1. Trump has officially defunded school lunches in Maine for kids and disabled adults because of transgender people.
Trump is holding the funds hostage and will allow kids to go hungry unless Maine discriminates.

Cutting much needed funding for school lunches for poor children just to punish a school district whose employees affirm trans kids is evil.
Let’s see the statute then. It starts with a number, then “U.S.C.” then a squiggly lookin “S” thing that probably confuses you, and then another number.
Find the one that says what you said is true.
So yeah, I get it, but also it’s a bs argument even before you get to the motivations behind it.
Its not perfect, but Maine will always have my heart.

It turns out their protests were a reflection of what they planned to do once they were in power.
If we can’t count on the federal government, then let’s count on each other.
Let’s protect those kids. let’s feed those kids #maine #school #lunch
They are pretending to be Erin and trying to steal money.

Subsequently, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that “the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor,” but that he would still “need a full-throated apology from the Governor herself"

It's hard to punish lawmakers when the ways you'd punish a state are the state's stated goals.
You´re lucky that your state isn´t inhabited by penguins. He would´ve tariffed you on top of that!
What he's doing is illegally impounding funds he has no discretion to mess with.
(A predictable, and predicted, consequence of the whole government failing to enforce the constitution.)

I fully support politicians allowing Donald to hold funds because they stand on principle.
The general population will need to be apart of this discomfort so they’ll pay attention anyway.
As a Massachusetts resident, I wouldn't at all mind my tax dollars going for that. I wonder if it can legally be done.
Just sayin
