Judge Orders Trump Admin to Restore AAP Funding

Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore Funding to American Academy of PediatricsA federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to reinstate nearly $12 million in funding to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The funds support crucial programs like rural health care and early detection of disabilities in young children. The decision comes after the AAP sued the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for terminating seven grants that backed efforts to prevent sudden unexpected infant deaths, boost pediatric services in rural communities, and help teens dealing with substance use and mental health struggles. The AAP claims the cuts were retaliation for publicly challenging administration policies, while HHS insists the grants no longer fit their priorities. The judge ruled that the AAP would suffer irreparable harm without the money and that the public interest demands keeping these vital programs running while the lawsuit unfolds.
