Trump admin yanks $600M from four blue states including for HIV prevention

The Trump administration is yanking $600 million in public health funding from four blue states — California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota — claiming the grants don't align with agency priorities.

Documents obtained by The New York Times reveal the sweeping cuts to programs administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The funds, used for hiring staff, modernizing data systems, and managing disease outbreaks, will be terminated over the coming weeks after congressional committees were notified Monday.
