Trump administration reportedly freezes all childcare payments to all states
Trump official says funds will be released only when states prove they are being spent legitimately
The Department of Health and Human Services is freezing all childcare payments to all states, an official for Donald Trumps administration told ABC News in a report published Wednesday, just hours after department officials announced that they had frozen childcare funding to Minnesota.
States funds, the unnamed official said, will be released only when states prove they are being spent legitimately.
The department did not immediately reply to a Guardian request for comment on the report, but HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told ABC News that its the onus of the state to make sure that these funds, these federal dollars, taxpayer dollars, are being used for legitimate purposes.
Recipients of childcare funding will have to provide HHS with extensive documentation, such as attendance records, licensing, inspection and monitoring reports, complaints and investigations, Nixon added.

(7,435 posts)is to kill as many of us possible... overseas is okay... but "home" is even better. If he's going to die, he's going to take as many with him as is possible. I'm to the point of saying somebody needs to do an assassination. I'm not for violence, especially political violence, but he is inflicting violence daily on everyone -- an in particular to the most vulnerable among us. He MUST pay... and so must his maladministration. There is no other choice that I can see. No one is "man enough" to stand up to him, let alone knock him down. What are WE to do to protect ourselves and our loved ones?
He's locked into a corner... between the continual Epstein files fallout, his dying body turning against him, the bottoming out of all the polls, and the laughter that permeates the air around him. And we all know a cornered animal is the most dangerous. I truly worry for all of us, if he's not put out of his (and our) misery.

(1,987 posts)at a scale never seen before to turn to the states and demand they account for the paltry funds they receive from said administration. The Trump administration wastes more money in a day than most states receive in a year.

(7,435 posts)I don't know for what. He's got more than any one person could ever need or want. But he'll strip it from everyone until he finally just gets to the point to where he sets up a money box and demand, track, and surveil every person to ensure they fill it with all they have.
