JUDGE BLOCKED TRUMP REGIME'S FOOD BLACKMAIL [View all]

The regime found a fresh place to plant its culture war—the food on our tables. Late last year, the USDA told states they couldn’t get federal food money unless they first signed a loyalty pledge to follow Trump’s rules on “gender ideology,” immigration, and who gets to play in girls’ sports.

Sign the pledge, or watch funding that feeds 39 million Americans dry up.

Twenty states and DC refused, and took the regime to court. On Friday, federal Judge Myong Joun blocked the entire scheme. New York Attorney General Letitia James put it plainly: “We won a court order protecting billions of dollars in USDA funding.” She vowed to keep fighting to “stop the federal government from punishing our state for refusing to bend.”

Trump’s message was simple: obey, or let families go hungry. A judge just told him their dinner isn’t his to take.
