… Simple: the funding didn’t align with HHS’s mission or priorities. This is the same reason many other grants outside AAP were terminated. HHS is not obligated to fulfill AAP’s employment or spending desires with American taxpayer dollars. The arrogance behind this lawsuit is staggering — AAP seems to believe it’s their money to spend as they please. Wrong! It’s our money, and it’s HHS’s duty to protect taxpayers from wasteful spending. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. The days of unchecked funding for radical causes are over.
