AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports Head Start and Medicaid providers hit glitches as Trump ordered a freeze on federal money.

Trump freezing federal funds was a heinous act against American democracy, from ppl losing snap benefits to not being able to get essential healthcare through medicaid. It's evil. Point. Blank. Period. The level of cruelty involved might not be just a legal overreach, but might provide wedge opportunities to form coalitions previously unthought of. I'd really love to throw some punches.

The Trump administration has ordered a freeze on all federal funding impacting essential programs nationwide. A memo from the White House Budget Office demanded a halt to public loans, grants, and aid by 5 p.m. Tuesday, potentially affecting nonprofits, universities, and small businesses. In 2024 alone, the government spent $3 trillion on these programs. This freeze could have severe and dire consequences. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has condemned the move, saying it threatens vital support for disaster relief, school lunches, and aid for elderly, with many nonprofit organizations warning that this could endanger many people's lives. Legal challenges to this move can be expected to arise quickly as critics argue it violates the law. The question remains, how will communities cope with this sudden loss of federal support?

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health say the move has sent fear and confusion throughout the agency. Plus, what's the technology behind meme coins?Trump Administration Cancels Meetings, Freezes Hiring At NIHThis was President Trump's first week back in the Oval Office. Along with issuing a flurry of executive orders, his administration has imposed a range of restrictions on the National Institutes of Health, affecting meetings, travel, hiring, funding, and communications. Scientists expressed alarm about what this could mean for ongoing research, with no clear timeline for if or when the freeze would be lifted.Flora Lichtman is joined by Casey Crownhart, climate editor at the MIT Technology Review, to catch up on this and other big science stories of the week, including what's coming next this year for nuclear power, why a record amount of snow fell in the Southeast this week, and new research on the surprisingly complex biology of a manta ray tail.What Exactly Is A Meme Coin And How Does It Work?A few days before President Trump's inauguration, he hosted a “crypto ball” in Washington, D.C. That night, he unveiled his very own meme coin—a kind of digital asset that has gained a reputation for facilitating scams. Soon after, first lady Melania Trump also launched her own meme coin. After its launch, Trump's coin's market capitalization reached billions of dollars.This isn't the first time meme coins have gotten a lot of attention—you might remember Elon Musk joked about another one called Dogecoin on SNL in 2021—but it is the first time that this technology has been used by a sitting president. So what exactly is a meme coin anyway? How does the blockchain play into all this? And how might a president use it differently than an internet celebrity?To find out more, Flora Lichtman talks with Liz Lopatto, a senior writer at The Verge who covers cryptocurrency and business, about how this market started, how Trump could use meme coins, and where the crypto market could go next.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.
