Despite Trump claiming Head Start funds were unfrozen, it looks like the real president — Elon Musk — was illegally blocking them anyway.

Musk claims to be a pro-natalist. This move exposes the lie. LIke all "natalists," he's just a misogynist.

And a racist, of course. He thinks all poor children are Black.

He will do ANYTHING to avoid helping a Black person, including cutting off his own foot.

"But the driving animus the right has long harbored against #HeadStart was never focused on #children, who benefit tremendously... increased likelihood to attend college and... improved self-esteem and self-discipline. No, the program has long been targeted by conservatives because it makes it easier for young mothers to have jobs or go to school, helping #women secure economic independence."

Text from article: Last week, Trump pulled back the across-the-board "freeze" on all federal grants and loans, but despite the alleged "unfreezing," reports are streaming in from various states that money for Head Start has disappeared, forcing some centers to close or lay off staff. This is likely the doing of Musk, who has been interfering with the Treasury Department systems that disperse funds, and bragging on X that he has dictator-like powers to unilaterally destroy programs he doesn't like. The targeting of Head Start, a program that provides early childhood education and support for over 800,000 children, isn't a surprise to those who combed through the Project 2025 handbook. This blueprint for a second Trump term explicitly calls for the elimination of Head Start, hiding behind false claims that the program is somehow bad for children. But the driving animus the right has long harbored against Head Start was never focused on children, who benefit tremendously in both long-term measures like increased likelihood to attend college and short-term measures like improved self-esteem and self-discipline. No, the program has long been targeted by conservatives because it makes it easier for young mothers to have jobs or go to school, helping women secure economic independence.
