Judge AliKhan Didn't Halt Trump's Funding Freeze Alone, Democracy Forward Did Too - emptywheel
Briefly

Judge Loren AliKhan issued a temporary stay on Trump's federal funding freeze, allowing consideration of an emergency restraining order request. This pause, effective until February 3rd, was crucial given the outcry and concerns from various nonprofit organizations involved, notably the National Council of Nonprofits and the American Public Health Association. These groups are challenging Trump's executive orders, emphasizing their roles in advocating for public health and nonprofit missions. The move reflects judicial intervention aimed at maintaining the status quo during a critical evaluation of the executive's actions.
The Court orders an administrative stay through 5PM on February 3rd to maintain the status quo and allow for full consideration of Plaintiffs' request for a temporary restraining order.
Because there's a great deal of doomerism, because a lot of people spent yesterday wailing, 'Why doesn't anyone do anything,' I think it crucially important to lay out who did what.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are, as described in the complaint, National Council of Nonprofits ('NCN') is the largest network of nonprofit organizations in North America.
APHA represents more than 23,000 individual members, who reside in all segments of the public health community.
