The Trump administration plans to release more than $5 billion in funding to public schools that it has withheld for nearly a month, a senior administration official said Friday, ending weeks of anxiety and uncertainty for school leaders who had said the freeze jeopardized programs and staffing for the upcoming academic year.
The government placed nearly $7 billion in funding under review on June 30, then released a $1.3 billion slice of it last week. The administration’s review of the remaining funding has ended, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska), celebrated the move on social media, noting he pushed for the money to be released. “Exciting news to announce! All frozen education funding for the upcoming school year have been released,” he wrote on X.
States expected the funding to be released on July 1, as normally happens each year. Instead, the Education Department notified states June 30 that the money was under review for compliance with President Donald Trump’s priorities. The Office of Management and Budget said it was investigating whether any of the grant money had in the past been used for a “radical leftwing agenda.”
The administration official said Friday that “guardrails” would be in place “to ensure these funds will not be used in violation of executive orders or administration policy.”
makes me cautiously optimistic

Trump swore up & down he never signed Epstein’s “birthday book.” Called it fake. Even sued the WSJ for reporting it.
Now the evidence tells a different story. And if he went this far to cover up a doodle and a “secret” message, what else is he hiding?
It’s time to release the full, unredacted Epstein files. The survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.

If he was in them in the form that all Dems want him, naw NEED him to be we know by now.
They were friends in the 90s, not a secret.
Epstein being a huge Dem donor has slipped by relatively unnoticed btw

Epstein was also a big R donor too.
It's almost like he's an opportunist predator and we should punish the people who were his clients in his pedophilia ring, but we won't because it's too many people tied to too many important people.

EH.
tbh I’m shocked leftists want to hold a dead guy to task on his crimes instead of try and rehab the guy for the 50th time like everyone else
