Okay, guys, this time - and I mean it this time - the walls are REALLY closing in on Donald Trump! They're sure to get him this time because Letitia James is back on the case.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general in suing the Trump administration to stop it from cutting off access to more than $1 billion in funding to address the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on K-12 students.
Oh no! The executive branch cut off the funds that were totally NOT being wasted to study the impact of closing schools for a year and a half because of a sickness that didn't bother kids?
How awful!
It says that states had earmarked funds to pay for repairs and improvements to school ventilation programs and tutoring for students. Some states also planned to use funds to pay for education and care programs for homeless students, according to the lawsuit.
'If the recession action is not vacated and the approved extensions are not reinstated, key programs and services that address ongoing and emerging needs of Plaintiff's students and local school districts to combat the long-term effects of the pandemic will have to be dissolved or disbanded,' the lawsuit said.
So individual states and individual school boards screwed kids over by closing the schools, forcing masks, mandating jabs, and hampering education for years.
And if only they had this small amount of federal money then all would be better! The Department of Education has to pay to clean up their mess they created, now, half a decade ago.
Here's Education Secretary McMahon's explanation for ending this fund 1 year early.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a letter to the states on March 28: 'After careful review, the Department is modifying the liquidation period to end on March 28, 2025. The Department has concluded that the further extension of the liquidation period for the aforementioned grants, already well past the period of performance, was not justified. You and your subrecipients have had ample time to liquidate obligations.'
McMahon added: 'Extending deadlines for COVID- related grants, which are in fact taxpayer funds, years after the COVID pandemic ended is not consistent with the Department's priorities and thus not a worthwhile exercise of its discretion.'
So, yeah, they're going to sue Donald Trump over this.
Because they can't NOT sue him!
I'm sure Letitia James will get the bad orange man this time around!
