Summary

Democratic leaders in 23 states and Washington, DC, sued the Trump administration over its abrupt rollback of $12 billion in public health funding.

The lawsuit seeks to halt the cuts, which include $11.4 billion from the CDC and $1 billion from behavioral health programs, arguing the funds were lawfully allocated by Congress for long-term health infrastructure.

Critics warn the move will disrupt pandemic preparedness and addiction services. HHS defends the cuts as aligned with Trump's new health priorities.

Not spinning this news hard enough.

"Trump has empowered states to take control of their own healthcare and disaster infrastructure by freeing them of the onerous red tape associated with this dirty CDC money. No longer will the federal government have yuge financial control over your states' medical industry! Now every state is free to tailor care and disaater response to the unique needs of their people! It's freedom folks, plain and simple."

Yuck. I think the vomit is starting to pour from my ears. I'm kind of worried that I was even able to type that dreck.
