WASHINGTON — The Trump administration launched an investigation Friday that could result in Maine schools losing $250 million in annual federal funding, The Post has learned — hours after a fiery clash between Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and President Trump over transgender athletic policies.

“You better comply! Because otherwise you’re not getting any federal funding,” Trump told Mills during an afternoon White House governor’s summit — as she vowed instead to see him in court.

Shortly after, the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights dispatched letters to Maine Education Commissioner Pender Makin and the superintendent of a local school district announcing a formal inquiry into how a transgender pole-vault champion was awarded a state championship earlier this week.

The investigation will review whether state and local policies are in compliance with Title IX federal protections for female athletes, which under an executive order signed by Trump Feb. 5 bars the participation of trans women in girls sports.

“Dear Commissioner Makin: The United States Department of Education’s (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) writes to inform you that it is initiating a directed investigation of the Maine Department of Education,” says the letter from Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights.

Show of hands if you will be as enthusiastic when a non-Republican president exercises the powers being consolidated in the executive branch right now?
Or had George Soros going thru our budget and agencies?


Governor Janet Mills isn't doing this for trans-gender athletes, she's doing it for you. She knows this isn’t about " them" it's about the power grab.
And the states that provide the most money to the Federal government are blue states. That is a fact.

Project 2025 is being ticked off page by page. Anybody that doesn't know this didn't read a single paragraph.
Is there a plot twist a la the movie No Way Out ? That is the growing belief.*

No one cares about persuading or arguing with MAGA anymore, and no one gives 1 shit about the people who regret their vote for DT when it hurts them.

It's almost too late, but here's a comic book version of the book if you are the slightest bit interested in what comes next. Or if you want to see where it will bite your ass.



*Here's an article about that. Byline Times is reputable.


A laughing emoji isn't a substitute for a substantive rejoinder
Mentioning Biden is completely ridiculous. Biden has nothing to do with the past month.

The hypocrisy of liberal democrats has no limits
Already happened when Obama weaponized IRS, FBI, CIA, how do you think they got 51 security assholes to claim Hunters laptop was Russian collusion and Obama wiretapping Trump plaza during an election was ok, not to mention the FBI, DNC, bought Steele investigation
Short memory or what is "Good for the goose is NOT for the gander"
Obama's IRS investigation of all conservative non profits
All those fake charges, guess all good if you’re on that side of the corruption

Obama hasn't held office since 2016.
What do past presidents have to do with Trump signing an executive order giving himself more power?
This is about the limits of executive orders.

This is about the Trump administration saying the constitution is unconstitutional.

What does he have to do with Trump threatening to withold funds that the Supreme Court in Train v. New York, a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision held that the President lacks the authority to withhold funds Congress has appropriated?

You are using the same old copy and paste shouting points that are a decade old.
The world and events are happening too fast for you to keep up with if you actually believe Hunter's laptop has any relevance to current events. I actually feel embarassed for you and that observation does not bring me any pleasure.
In order not to put you in that position, I almost don't want to comment on political threads here. That would be the caring thing thing to do, but I'm afraid this matter is more important than trying to save face for you.

I'm not trying to be an asshole or condescending, I'm saying no one who cares about this nation has the time to entertain your out-of-context and out-of-date responses.

You're not slipping, you're not old, you simply aren't aggressively seeking information like you used to.

Catch up or stand aside.



Short memory or what is "Good for the goose is NOT for the gander"

"Short memory". Sigh.
Knowledge, just basic, (or the ability to Google)of constitutional law is the only skill required in this new age.
Sincerely, this is why you aren't understanding what's happening around you, you are being distracted by bread, circuses, shiny things, and Hunter's laptop.
You run everything thru that filter.

Obama's IRS investigation of all conservative non profits

"An exhaustive report released by the Treasury Department's Inspector General in 2017 found that from 2004 to 2013, the IRS used both conservative and liberal keywords to choose targets for further scrutiny."

Please read the Treasury Department’s list of nonprofits audited by the IRS to view that conservative AND liberal ones were selected. That negates your assertion. Sorry.






All those fake charges, guess all good if you’re on that side of the corruption.

Again, what does this have to do with current events?
This is why you don't see what's coming.

Until you get up to date and can speak knowledgably about the slew of NEW events which have very little historical precedence and therefore cannot be compared to past actions, then I implore you, don't do this to yourself. You're intellectually capable, just being a bit lazy. I get it. I was that way about politics for a long time.
You KNOW I never want you to look silly.

Again hypocrisy, past counts when it favors the most hypocritical people alive
Haters will hate, bummer things have changed and when did the constitution ever stop a Democrat politician from being corrupt
You talk weaponized government I point out who did it. Past counts because those compromised assholes or those they indoctrinated are still in power and need to be removed. Until the last election nothing had changed, Obama's weaponized government was still in power
Trump had no support the first time around, had little influence to make the necessary changes, this time he has the people behind him and the corrupt democrat apparatus will be dismantled

@knockout i give you a lot of credit to reply or even read through that load of bullshit
 
MOST of ME hates her, the only place that likes her is portland... and it is about boys in womans sports and everything else... the school board meetings in some towns have been awesome to watch!

and sorry but you are WRONG, us republicans want ANYONE doing bull shit OUT.. the Rhinos included!!!! It isnt a Left against Right as the media has you and many others brain washed to believe... Trump is moderate, used to be a Dem, Tulsi a Dem, JFK was a Dem... it is about what is right and what is wrong!

We don't care if the person who did the bullshit has a R or D after their name... DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!!
 

The protest, called the "March Against Mills," was organized in conjunction with a petition to recall Governor Mills, that is currently sitting at over 22k signatures.​

 
Governor Janet Mills, you better be careful. If you want to cling to radical gender ideology and let biological males run amok in women's sports, then that is your choice. But if you choose to continue on that path, it will greatly hurt the state of Maine and its residents much more than the "men in women's sports" already, by itself, does and has.
 

DOJ slaps Title IX lawsuit on Maine over refusal to ban trans athletes in women’s sports​

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a civil lawsuit against the state of Maine Wednesday over officials’ refusal to comply with the Trump administration’s policies barring transgender female competitors from girls’ and women’s sports.

The Justice Department is accusing Maine of flouting Title IX, which bars sex-based discrimination in education programs that garner federal funding.

“It’s not only an issue in sports, it is a public safety issue,” Bondi told reporters. “These boys are allowed to go in the women’s restroom. They are allowed to go in the women’s dressing room and get fully naked and change … in front of these young women.”

“We are also considering whether to retroactively pull all the funding they have received for not complying in the past,” the AG added.
