I wonder, how do the MAGAts in those states feel about that.

Ta, Dok. Policies that hurt women and families are de rigueur for this maladministration. Children should be raped and forced to carry their rapists' kids to term, then given no support for them.

Was I dreaming or did I read something last night that said a judge entered a TRO in that case? %20in%20temporary%20restraining%20order,%20judge%20blocks%20Trump%20from%20freezing%20childcare%20funding%20for%205%20states%20(NY,%20CA,%20IL,%20MN,%20CO)

Yes I did

But I don’t think I copied the link correctly

Wow, if they’re worried about funds going to ineligible parties, I hope someone tells them about Florida and Mississippi…

They should be talking to Senator Rick Scott (FL) about how it's done. He knows all about it.

"letters sent to the states demanded they “turn over essentially every document ever associated with the state's implementation of these federal programs and do so within 14 days, by Jan. 20, including personally identifiable information about program participants.”"

Well, of course!! How else is ICE supposed to find enough people with names that don't sound white enough, so they can meet their quotas?!?

Forget thinking of the children, won't somebody think of those poor, overworked ICE agents? I mean, most of them are terrifyingly immature, isn't that close enough?

This is the traitor when he is not only big mad but he’s big scared too. A Special Master will be appointed to oversee the Epstein law is precisely followed. This means ONLY the names/photos etc of the child RAPE victims can be redacted. No perpetrators regardless of their position or wealth. No cog in the machine, large or small either. So I guarantee the fascist traitor is pooping his diapers big time.

Expect more violence and deplorable actions from this regime.

This is the judge.

The judge they went to to make this request is not one in the traitor’s pocket. He doesn’t like shenanigans and shortly before this request the DOJ advised the judge that instead of there being 5.2 million documents, as they said previously, that they were “wrong” and there are only 3 million documents. There is little to no doubt the judge will approve of the Special Master because like us, he can see the deception of the DOJ. The judge is a straight shooter.

This is federally mandated sadism.

I was already angry. The lack of evidence is par for the course, but then the demanding of so much paperwork??!!

If they want paperwork, fine. That’s normal enough, I suppose. But then they want stuff with people’s personal information? Fuck that, they can get bent.

The Donald says it's so. If that alone isn't enough "evidence" for you, you're clearly a traitor, a domestic terrorist, and an enemy of the state.

Recent discoveries point to the realization that Dreams are perfectly rational and logical but do not appear to be so due to the irrational and illogical nature of conscious life.

Trump is right- there is massive fraud.

It starts at the top, floods down through the current regime's Fecal-Filters, and then circles right back up to the top.

When this government is back in the hands of the sane, if that EVER happens, we need to enshrine the guardrails into the Constitution. This shit can NOT happen ever again.

California and New York in particular should stop paying federal income taxes. Just hold in in escrow until their federal funding is restored.

These five states happen to be the only ones where state criminal charges are brought by "The People" rather than just the name of the state.

Maybe some idiot flagged this as a marker of communist tendencies for poorly implemented AI to pick up on.
