Court Orders Trump Administration to Halt Plans to Gut National Institutes of Health
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the
National Institutes of Health from implementing severe cuts to research
funding imposed by the Trump administration. This comes after 22 states,
including Massachusetts, filed a lawsuit Monday arguing the move would
eviscerate studies into treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's, heart
disease and other chronic conditions.
