What to know about Trump administration freezing federal child care funds
The Trump administration has said it is freezing child care funds to all states until they provide more verification about the programs in a move fueled by a series of fraud schemes at Minnesota day care centers run by Somali residents.
Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill called the decision a response to “blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country” in a social media post announcing the change on Tuesday. https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-child-care-fu...meanwhile:

So we are paying for this. Give to the rich and Israelis and the poor in the US and the Ukraine can suck hind tit.
Colorfully put, but those are essentially the facts: Trump cares more for Israel than he does USian Proles.

Ah, Trump’s masterstroke of governance: fast-tracking tax cuts for the wealthy while scheduling the slashing cuts to Medicaid and food assistance for a more *convenient* season...
say, after the midterms?
Apparently, Trump's strategy assumes voters possess the political memory of a goldfish and the critical thinking skills of the average MAGA rally attendee.
Truly, Machiavelli would applaud the subtlety!
Are we great again yet?

... Trump cares more for Israel than he does USian Proles.
Close but no.... nah, belay that. It's not even close.
Trump doesn't give a shit about Israel. Trump cares about Trump and TrumpCo.
Catering to Israel is in the interest of his family's financial & development interests, and possibly to his legacy. That's what Trump cares about.
If the situation changed such that throwing Israel under the bus was to his advantage, he'd do it without a second thought.
