The Trump administration is planning to terminate $600M of CDC grants to CA, CO, MN, and IL. We're publishing the full list.
They are using vulnerable communities as a weapon to dismantle public health, targeting partisan enemies, and manipulating media.

@noamross CA, CO, MN and IL 
what could possibly be the common link between those States...
The administration circulated a list of "examples" of grants to be terminated. They pulled the most lurid "DEI" language from grant and program descriptions for these examples, and this language has been repeated in news stories for the past week.
Those programs make up about 5% of the cuts. The vast majority of the cuts are to basic public health infrastructure: things like recruitment, training, and IT systems for local health departments. 2/
Even below the state level, we see indicators of partisan targeting. Of the five Public Health Infrastucture Grants NOT terminated in these states, 3 are in Trump-voting counties, and one in big Republican donor Orange County. 3/
We are not powerless! Last month, the administration reversed massive cuts to to SAMHSA and CDC after public and congressional outcry. We can do that again. Call your representatives!
