Judge blocks Trump's $10B welfare fund freeze

Trump continues to attack blue states in the belief he can weaken their resolve.

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from freezing $10 billion in welfare funds earmarked for five blue states.

In response to a request from the states for an emergency injunction, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian ordered that the money from three programs — Child Care Development Fund, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, and Social Services Block Grants — must continue to flow to the states. His decision, which expires in two weeks, was meant to give the two sides time to submit more extensive legal arguments on whether the cuts should be allowed or the ban kept in place, the judge wrote.
