Did I miss something? Is he now King???
https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5381348-trump-administration-after-school-funding-summer-programs/More than $6 billion in federal grants for after-school and summer programs, plus English language instruction, adult literacy and more, are being held up so they can be reviewed to ensure the grants align with Trump's priorities. This is funding that had been signed into law by Rump himself and due to be distributed July 1. But the Education Department has now issued a notice that "The Department remains committed to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the President's priorities..." How is this legal?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
