Trump Sends Out Error-Filled Letters While Yanking Blue States’ Child Care Cash

The Trump administration yanked roughly $10 billion in child care and social services funds for blue states, then undercut its case with error-filled letters that mislabeled states.
The billionaire president sent the letters Tuesday night to the states of California, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, and New York, notifying them that federal funding would be frozen pending what officials described as a “thorough review” of the programs, Axios reported.
The letters from the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, cited concerns about “systemic fraud” and requested documents from the states as part of the review process. The letters said the funding would stay frozen until the review was finished.
However, the letters contained apparent errors and “appear to have been written quickly,” Axios reported. Requests for documents repeatedly referred to “Minnesota,” even in letters addressed to other states.
