## Resource

The Trump administration tried to freeze $10 billion in federal funds for childcare and family assistance in five key states, claiming fraud—but states saw it as political retaliation. A judge quickly halted the move, and the states sued, arguing it was unconstitutional and targeted politically. The Department of Health and Human Services backed down, dropping demands for extra scrutiny—including checks on eligibility for undocumented immigrants—and restored funding access. For now, this high-stakes funding battle is over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
