Gaza at a glance, 2025
The UNRWA administrative office in occupied East Jerusalem is empty, because about two dozen international staff did not have their visas renewed by Israel so they have been forced to leave. Any local staff is either working from home or elsewhere.
We have to reject the notion that people are inherently one thing or the other. People have the potential to change.
Since the early days of the American west, World War II, the Cold War, or the so-called War on Terror, conflict has been presented in the movies as having two sides: good guys and bad guys. Sometimes that lens is how we view politics in our life. But reality, as always is a lot more complicated.

we believe that Medicaid is implicated along other discretionary programs like SNAP, TANF, WIC, workforce training programs, mental health/substance abuse funding, home energy assistance, HUD programs, and more, Krista Drobac, founder of Moving Health Home(said).

White House illegally pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The White House budget office is ordering a pause to all grants and loans disbursed by the federal government,
according to a loosely worded internal memo, sent to agencies Monday,
-- creating significant confusion across Washington.
In a two-page document,
J. , the acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, instructs federal agencies to
temporarily pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance.

to ensure its grant and loan programs are consistent with President Trumps executive orders,
which aimed to ban federal diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,
and limit clean energy spending, among other measures.
The memo states its orders should
not be construed to impact Social Security or Medicare recipients,
and also says the federal financial assistance put on hold
does not include assistance provided directly to individuals.
But the document says programs affected are
