"The #Trump admin froze $10 billion in #grant #funding for #childcare & #family assistance programs in 5 states"

$10 Billion dollars now to be spent buying sour, asphalt-like "oil" from #Venezuela

The #Trump admin froze $10 billion in #grant #funding for #childcare & #family assistance programs in 5 states purportedly because of “serious concerns about widespread fraud” in state-administered programs.

All 5 states targeted — #California, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Minnesota & #NewYork — are led by #Democrats.

Passing this along in case food security advocates find it helpful

Again, tbh, I'm offering it up to help grassroot orgs break thru the info gatekeeping

LOI period open now thru Feb 15, 2026

(Update: I received this link thru a Los Angeles County email with the application period of Jan 1, 2026 to Feb 15, 2026. Conagra's website still has 2025 dates 🙄)

tbh I debated on posting this. too little money. too many hurdles. too much big controlling philanthropy

offering it up since I know how hard the ground is for grassroots
