Senate cuts research funds for chemical and germ warfare
The Senate Armed Services Committee slashed more than 1 billion dollars from the Pentagon’s 1969 request for research and development of chemical and biological warfare agents. Only defenses against such agents remain funded, including masks and decontamination shelters, while offensive R&D was fully eliminated. The panel also recommended killing the Army heavy lift helicopter program and dropping the Navy airborne warning radar project, with total cuts nearing 1.04 billion dollars from the original 8.23 billion.

Court Blocks New York Medicaid 20 Percent Rule
A federal judge paused New Yorks 20 percent Medicaid contribution, delaying the policy until a three judge panel can rule on constitutionality. The order cites potential irreparable damage to low income recipients, including a mother of four earning only slightly above welfare, and affects about 500,000 users plus health workers amid widespread administrative confusion. The ruling does not halt a separate Medicaid economy that would cut about 200,000 of 850,000 current low income enrollees.
