Trump admin claws back $80M given to NYC to house migrants โ but comptroller calls it โhighway robberyโ
Millions in FEMA funds sent to New York City last week to help with the migrant crisis were clawed back Wednesday, officials said.
This morning, President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally seized $80M in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts.
Trump and Elon stole tens of millions of dollars straight from our bank accounts--this is highway robbery, and NY cannot take this lying down.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.
US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.
- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.
The worldโs poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.
