Statement from Congressman Dan Goldman on Trump Administration’s Termination of All Staff in the Office of Head Start for New York

"The Trump Administration’s decision to terminate staff at the Administration for Children and Families, including all staff within the regional Office of Head Start in New York, is a cruel assault not only on millions of children's health, safety, and education but also on parents’ ability to successfully continue productive careers. 

 

“This is not about reducing the deficit or rooting out waste, fraud and abuse—all of which I strongly support. This is simply an outright attack on the well-being of our nation's children and families so the Republicans can cut taxes for Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies. 

 

“Make no mistake: this Administration is coming after every essential program that everyday Americans rely on to chase the American Dream.“
