By breaking a different one?

I mean, yeah, it's predictable. But it's not great.

If you think that's bad, you should dig into state agency violations of PRWORA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Responsibility_and_Wo.... Lot's of illegal conduct going on in blue states.

What, this?

> HHS rescinded its 1998 interpretation of the term (63 FR 41658) and expanded the agency’s interpretation of “Federal public benefit” to include programs, including Head Start and numerous community health-related programs.

Yeah, I'm not inclined to view clear and open violations of a law the same as "the Feds said it was fine for 27 years, including Trump's first term".

You'll need stronger whataboutism than that.

There's lots of programs being funded that aren't covered by that HHS guidance.

Then why don't you highlight a specific case we can talk about, rather than darkly but vaguely hinting?
