Supreme Court Gives Trump More Power
The Supreme Court has sided with President Donald Trump, ruling that his administration can proceed with deep cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants that were funding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) projects and gender ideology research.
This is a huge win for taxpayers and a major setback for the Left’s effort to embed social activism into federally funded medical research.
Ending Wasteful Spending at NIH
The NIH is the largest biomedical research funder in the world, with billions of your tax dollars at stake. Under Trump’s reforms, the NIH will no longer waste nearly $783 million on projects labeled as “low-value” and “off-mission,” including studies promoting DEI, gender ideology, and COVID-era vaccine propaganda.
Instead, Trump’s administration is redirecting funds to real priorities like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and lifesaving treatments that actually benefit Americans.
Supreme Court Overturns Liberal Judge
In June, Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee who drifted left over the years, tried to block Trump’s cuts. He called them “arbitrary and capricious.” But the Supreme Court rejected his reasoning and gave the green light for Trump to move forward.
This is not the first time. Since Trump returned to office, lower courts have repeatedly tried to stall his policies—only to be overturned by the Supreme Court, where conservatives now hold a 6–3 majority.
Trump’s America First Agenda in Action
From day one, President Trump promised to drain the swamp and cut out taxpayer-funded support for woke programs. These NIH cuts are part of that broader strategy.
The administration argued that Judge Young’s ruling forced NIH to continue funding projects that contradict American values and waste taxpayer money. Now, with the Court’s decision, Trump can fully implement his reforms.
Left-Wing Backlash
Democrat-led states and liberal organizations immediately filed lawsuits to protect the DEI grants. They claimed the canceled projects covered breast cancer, HIV prevention, suicide, and minority health disparities.
But critics point out that much of this research was laced with social activism, prioritizing politics over real science. For years, taxpayer dollars have been funneled into woke experiments that produce little benefit for everyday Americans.
Why This Matters for You
- Your tax dollars are no longer being wasted on “diversity” projects that do nothing to cure diseases.
- Real medical research—cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease—will now receive the focus it deserves.
- The decision proves that Trump delivers on his promises to cut waste, fight bureaucracy, and put America First.
The Bottom Line
President Trump just scored another major victory at the Supreme Court. By cutting DEI and gender ideology grants at the NIH, his administration is protecting taxpayers, refocusing medical research, and keeping radical left-wing ideology out of science.
For conservatives, this ruling is proof that the Trump agenda is working—less waste, more accountability, and America First.
