New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a legal victory in her fight against the Trump administration regarding illegal cuts to NIH funding. A U.S. District Court ruled against the administration's termination of grants tied to diversity, equity, inclusion, and health disparities. Judge William Young deemed the funding cuts racially discriminatory and ordered the restoration of over $4.5 million for New York-based projects. Young condemned the targeting of projects tied to themes of gender and sexuality, calling the actions arbitrary and unlawful.
"Young, a 1985 Reagan appointee, said at the hearing that he has 'never seen government racial discrimination like this' in his 40-year career, calling the funding cuts 'arbitrary and capricious, and unlawful' in his ruling."},{
