Does anyone know the specific timing of ladder promotion freezes? I was eligible for promotion from gs7 to gs9 in the middle of last pay period (before inauguration) and my supervisor put in the request several weeks beforehand. I understand these things aren't effective until the next full pay period which should be today but now there's a freeze. I'm SOL for now, right? Further, does anyone know when the freeze is lifted, would it be applied retroactively?

OPM asked agencies to send lists if probationary staff. It's not clear what comes next.

First EO was for 90 days. This one as well.
