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.
