The number of states involved is also consistent across sources, with Verification Source #3 mentioning "Twenty-two states" and Verification Source #1 mentioning "more than 20 states."
- Claim:** "The ruling preserves, for now, billions of dollars in grant money for 23 states and the District of Columbia." - Verification Source #1, Verification Source #3, and Verification Source #4 support the claim that the ruling preserves funding.

The number of states and the inclusion of the District of Columbia are slightly different from Verification Source #3, which mentions 22 states. This is a minor discrepancy.
