting, and detail in motion.”
RTX users can also enjoy enhanced Ray Reconstruction, with fewer artifacts and smudging in patch 2.21. CD Projekt has not announced whether or not this might be a final update to Cyberpunk 2077, as the company transitions to full development on The Witcher 4.
Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.21 patch notes:
Patch 2.21 for Cyberpunk 2077 is being rolled out on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S!
This update adds support for DLSS 4 on PC and introduces various fixes, notably to SmartFrames on Xbox and Photo Mode across all platforms. For details, check the full list of changes below:

- Characters will now be properly saved in presets.
- Spawned characters will now be visible after adding a background.

- Disabling Chromatic Aberration in the Graphics settings will no longer affect the ability to adjust it.
- Fixed an issue where some items in scenes disappeared after setting the Surrounding NPCs option to OFF.
- Fixed an issue where enabling PhysX Cloth would unfreeze NCPD vehicles.
- The rule of thirds grid will now properly adapt to the selected aspect ratio.
- Fixed an issue where the image in a SmartFrame wouldn’t be visible if accessed while V was not facing it.
- Fixed an issue where opening Photo Mode simultaneously with Wardrobe or Stash caused the game to become unresponsive.
- Fixed an issue where it was possible to access Photo Mode before a save file fully loaded, causing it to open without UI and block any further action.
- Fixed other minor Photo Mode issues related to spawned characters, camera movement, controls, and more.
- Fixed various UI issues in Photo Mode, SmartFrames and Gallery menus, including slider inconsistencies, localization errors, missing sound effects, incorrect behavior when interacting with certain features, and more.
Vehicle Color Customization
- Fixed several texture and color inconsistencies for vehicles that have CrystalCoat applied.
- Fixed an issue where the explanation of the spray paint icon was missing in the Autofixer tutorial pop-up after a vehicle contract was completed.
- Fixed several minor UI issues in the CrystalCoat and TwinTone menus.
Character Creation
- Randomizer settings in Character Creation will now be preserved after advancing to the Customize Attributes step.
- Fixed an issue where the Piercing Color option would not be available in Character Creation after enabling piercings if V initially had none.

Miscellaneous

Console-specific
- Fixed an issue where screenshots appeared as blank in the Gallery on Xbox if they were taken with HDR10 enabled.
- Added a pop-up in the Gallery to notify players when access to screenshots is blocked by the console’s privacy settings on Xbox.
- Screenshots deleted on Xbox outside the Gallery UI will now be correctly marked in the Gallery and will disappear from occupied slots after reopening the Gallery.
- Fixed an issue where the Graphics Mode on Xbox Series S could be set to Quality instead of Performance by default.
PC-specific
- Added support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, which boosts FPS by using AI to generate up to three times per traditionally rendered frame – enabled with GeForce RTX 50 Series on January 30th. DLSS 4 also introduces faster single Frame Generation with reduced memory usage for RTX 50 and 40 Series. Additionally, you can now choose between the CNN model or the new Transformer model for DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution, and DLAA on all GeForce RTX graphics cards today. The new Transformer model enhances stability, lighting, and detail in motion.
- Fixed artifacts and smudging on in-game screens when using DLSS Ray Reconstruction.
- The Frame Generation field in Graphics settings will now properly reset after switching Resolution Scaling to OFF.
