    Senator Collins Calls $810 Million Pocket Rescission Unlawful

    Senator Susan Collins criticized the Trump administration's $810 million pocket rescission, arguing that it breaks the law. The package includes $600 million from HHS, targeting refugee assistance, patient safety research, and minority health grants. Collins, the Senate Appropriations Committee chair, accused the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of undermining Congress' power of the purse. The White House defended the cuts, citing the president's authority under the Impoundment Control Act. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has previously ruled that pocket rescissions are illegal.

The study, published in PLOS One, examined over 157,000 cats across the continent. While the presence of a cat in the home does not guarantee an infection risk, experts recommend maintaining good hygiene practices and monitoring pets for any persistent digestive issues.
