The Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats because it finds the grants “inconsistent with agency priorities,” according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The programs slated to be cut are in California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota. They include grants to state and local public health departments as well as to some nongovernmental organizations. A list of the cuts was shared with relevant congressional committees on Monday.

The funds are administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They include grants given to states for a variety of purposes, including hiring staffs, modernizing data systems and managing disease outbreaks. Some programs are aimed at the needs of specific communities.

Some of the cuts will be finalized this week and others over the coming weeks, totaling roughly $600 million. The figure was first reported by The New York Post.

Nearly two-thirds of the funding is unspent money allocated to state and local public health departments in California.

1. More murders added to Trump's tally.

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Pure revenge. Can't the states sue?

[murielm99]

4. I hope they sue.

In addition to being blue states, these are states whose governors stand up to trump.
Colorado is the only one I don't know much about.

[Justice matters.]

5. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the pedora(c,p)ist...

was disqualified to run for president since he got indicted for leading an insurrection.

10. Colorado/Gov Polis

stood up to Trump.......Trump wanted to Pardon a Colorado Republican election official who is serving a 9? year Prison Term, for her covert and corrupt tampering with voting machines here in Colorado (along with some Quasi, geek Trumphumpers)......
Trump can't Pardon her, because it is a State Matter..........so Trump is trying everything to make Gov. Polis/(Colroado) pay, for
saying NO to her being pardoned.......
He has been withholding federal money from Blue States and Blue Cities for quite sometime.......he is trying to punish the people in Colorado for fighting him, and not kneeling and kissing his ring......It is extortion to the max.

We here in Colorado are facing the distinct probability of Major Forest fires like never before, Trump has openly stated for Colorado not to count on ANY Federal wildland Firefighters to help out

His buddy Gov. Abbott, down in Texas, bussed 20-40,000 LEGAL immigrants to Denver Colorado last fall....and dropped them off in Downtown Denver....

7. If This Holds

Up on court, and I was governor, I’d focus the cuts in the Republican parts of my states. Fair is fair, right?

If these are the political games Republicans are going to play, then why not apply them back at them. Just like some states are doing with their congressional maps.

12. Great idea

If it can be logistically done.

[Sogo]

3. He's such an arsehole.

....

[Justice matters.]

6. kingpig pedora(c,p)ist has not killed enough Americans yet.

So the GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) in the injustice department keep covering up for him.

[Initech]

8. We need to cut him from the White House.

[Skittles]

9. I hope the Trump voters in those states see the FAFO

and they can FUCK THEMSELVES while they're at it

11. Extortion

This is straight up extortion! "Vote for me! Like me! Allow me to do what I want or else I'll make you suffer!"

He might as well say it out loud!

[Owens]

13. Bring on the Lawsuits

He does realize his followers live in these states too?

[HighFired49]

14. Dump doesn't control funds that Congress has appropriated

From many sites via Google: "The Constitution and the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 generally prohibit the president from refusing to spend, or delaying, funds that Congress has already appropriated." He has been told over and over that he doesn't control spending. Sue his ass again, or better yet, IMPEACH HIM!
