Win for Maine as Trump officials agree to halt school funding freeze

Maine successfully avoided freezing funds for a child nutrition program after winning a settlement with the Trump administration. When Trump threatened to revoke funding during a White House meeting in February, Democratic Governor Janet Mills announced she would take the matter to court. After agreeing not to interfere with Maine's access to USDA funds and dropping its lawsuit, the state celebrated its victory by acknowledging the legal battle while reiterating its commitment to protecting states' rights against Trump's tactics. Meanwhile, an ongoing dispute over trans athletes in education remains unresolved.
