YES. "A federal judge has temporarily blocked the #TrumpAdministration’s efforts to remake #HeadStart, ordering it to stop purging words it associates with diversity, equity and inclusion from grant applications and barring it from laying off any more federal employees in the Office of Head Start."

It's not just illegally affixing his name to the #KennedyCenter. The attack is much more: the #CivilRightsAct, #Vaccines, #USAID, #FoodStamps, #HeadStart, the Special #Olympics, etc. What we (we w/a conscience, empathy, & intelligence) hold dear.
& "who better to have on side in a crusade ag. Kennedy initiatives than a Kennedy? it also doubtless served a psychological need for the president. . . Trump must also be keenly aware that a Kennedy is subject to him."

The #NaziDon Administration gave #Headstart a 6 page list of #BannedWords they are PROHIBITED from using when filing for Federal Funding. 🤦♂️
Look at this list. They aren't "swear words" or overtly sexual. They're banning words like "activism", "black", "Native American", "climate crisis", "systemic" & "trauma".
(I'll post the 6 page list below.)

Ah, the classic tale of empty promises: $6.25 billion to give kids a "head start," but apparently, the only thing starting is a 403 error. 🚫💸 Maybe they should try upgrading their server before upgrading our children's futures. 🖥️🙃

#SNAP and #HeadStart programs will start losing funding on Nov. 1.

The #HeritageFoundation hopes to steer #funding for #childcare AWAY from programs like #HeadStart & toward individual families — specifically to encourage parents [wives] to stay home & rear children.
And the group wants #Trump to issue #ExecutiveOrders requiring ALL proposed policies & #regulations to “measure their positive or negative impacts & marriage & family” — then overhaul or end programs that score poorly [whose metrics?].

The inquiries concern the White House’s handling of #ForeignAid, such as money for #Ukraine, along with #climate investments, including funds for #wind #energy & clean school buses, acc/to internal documents from June viewed by NYT. The admin’s treatment of #PublicHealth & #education #grants, such as those for #NIH & the #childcare program known as #HeadStart, are also being investigated, the documents show.

Her order blocks the #Trump admin from finalizing #layoffs announced in March or issuing any further firings. #HHS is directed to file a status report by July 11.
The ruling applies to terminated employees in 4 different divisions of HHS — the #CDC; the Center for Tobacco Products within the #FDA; the Office of #HeadStart within the Administration for Children & Families & employees of regional offices who work on Head Start matters; & the Office of the Asst Secretary for Planning & Evaluation.

The TX #Democrat had given #BillMoyers a summer job in his #Senate office in 1954 when Moyers was in college. [how most #lawyers get started—E.G., my (Nonilex) dad after his 2nd yr of #law school, worked for then-General #Shriver’s nascent #HeadStart program].
Moyers arrived on Capitol Hill &, w/o even unpacking his bags, worked through the night addressing 275k envelopes using a foot-operated “addressograph” machine. By the end of the summer, he was handling Johnson’s personal correspondence.

Whacking #HeadStart and #JobCorps isn't blind slashing. Like the NIH and NSF indirect cost caps and the broader attack on higher ed, the goal is to end economic upward mobility. #Project2025 in action. Screwing poor people, especially poor non-white, non-straight, non-male, and non-cis people.
The Fash want people like me to own and run everything. Or, well, maybe not exactly like me... -

This is the definition of "penny wise & pound foolish".
Same with #defunding #Headstart. Same for #lead detection and removal.

Chalk one up for the 4-year-olds.
Thanks to a relentless onslaught of pleading, cajoling, lobbying and public pressure, Head Start appears to have dodged the federal budget axe — for the time being.
Last month, Donald Trump’s early budget draft called for the elimination of #HeadStart -- the free early-childhood program for low-income families.
#Project2025, the Heritage Foundation’s conservative policy roadmap, also called for the program’s demise, saying it has “little or no academic value.”
That triggered an all-hands-on-deck response from Head Start staff, families and alumni -- who touted the program’s success in propelling families out of poverty.
The National Head Start Association said advocates sent more than 300,000 letters to Congress,
added more than 50,000 signatures to petitions and attended rallies throughout the country.Meanwhile, Head Start advocates took to social media and national TV to plead their case
and visited Republican members of Congress to convince them of the program’s value.
They reached out directly to the White House.
In their free time, advocates said they lobbied everyone from neighbors to hairdressers to gardeners — anyone who had even a remote interest in the program.
It appears to have worked:
The latest draft of Trump’s budget proposal, released last week, doesn’t call for any changes to the $12.27 billion program.
Still, advocates worry that new cuts may lie ahead.
“We mobilized absolutely everyone,” said Melanee Cottrill, executive director of Head Start in California.
“We launched a very intensive campaign. We still have a lot of concerns, but right now there’s a sigh of relief.”

The Real-World Costs of Eliminating Head Start https://otherwords.org/the-real-world-costs-of-eliminating-head-start/
The program was founded as part of the War on Poverty and has made life better for countless children and expecting parents from low-income families suffering from poverty and discrimination.

"These questions are still on the table, even after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted a radical plan that President Trump announced Tuesday to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans, even though the money has already been appropriated by Congress."

"Will low-income families be able to keep the heat on? Will seniors have access to another meal on wheels? Will Medicaid continue? Will low-income children get breakfasts or lunches at school? Will children be able to go to Head Start?"

#News is that Pres #JoeBiden is considering Speaker #KevinMcCarthy's demands to decrease funding, add #WorkRequirements, & raise the age of "abled body adults" from 18-50 to 18-56 on #SocialServices like #FoodStamps (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program / #SNAP).
I need my friends & followers to write the President. We need to tell him to keep hands OFF on #SocialWelfare programs, like SNAP, #TANF, #WIC, #AffordableHousing assistance, #HeadStart, & others.
