That funding was also congressionally appropriated, and the president does not have the right to stop it. from being sent to the states after it's already been appropriated. So some good wins yesterday. And that's been our hallmark so far.

We've been winning our cases, broadly speaking, getting injunctions, temporary restraining orders, stopping the president from his unconstitutional and unlawful activity.

Talk to us about that lawsuit. While not surprising, unfortunately, it's always shocking when you think about it as a human being and the common sense, science-based, evidence-based, data-driven steps that we've taken to save lives, extend life, improve people's health. We're a long way away from waste, fraud, and abuse here. These are the opposite of waste, fraud, and abuse.

These are core, essential, critical services that, as you rightfully say, save people's lives. And there's this ongoing attempt to dismantle critical agencies at the education department, health and human services, and the critical services that they provide. They're dismantling them, they're firing employees, they're pulling away our resources and critical services.

And so, it's hard to understand the point. You appropriately propose that maybe cruelty is the point. It's certainly the impact and the outcome. And, you know, governments provide critical essential services and they're taking them away and stripping them away, including in the health and human services area where people's lives are at risk because of these cuts.

We are massively under-invested when it comes to mental health. We need to do more. People need services yesterday. They need access. We have high levels of anxiety and depression and other trauma, and we need trauma-informed care. And these cutbacks are absolutely devastating. As a government, you're supposed to invest in the services and programs that meet the need, that meet the demand.

And the demand for mental health services is through the roof, and so we need to be investing and doing more, not cutting back and pulling back. And so, again, you know, the irony you point out or the hypocrisy is very appropriate when you talk about gun violence. Republicans like to say guns don't kill people, people kill people, and mental health is the issue.
