A federal judge ruled Friday that the #Trump admin cannot block #federal money for #childcare subsidies & other programs aimed at supporting needy #children & their #families from flowing to 5 #Democratic-led #states for now.
#California, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Minnesota & #NewYork argued that a policy to freeze funds for 3 grant programs is having an immediate impact on them & creating “operational chaos.”
"#Jews comprise 0.2% of the world’s population.
Take a group of 500 random people, and on average, 499 won’t be #Jewish.
So you may be wondering what it’s like to be part of that 0.2%.
Here’s a little snapshot:
In May, Jews gathered at a museum reception in #WashingtonDC. A #gunman started #shooting. Two attendees were #killed.
In June, Jews gathered at a park in #Boulder, #Colorado. An assailant threw #Molotovcocktails into the crowd. A woman was killed.
In October, Jews gathered at a #synagogue in #Manchester, #England. A man drove his car into pedestrians and #stabbed them. Two people were killed.
In December, Jews gathered on a beach in #Sydney, #Australia. #Terrorists opened fire. Fifteen people were killed.
That’s just in 2025.
Bottom line: being Jewish is dangerous."
