Trump rescinds $1.5B in CDC and EV funds from four blue states

The Trump administration directed the Transportation Department to rescind $943 million from Colorado, Illinois, California, and Minnesota — primarily for electric vehicle charger infrastructure — and directed the CDC to rescind $602 million in state and local health grants from the same four states. OMB cited waste and mismanagement, but a federal judge in Illinois noted that recent statements suggested the real reason was hostility to sanctuary jurisdictions. A restraining order was quickly issued blocking the CDC rescissions.
