President Donald Trump snagged a massive Supreme Court victory this week after taking several losses at the hands of federal judges in recent months.
According to Breitbart, the high court "allowed the Trump administration to freeze roughly $65 million in teacher training grants that reportedly promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies."
The move came as one of the major cost-cutting measures led by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Supreme Court's decision "lifts a lower order that ordered" the Department of Education to resume the grants across eight different states.
The cost-cutting measure carried out Trump's mission to essentially end every trace of DEI-related funding by the American taxpayer, but like many other cost-cutting measures, met immediate legal resistance.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 that the Trump admin can block teacher development grants which may be promoting DEI.
This ruling lifts a lower judge’s order that forced the Education Department to resume these grants.

The high court explained its reasoning for the decision in a statement.
"Respondents have represented in this litigation that they have the financial wherewithal to keep their programs running,” the court wrote in its ruling. “So, if respondents ultimately prevail, they can recover any wrongfully withheld funds through suit in an appropriate forum."
The Hill noted that "the decision is not a final ruling in the case, and the dispute could ultimately return to the Supreme Court."
Breitbart added:
Breitbart News’s Katherine Hamilton reported in February that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, “slashed 29” DEI teacher training grants totalling $101 million.
Users across social media weighed in on the high court's backing of Trump's ability to slash the programs, and many questioned why it was only a 5--4 decision.
"5-4 is way too freaking close man. Huge win, but still. That needs to be like 7-2," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "1 down, 50 million more judges orders to remove to go."
Hopefully, Trump's luck with the Supreme Court will continue as he battles Democrat-appointed federal judges across the country who are putting political activism ahead of the law.
