ROBBING CHILDREN of the BEST START at Life for Billionaires Graft is WEAKNESS This administration‘s failure to properly manage money just shows administrative weakness and graft. And the children - future adults - should not have to suffer for it. The Trump regime's failure to disburse congressionally-approved grant funding for Head Start programs is unacceptable. Head Start provides critical early childhood education and support services to nearly 800,000 low-income children, fostering healthy development and yielding long-term benefits. Eliminating or underfunding this program would devastate vulnerable families who rely on Head Start for high-quality education, childcare, food assistance, and developmental screenings. The Government Accountability Office has confirmed the administration's actions are ILLEGAL. Congress must take immediate action to demand the RELEASE of all impounded Head Start funds. Robust funding for Head Start must also be included in the FY2026 appropriations bill. The well-being and education of our nation's children should be a paramount priority. There is no better investment we can make than ensuring access to high-quality early childhood programs like Head Start for all families, regardless of income level. I urge you to stand firmly against any attempts to undermine or defund this VITAL program that strengthens communities and provides a foundation for children's lifelong success. THIS IS YOUR JOB. PLEASE DO YOUR JOB.
