The New York mayor’s popular moves on rent and free childcare defied rightwing predictions of a far-left hellscape

A federal judge ruled on Friday that the Trump administration cannot block federal money for childcare subsidies and other programs aimed at supporting low-income families with children from flowing to five Democratic-led states for now.

The mayor said he expected about 2,000 children to be covered by the program this fall.
