Biden’s Funding Freeze Hits Replay Button, States Rage Quit
In a plot twist worthy of a Netflix drama, the Transportation Department declared states can 'reapply' for the Biden-era funding program it previously froze harder than your last Wi-Fi connection. Groups battling this chill in court are less than thrilled, calling out the delay as if it's the DMV but with bigger stakes. The official word from the bud break? The halt was ‘paused,’ not canceled, so states get a do-over — like when you accidentally send a text to your boss and pray for a rewind button.

The Feds hit pause on your infrastructure dreams and say, 'Try again!' States and courts collectively shouting, 'We wanted action, not sequel syndrome!' Meanwhile, patience wears thinner than 2024’s campaign promises.
Reapplying for funding sounds less like government and more like a bad dating app swipe: 'Nope, try again, maybe this time you’ll get the money!' Swipe left on bureaucracy.
The Transportation Department’s new motto: 'Freeze now, reapply later.' It’s basically Roadblock 2.0, starring delays and court battles nobody asked for.
