said it’s freezing $10 billion in federal funds<\/a> over so-called fraudulent child care programming.<\/p>\nThe Department of Health and Human Services is freezing $10 billion in federal funds in five Democrat-run states over allegations of fraudulent child-care programming.<\/p>\n
That could force families to pay out-of-pocket.<\/p>\n
The other states impacted by the freeze are Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York, an HHS official confirmed to ABC News.<\/p>\n
Newsom’s office issued the following statement to ABC News:<\/p>\n
“Donald Trump is a deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago.<\/p>\n
This is not complicated. He spends his days posting whatever garbage his shriveled little brain can cough up — and Fox News dutifully treats it like the Lord’s scripture.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile — in the actual world where adults govern — Gavin Newsom has been cleaning house. Since taking office, he’s blocked over $125 BILLION in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artists Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons.<\/p>\n
Gavin Newsom runs a state. Donald Trump runs his mouth and little fingers.”<\/p>\n
