HHS cancels half billion+ dollars in unnecessary Grants

We Were Paying for What? Trump HHS Slashes Hundreds of Millions in Woke LGBTQ Grants

The Trump administration’s Health and Human Services Department has canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in grants dedicated to researching illegal sexual behavior in children, pregnancy prevention for “transgender boys,” and so-called sleep inequality affecting black sexual-minority men.

In March, HHS canceled at least $530 million of funding for LGBTQ+ health research programs, according to a grant tracker from Noam Ross of rOpenSci and Scott Delaney of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

HHS previously provided more than $990 million of grant funding to LGBTQ+ health research programs, according to the tracker.

The National Institutes of Health’s newly sworn-in director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, said that under his tutelage, the agency would shift its priorities toward “research aimed at preventing, treating, and curing chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and many others that cause so much suffering and deaths among all Americans.

The priority shift included cutting funding for studies focused on radical gender ideology, critical race theory, and other topics that polls show to be wildly unpopular with Americans.

Woke...Democrats coined it..."Woke is an adjective derived from African-American English used since the 1930s or earlier to refer to awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination" Merriam Webster. Although the terminology has changed, it's only a power struggle between Progressives and Conservatives who want to change everything like demolishing statutes or our prior history as examples from Democrats. History is history and Republicans want to keep it that way, good or bad.
