'My phone has been blowing up': Reporter details massive chaos unleashed by Trump orders

President Donald Trump's order pausing all federal grants and loans has created chaos around the country as charities, universities, and other institutions now have no idea if they will have the resources they need to complete their missions.

Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein revealed on X Tuesday morning that "my phone has been blowing up over the past 10 hours like crazy" ever since Trump unilaterally halted the dispersement of funds that had been passed by the United States Congress.

"Nobody knows if this will affect Medicaid payments for tens of millions, student loans, grants to homeless shelters, disaster relief, veterans orgs and scores of other federal functions," Stein added.

In a separate post, Stein recapped all of the disruptive actions Trump and his administration have taken over the last week.

"Partial list of Trump admin actions through 1 week: Pauses all federal grants and loans; Purges Justice Department career staff, halts civil rights cases; Fires at least 15 inspectors general; Suspends senior USAID staff while halting foreign aid; Threatens Colombia, Denmark, Mexico, Canada and many more with tariffs and sanctions," he wrote.
