The Trump administration has restored a public website that tracks federal spending, ending a blackout that lawmakers criticized as a method to freeze funding without transparency. This development marks a victory for Congress in a prolonged dispute over control and disclosure of federal expenditures. Documents released under a court order reveal that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Trump has been imposing strict conditions on agencies, requiring them to demonstrate compliance with executive directives before releasing funds. Additionally, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has implemented a policy making English the sole language for all agency business and services, following an executive order from President Trump. This policy change includes the removal of Spanish and other non-English languages from HUD’s website, aiming to unify communication within the department under one language.
