Trump Admin Cuts $600 Million in Public Health Grants to Four Democratic States
TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration plans to rescind about $600 million in CDC public health grants to four Democratic-led states (California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota) and related NGOs, saying the funds don’t align with agency priorities. The cuts affect health departments, data-system upgrades, and HIV/STD programs, with California holding much of the unspent money; critics warn the move could undermine local public health during outbreaks, while the administration maintains it is realigning funding with its priorities.
