this is great news, but it caused enormous stress & wasted huge amounts of time for no reason.
"After a political backlash from Republicans and Democrats, the Department of Health and Human Services has reversed course and the grant money will be restored."

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
