A federal judge in Manhattan issued an order on June 3 preserving a previous preliminary injunction that had blocked the Department of Education from canceling extensions to states for accessing COVID-19-related funds for school districts.
School officials can be grifters too.
The $1.1 billion in unused COVID-19 relief funds earmarked for elementary and high schools across 16 states and Washington, D.C. must be given to them. The aid was originally granted under the American Rescue Plan Act to support pandemic recovery efforts such as tutoring, building upgrades, and assistance for homeless students.
Far-left U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos’ ruling blocks Education Secretary Linda McMahon from withdrawing the remaining funds while a multi-state lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James and 15 other Democratic attorneys general and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, proceeds.
As of the lawsuit’s filing, Maryland held the largest unspent balance at $245.9 million, with New York following at $134.2 million.
It’s a nice slush fund for Democrats and their teachers’ unions.
The case, New York et al v. U.S. Department of Education et al, is being heard in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (No. 25-02990). Democrats can’t lose in Manhattan.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon had informed the states in March this year that the previously granted extensions were being rescinded because the pandemic was over and extending the deadline was no longer aligned with the department’s current priorities, although the states could reapply for extensions.
On the bright side, President Trump vowed there would be no COVID mandates. He sees the left gearing up to make it a thing once again.

Who needs a legislature or an executive when you have JUDGES?
How many of the activist judges were sleazy ambulance chasing lawyers in the private sector? Then a president’s staff discovered the lawyer would push the liberal agenda regardless of what the law said. All of a sudden they are on a federal bench and people have to refer to the dishonorable rat as “Your Honor”.
OK, this BS has gone on long enough. Let’s just shut down the Presidency and close the White House, and let the judges run the country – HELL’S BELLS, they are anyway. Turn the nuke codes over to whichever rogue judge wants ’em, and if/when war come, let judges deploy the troops. Let’s stop pretending we have a three-branch co-equal… Read more »
FVCK OFF, these FOOLS misspend that money in the first place. CORRUPT education/indoctrination school systems in this Country!!!!!!!!!!
There should be no “far left” judges… or “far right” judges… just those who accurately apply the law regardless of the subject or the parties.
Yeah, right. “Shudda, wudda, cudda….” Dream on.
The corruption of these SO CALLED federal judges is a national disgrace.
Trump needs to collapse the federal judiciary including the SCOTUS and start over.
this nation reeks with lawyers and judges that look on the judiciary as a means of self enrichment only.
I would support any effort including martial law to end this judicial tyranny.
The corruption is there because demorrhoids put ’em there. obongo and whoever ran things with xiden set all this up – it’s preplanned to do exactly what it’s doing right now.
And it’s working great for ’em – the country’s swirling in the toilet bowl exactly the way they planned it.
And it begins with the universities and law schools that create these lawless demagogues. Shut them all down, beginning with those that exist on federal dollars.
The bribes must be paid.
