BREAKING—we are leading a lawsuit against HHS for the illegal and harmful termination of public health and behavioral health funding. 👇

Colorado Attorney General @coattnygeneral.bsky.social · Apr 1

AG Phil Weiser is co-leading a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Sec. Kennedy over HHS' illegal termination of $11 billion in critical public health grants, including $229 million for Colorado. Read more: bit.ly/3FRh9cQ

Public health professionals wearing protective gear overlaid with a headline reading "Attorney General Weiser sues HHS, Secretary Kennedy to overturn illegal public health grant cuts." The AG seal is visible in the upper righthand corner and an arrow pointing right is in the lower left corner.]

Text reads: "What's happening? The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services abruptly and illegally terminated $11 billion in public health grants, including $229 million for Colorado. Those grants fund: Infectious disease management, Emergency preparedness, Substance abuse services."

Text reads: Colorado public health agencies will need to dissolve or disband critical programs and initiatives. This includes immunization distribution and infectious disease surveillance and monitoring, and substance abuse treatment. The cuts threaten Colorado when diseases like bird flu and measles are on the rise.

Text reads: "AG Weiser is co-leading this lawsuit, with 23 other AGs and state leaders.

The lawsuit seeks:
A temporary restraining order to invalidate Secretary Kennedy and HHS’ mass terminations of grants, which they argue violated federal law."

I've been following stories about rideshare drivers rejecting riders with service dogs for a few years.

Uber is trying to stop that from happening with a new tool it recently created, but some advocates aren't sure it will work.
