Fraud ONLY happens in Democratic Led States?
Democratic attorneys general from five states sued to block the Trumpadministration’s freeze of child care and social services funding Thursday evening.
Why it matters: The freeze would cut off more than $10 billion in federal money that supports low-income families — and imperil the child care programs, homeless shelters and other services that rely on the cash.
The big picture: The states say HHS and the Administration for Children and Families abruptly cut off money for child care, cash assistance and social services programs without evidence, without due process and without legal authority.
- Filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the suit alleges that the freeze was triggered not by fraud findings but by viral misinformation, political rhetoric and public threats from President Trump and top officials.
- The funding freeze puts low-income families, kids and people with disabilities at immediate risk, they argue. The attorneys general are from California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York.
- “Their transparent motivation is to punish ‘Democrat-led’ states who are disfavored by the Administration,” they write.
The other side: Department of Health and Human Services officials have said they needed to cut off funding due to systemic fraud in the child care system….
Note….
Of course Trump’s people did NOT STOP Social Security payments when they ‘thought there was ‘fraud’ there, eh?
