'A New York judge on Friday extended a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from slashing funds to social service programs in five Democrat-led states.
U.S. District Judge Vernon Broderick made his ruling at the request of Minnesota, California, Illinois, New York and Colorado. The states receive a total of over $10 billion a year from the federal government for its programs, which help with child care and family assistance.
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) praised the ruling in a statement, saying the “illegal funding freeze would have caused severe chaos in the lives of some of the most vulnerable families in our state.”
“We are pleased that the court has once again sided with us,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) wrote in his own statement. “The Trump Administration’s actions are not only unlawful — they are cruel, targeting the most vulnerable among us. My fellow attorneys general and I will not relent in this case, and we are confident that we will ultimately prevail in permanently blocking the unlawful funding freeze.”'
Unlawful and cruel, perfect summation of the Trump regime.
The attack on Democratic states is clearly partisan, having nothing to do with combating fraud.
The unlawful and cruel slashing of social services funds is predicated on the lie that ‘widespread fraud’ exists in just these five Democratic states, when social services fraud exists in Republican-controlled states, Florida being among the worst offenders.
“South Florida still ranks as the nation’s healthcare fraud capital, where medical equipment scams involving knee and back braces continue to flourish alongside more sophisticated billing schemes in the expanding field of telemedicine and genetic cancer testing.”
