You know, this is interesting.

Speaking at that press conference this week, Mary Solheim, a child care provider in Maplewood, Minnesota, said this funding freeze could be devastating for kids and their working parents around the country.

Solheim also voiced dismay that one social media influencer could disrupt the child care system so dramatically.

without feeling scared to come to work every single day.

Now, again, Michelle, NPR has asked federal officials for clarification about what evidence they have of any wrongdoing.

We've also asked what process states will have to go through now to scrutinize thousands of child care providers around the country in order to get these federal dollars flowing again.

We just don't yet have answers to any of those questions.

Thank you.

The oath was administered to Mamdani in a ceremony held in a historic subway station under City Hall by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

Congratulations, Mr. Mayor.

Mamdani was born in Uganda to parents originally from India.

At a time when President Trump has sought to limit immigration from Muslim and African countries, Mamdani swept to victory, promising to make New York City more affordable and building a movement of young voters.

After his swearing in, he flashed his trademark grin.

A larger public ceremony will take place later on New Year's Day on the steps of City Hall.
