Nashville mayor slams "chaos and cruelty" of Trump's first 100 days

Zoom in: Speaking during an online video chat with three other mayors, O'Connell singled out the citywide program Nashville Strong Babies, which helps new mothers get the resources they need to keep their children healthy. O'Connell said the federally backed program had helped improve maternal and infant mortality rates.

• Yes, but: O'Connell said his administration had received word that federal funding for the program would be cut by half.

What he's saying: "That is not efficiency," O'Connell said. "Protecting the early life of 1-year-olds, helping them see their life through to their first birthday, [and] helping moms with that support — that is where you actually save money with better health outcomes."
