The Trump administration sent hundreds of termination letters for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) grants Tuesday night. But then it reversed the cancellations Wednesday night.
The details:
The bigger picture: The cuts had primarily affected discretionary grant programs that often enjoy bipartisan support and that Trump has support in the past. That includes many programs included in the SUPPORT Reauthorization Act that Trump signed just 6 weeks ago.
BUT: The grants were restored late Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the cuts.
