A vindictive and petty tyrant

I heard about this last night. Payback for the governor, no doubt. Today he backtracks.
Earlier this week, officials at the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) said they were told by the Social Security Administration that the Trump administration had abruptly canceled two contracts halting the "Enumeration at Birth" process, which has been effect since the 1980s, that allows new parents to fill out a form at a hospital or health center to secure a Social Security number for their child, according to the Press Herald. The officials said no explanation was given. The directive would have also impacted electronic filing of death records at funeral homes.
