So Wednesday rolls around and they get a judge to come in and sort of put a halt on it. And then later that day, the press secretary says, oh, we're just going to rescind the memo. We're still going to freeze everything. And then the judge comes back and puts a temporary restraining order. So in theory, what that should have meant is that all of that grant funding once again flows. And it did not.

Importantly, too, for us, given how much Medicaid dollars we take in, Medicaid portals in all 50 states went down, so we could not get any of those dollars in service of what we were doing for 12 hours. But still, it was this very concerning situation because Medicaid was not on their list of things that they were after, and yet we couldn't even access it at the state level.

A few more weeks go by and there's news popping about, hey, you said you unfroze stuff, but it's still frozen. Another judge issued an order saying that, like, no, for real, I need it this time. Unfreeze everything. I know some of the grants that we had that we couldn't access seem to have come back online already.

But I don't know, you know, I think it would be an impossible thing to do an accounting of like every single one that might have been turned off that might or might not be back on right now.

So if all of a sudden they lose access to every grant dollar, they lose access to their Fed 330, they were scheduled to draw down on a grant that was going to cover a whole bunch of upcoming expenses, but they haven't done it yet.
