COURT SIDES WITH TRUMP — NIH research grants that promote diversity, equity and inclusion and what the Trump administration calls “gender ideology extremism” can now be terminated, following a Supreme Court decision, POLITICO’s Josh Gerstein reports.

By a 5-4 vote, the justices lifted an order a federal court judge in Boston issued forcing the NIH to restore funding for more than 1,700 grants focused on heart disease, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, alcohol and substance abuse and mental health issues.

The administration had requested relief on the grounds that the federal government shouldn’t be required to pay for research — which it said amounted to $783 million in grants — not aligned with President Donald Trump’s executive orders and his administration’s priorities.

Key context: U.S. District Judge William Young ordered the health-related grants restored in June, following lawsuits filed by impacted grant recipients and 16 Democratic-led states complaining of cuts to programs at their state universities.

Once again, the SCOTUS vacates the orders of a stupid Boston inferior Federal District Court judge who cannot follow the rules of procedure, he has no jurisdiction. You cannot sue in Federal District Court for money. All of those types of cases must seek relief in the United States Court of Federal Claims. So Trump can cancel one billion worth of grants to the NIH. More winning, the 17th or 18th consecutive win at the SCOTUS for the President.

Trump can end DEI research

Cool.

funding for more than 1,700 grants focused on heart disease, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, alcohol and substance abuse and mental health issues.

Not cool.

How the fuck is this a win for anyone other than a pedo's ego?

Because the money is filtered though Democrat leftwing NGOs before that money reaches a victim, if it ever does. As Doge has confirmed a lot of these kinds of grants are rife with corruption and political money laundering.

DOGE was a massive failure, you twit.

Victim? That's not the right word. Jesus Christ on a crutch.

This wasn't a 'win'. That's just a setback for leftist lawfare...for the moment.

A real win from the Supreme Court would be in saying that the courts had no fucking business interfering in a matter of clearly Executive purview.

The fact is Biden appointed judges are showing themselves as being either stupid or ignorant of the law. Specifically the Administrative Procedure Act which defines the jurisdiction of federal courts in cases involving money:

From the decision:

"As today’s order states, the District Court likely lacked jurisdiction to hear challenges to the grant terminations, which belong in the Court of Federal Claims (CFC). See Department of Ed. v. California, 604 U. S. ___ (2025)(per curiam). In my view, however, the Government is not entitled to a stay of the judgments insofar as they vacate the guidance documents."

DOGE started a conversation about government waste. Now Congress has to take up the torch and do their job.

Which they won't. Because the truth is that both sides (in general) love money and power more than they love their country.

Whose CEO's contribute generously to the democrat candidates. While the democrats are the worst offenders, as Baz points out, the republicans are part of the problem as well. It's up to Trump to hold their feet to the fire but even he as to take care because he needs those votes to advance his agenda.

Sounds like the Plaintiffs filed in the wrong court.

Sauer also put forward the argument that appeared to carry the day Thursday: Congress has mandated legal disputes over federal government grants and contracts be pursued only in the Court of Federal Claims.

I don't know how many of these 'money' suits the SCOTUS has slapped down recently but the inferior courts still keep trying to give the taxpayers monies away.
