The U.S. Supreme Court ruled to allow the Trump administration to cut funding for DEI-related research.

Jin10 reported on August 22 that on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 to allow the Trump administration to cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding related to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, partially overturning a previous ruling by a federal judge in Boston that had blocked the cuts. This marks the 18th time the Supreme Court has at least partially approved the government's emergency request during Trump's second term. In February of this year, NIH announced it would terminate funding projects that did not align with government policy priorities, prompting lawsuits from health groups and attorneys general from 16 Democratic states.
