- Documents reviewed by The New York Times show the Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in health funds from California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota, and a list of cuts was shared with congressional committees Monday.
- OMB launched a January review requiring states to submit detailed receipts and last month paused $5 billion in public health infrastructure grants for review, citing waste and mismanagement.
- Targeted grants include $7.2 million to the American Medical Association, Illinois, and $876,000 to UCSF's Prevention Research Center, with most cuts from unspent California allocations.

- With the CDC's revised priorities, Office of Management and Budget is positioning itself to target $943 million at the Department of Transportation and $602 million at CDC, citing `social engineering` and `Marxist equity`.
