00:20I'm Craig DeGrelli, and this is Media Missed Minute, where we zoom in on two stories largely ignored by partisan media.

00:27First, a story being overlooked by left-leaning outlets.

00:31Since taking office, President Trump has cut cancer research funding by hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:36Now he's pledging $50 million specifically for childhood cancer, including funds to explore AI solutions.

00:44The new money doubles the budget for NIH's Childhood Cancer Data Initiative,

00:49with a portion reserved just for researchers using artificial intelligence.

00:53Now to a story minimized by right-leaning media.

00:57A federal judge has temporarily blocked FEMA from diverting $233 million in disaster relief away from 12 Democratic-led states.

01:06The judge, appointed by Trump, called the move plainly illegal,

01:11suggesting the funds were being withheld to punish states that did not back the president's immigration policies.
