Trump punishes children to punish political enemies
By 
Trump really should have been convicted the first time he was impeached, you know, because extortion is just how he does business:
The Trump administration plans to freeze $10 billion in funding for child care subsidies, social services and cash support for low-income families in five states controlled by Democrats, claiming widespread fraud throughout those states, without citing evidence, after a major welfare fraud scheme in one of them.
Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter. The five states will also lose access to nearly $2.4 billion for the Child Care and Development Fund, which supports child care for working parents, and around $870 million for social services grants that mostly benefit children at risk, the people said.
The funding pause could jeopardize programs that serve hundreds of thousands of low-income households in the five states.
In addition to Trump treating states who didn’t vote for him like he treats contractors who didn’t get cash on the barrelhead, remember when Dobbs was going to make Republicans the party of healthcare and family support? Not sure what happened for that.
