Judge Steps In

A federal judge just put the brakes on the Trump administration’s plan to cut $600 million in HIV funding from states. California and other states got a temporary restraining order, which halts the funding cuts for 14 days while the court battle continues. It’s a temporary win for the states, but this fight is far from over.

What’s Next

The administration’s move to cut HIV funding is ridiculous, especially given the ongoing health crisis. It’s not like they don’t have better things to do. Now, the states get a brief reprieve, but they won’t be breathing easy until this whole thing is settled.
