Democratic-led states sue to block Trump from $11 billion health funding cut

A coalition of state attorneys general sued the Trump administration over an $11 billion funding cut for COVID-19 initiatives and public health projects, claiming the cuts are illegal and lack a rational basis.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Rhode Island, asks the court to stop the Trump administration from rescinding funds allocated by Congress during the pandemic, mainly for COVID-related efforts like testing and vaccination.
Health officials in North Carolina estimate that the state could lose $230 million, harming local health departments and services.
North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson criticized the cuts, stating they would reverse progress on public health and leave hospitals in distress.
