Blue States Keep $10 Billion in US Child Care Aid for Now

New York, California, Minnesota and two other Democratic-led states won a court order temporarily blocking the US government from slashing $10 billion in aid for programs that serve vulnerable children and families.

A federal judge in Manhattan on Friday sided with the blue states after President Donald Trump’s administration accused Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and other state officials of allowing massive fraud in programs supporting child care — a claim the officials deny.
