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.

Nearly two-thirds of the slashed money came from unspent California allocations. The Department of Health and Human Services claimed the grants simply "no longer reflect" current priorities. About two dozen programs targeted HIV and sexually transmitted infections, according to the report.
