(Lovelace Jr., 2/27) CBS News: U.S. Officials Walk Back Plans To Stop Culling Poultry For Bird Flu U.S. Department of Agriculture officials said Wednesday that there are "no anticipated changes" to the current federal policy requiring poultry to be culled in response to bird flu outbreaks, which have driven up egg prices to record highs in recent months. The decision marks a rebuke of an idea floated by Trump administration officials in recent weeks to change the policy. More than 35 million birds have been killed in response to bird flu outbreaks in commercial flocks so far this year, according to the USDA's figures. (Tin, 2/26) Stat: Trump Administration Shifts Bird Flu Policy From Health To Egg Prices  The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday an additional $1 billion to help the nation’s poultry industry combat an accelerating outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza, which has devastated farmers and driven the price of eggs to record highs. The infusion is part of a new strategy under the Trump administration that aims to boost financial relief to farmers whose flocks have been affected by the bird flu and aid in increasing biosecurity measures to prevent the spread from wild birds to domestic poultry operations. It also sets aside funds to develop vaccines and therapeutics for laying chickens.

Some Republicans said they were uneasy about voting for a budget resolution that could include cuts to Medicaid and nutrition assistance programs ahead of a House vote Tuesday. Although the budget doesn’t explicitly say Medicaid and other social safety net programs will face cuts, the magnitude of the cuts they’re proposing means that those programs are likely on the table. (Stein, Bollag and Garofoli, 2/26) NPR: Nearly All USAID Programs Have Been Cut By The Trump Administration The Trump administration is terminating thousands of USAID foreign assistance grants and awards, according to the State Department. The move effectively guts the six-decade-old agency. The announcement came just hours before a federal district court deadline for the Trump administration to restart payments on those grants. The government still owes more than $1 billion for work done before Trump's foreign aid freeze. But late Wednesday the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to vacate the lower court order to start funding those programs again, saying that it could not make the payments on the deadline set by the judge.
