Pediatrics group sues HHS for cutting funds for children's health programs

The American Academy of Pediatrics has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to block nearly $12 million in cuts to its children's health programs. The funding supports various public health initiatives, including preventing sudden unexpected infant death and supporting teens with substance use and mental health challenges. The lawsuit claims the cuts were made in retaliation for the group's opposition to the Trump administration's positions and actions.
