The inquiries concern the White House’s handling of #ForeignAid, such as money for #Ukraine, along with #climate investments, including funds for #wind #energy & clean school buses, acc/to internal documents from June viewed by NYT. The admin’s treatment of #PublicHealth & #education #grants, such as those for #NIH & the #childcare program known as #HeadStart, are also being investigated, the documents show.

New Trump rule immediately bans undocumented immigrants from Head Start child care
Connecticut Pilots a Better Way for Unhoused Kids and Caregivers to Access Homes
Connecticut’s “Head Start on Housing” program could serve as a blueprint for other states nationwide.
Her order blocks the #Trump admin from finalizing #layoffs announced in March or issuing any further firings. #HHS is directed to file a status report by July 11.
The ruling applies to terminated employees in 4 different divisions of HHS — the #CDC; the Center for Tobacco Products within the #FDA; the Office of #HeadStart within the Administration for Children & Families & employees of regional offices who work on Head Start matters; & the Office of the Asst Secretary for Planning & Evaluation.
The TX #Democrat had given #BillMoyers a summer job in his #Senate office in 1954 when Moyers was in college. [how most #lawyers get started—E.G., my (Nonilex) dad after his 2nd yr of #law school, worked for then-General #Shriver’s nascent #HeadStart program].
Moyers arrived on Capitol Hill &, w/o even unpacking his bags, worked through the night addressing 275k envelopes using a foot-operated “addressograph” machine. By the end of the summer, he was handling Johnson’s personal correspondence.
This is why billionaires do NOT belong in any #government. These #psychopaths will deny the #underprivileged any and all #avenues to #advance in life. #Criminal #felon #POTUS and the rest of the #corrupt #administration belong in #prison.

The suit argues the cutbacks already enacted have jeopardized a range of congressionally mandated programs, including #MentalHealth & #addiction services, #HeadStart — the federal program that funds early childhood #education for #poor students — #Medicaid & assistance for #LowIncome households in paying heating & cooling bills.
CommUnify’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs have served 55,000+ children and families since our first campus opened in 1967,
and currently we operate 20 campuses, serving close to 600 children and their families annually.
But the new administration’s proposed federal budget would completely eliminate Head Start and Early Head Start.
The premise of Head Start is simple:
every child, regardless of circumstance at birth, has the ability to reach their full potential.
Eradicating Head Start and Early Head Start will have an impact on our local workforce:
without these programs many of the parents of these children will not be able to go to work because they will not have safe and affordable childcare.
Now is the time to stand up and make our voices heard.

“When RFK took an axe to #HHS, he didn't just cut scientific research & major health initiatives.
He went after programs that provide critical intervention for poverty-stricken kids.
One former employee familiar w/ #HeadStart told me they knew of an open inquiry into a report of an instructor who struck a child. It’s not clear who’s going to manage that case going forward, the former employee -bc the one who’d been handling it lost their job.”

Filling the jails of the future
“Rs have tried for years to cut$$ for these programs, have generally been unsuccessful. Head Start childcare funds are popular -may be a backdoor way of defunding: just fire all the people who process grant apps & cut the checks. At the very least, slows down$ getting out the door. PJ25 explicitly called for eliminating Head Start.”
-C Rampell
Defunding programs for young children, is an ongoing Republican battle, that primarily targets working women.
The spending freeze temporarily prevented state Medicaid agencies, Heart Start early education programs, and community health centers from accessing the Payment Management Services web portal run by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Today's #Congress outreach:
I was so busy today I couldn't make phone calls before offices closed. I did write a letter to #Warren, #Markey, and #Pressley demanding that they do something about #HeadStart programs being denied access to funds. Maybe you'd like to join me in asking your electeds to act on this? If so, you can use my petition:

Until we beat back the #coup, you, too, should be calling and writing your electeds in Congress daily!

"These questions are still on the table, even after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted a radical plan that President Trump announced Tuesday to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans, even though the money has already been appropriated by Congress."

"Will low-income families be able to keep the heat on? Will seniors have access to another meal on wheels? Will Medicaid continue? Will low-income children get breakfasts or lunches at school? Will children be able to go to Head Start?"
