While most of the nation’s attention has been glued to Venezuela, something quietly dangerous just happened here at home.

The Trump administration has frozen federal child care and family assistance funding for 5 Democratic-led states. Money meant to keep child care affordable and basic services running for working families.

How is taking care of our children even political? And wow, it’s only targeting Democratic states and cities. I wonder why!

They’ll call it “fraud concerns.” But the result is the same: families scrambling, child care slots at risk, and kids paying the price while Trump hides behind a chaotic news cycle.

This is what weaponizing government looks like. And until Democrats have power again, they can keep doing it.
