The U.S. Department of Agriculture has temporarily halted spending to all of the programs it funds at University of Maine System schools, a system spokesperson announced Tuesday morning.
The move temporarily pauses the system's agricultural research and programs weeks after President Donald Trump threatened to cut funding for Maine because it allows transgender athletes to compete in sports.
The university system has $56.1 million in active USDA grants, most of which support the flagship campus in Orono and agriculture programs and research, according to spokesperson Samantha Warren.

We will see how long 5he teacher’s u ion there support the lesbian mayor or gov or whatever position she holds
Trump is a shock to people who got used to words not meaning anything.
If their Univ.s’ research grants are suspended, THAT’S when you’ll hear the hog squealing
They’ll all be up in their trees like a bunch of howler monkeys! 😁
They’ll find a judge to enjoin it, so it’ll have to be resolved by the USSC. Glad Trump is starting the fight now.
No problem.....until then NO FEDERAL MONEY.
Mentally stunted howler monkeys 😆
FAFO Ms. Mills.
Trump means business ending this transgender madness in Women’s sports and Governor Janet Mills is an idiot to think this is an issue to draw a line in the sand. Public opinion also overwhelmingly supports getting trans men out of Women’s sports. The next idiot governor to face this issue is Minnesota Governor, Tampon Tim Walz.
Enjoy pretending that mentally ill men are women, backward freaks.
Most likely “make work” research. Maine needs to be weaned off of fed money. The Mainiacs love to be so independent. OK...go it alone
Good. Pound them into the ground. From a UMaine graduate, resident and taxpayer.
