Trump official says funds will be released ‘only when states prove they are being spent legitimately’
The changes to US childcare services as part of a response to a viral video, made by a self-described “independent journalist” and rightwing influencer, that purported to discover massive fraud at daycare centers operated by Somali Americans in Minneapolis.
However, other news outlets have not been able to verify the claims made in the video. Allegations of exploitation of Minnesota’s social safety net have also been extensively covered by local and national news media over the past several years, and prosecutors brought charges over one allegedly massive scheme during the Biden administration.
In recent weeks, Trump has intensified his xenophobic attacks on Somali Americans, including his long-running nemesis Ilhan Omar, a representative from Minnesota who is Somali American and came to the US as a refugee. He has said that Omar is “garbage” and said Somalia is “no good for a reason”.

Trump will literally starve children, to distract the American people, from the fact that he raped children. And that, is fucking wild
So, the dog whistle here is: “Because of the BROWN people from SHITHOLE countries who are here ILLEGALLY anyway, no one can have nice things!”
This country so desperately wants loads of children, but makes it so challenging to support the kids
And then the same people who want to get birth rates up say you shouldn’t have children if you can’t afford them
They want fetuses because that makes jeebus happy
They need to children so that they can grow up and die as solders.
Why are they allowed to do this
Are they even?
Project 2025. So that women will have to stay home.
Ain’t gonna go like they think it will.
Why won’t it? Because I think it will. Americans are complacent.
Women are not having babies anymore. And more and more of us are taking a very firm stand on this.
Honestly, I don’t wonder if the cons hope for this exact thing.
Meaning, they hope the tradwife types/the Quiverfull Movement, etc., will be popping out lots of (white) babies, while all of those other - and here, sub in whatever - feminists, liberals, LGBTQ, etc. - people will be convinced not to do so.
I still don’t think it will work out the way they think it would - first of all, it’s not like liberals don’t come from conservative backgrounds. Same for feminists and LGBTQ. Also, I just don’t think there are enough people that are going to take up fringe movements like tradwife and Quiverfull stuff to really counterbalance birth rates at a national level.
How would it? Just because they have an insane idea doesn’t mean A actually does lead to B.
When he’s not fucking kids one way, he’s fucking them another.
I was wondering why tiktok algorithm starting spewing tons of self proclaimed journalists confronting Somali daycare centers proving some kind of fraud. Felt very propagandish
This will definitely encourage more people to have kids.
The US is just speed running Japan in the 90s so they can have a couple of lost decades and lose all significance in the world.
By design.
This is more than lost decades. America isn’t rec9vering from this.
y’all aren’t thinking depraved enough: when these families can’t afford to take care of their children, a soldier is born.
Ooh! Can we get the deflation too??
Deflation to wages? Sure.
Everything else will stay expensive.
OK but they were having the wrong KIND of kids
Jeez
As long as Elon can afford his 50th yacht and fund a robot army for himself, that’s the most important thing.
And he doesnt care for his own children so why would he care about anyone elses
Daycare is woke. Just another obvious win for the average American and MAGA voter.
/s
misread “average American and MAGA voter” as “average American anal MAGA voter”
makes sense because they are being fucked
It’s like taking candy from a baby. In that it is taking food from babies.
Gotta pay for the tax cuts for billionaires somehow.
Happy fucking new year!
Is that how the law was written for disbursements?
