The "Big Beautiful Bill" that recently passed through Congress and was signed by President Trump includes the end of taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood (which in turn ends up donating to Democrat political campaigns).
What happened next might not surprise you:
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ BREAKING: A judge has blocked the Trump administration's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and ordered that it keep getting Medicaid funds.

From the Associated Press:
A federal judge on Monday ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights President Donald Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.
The new order replaces a previous edict handed down by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston last week. Talwani initially granted a preliminary injunction specifically blocking the government from cutting Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood members that didn’t provide abortion care or didn’t meet a threshold of at least $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in a given year.
The Democrats like to call Trump the "authoritarian threat to democracy" but as usual that's just more projection. Here we have a judge trying to halt parts of a bill that Congress passed and the president signed:
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ This may be the most baseless, insane ruling I've ever seen. This Obama-appointed judge ruled *Congress* can't defund Planned Parenthood because it might lead to "unintended pregnancies" and less access to contraceptives. Holy crap.
Democrats always choose the most ignorant dumbasses to drape black robes over. Listen up, dingbat ... The United States Constitution does not say one word about "unintended pregnancies" or "contraceptives." You really need to read The U.S. Constitution because you will find that the courts do NOT have any authority over government spending ... THAT is the domain of Congress with a sign-off by the POTUS ... which is exactly what happened, here. YOU are the one who is being unconstitutional - and infantile.
Another smackdown of an activist judge is expected.
Sunny (@sunnyright) ~ A federal judge doesn’t get to decide that Congress must keep funding abortion, and this federal judge is about to get slapped down on appeal.
Philip Klein (@philipaklein) ~ Absolutely reckless for judges to claim power to force Congress to fund what it has chosen not to fund.
Well, this unconstitutional activism by Democrat-appointed judges happens so often because Democrats despise The United States Constitution and choose idiots who ignorantly believe themselves (and their Democrat masters) to be above The U.S. Constitution. Such reckless, intentional disregard of The U.S. Constitution is treason, which warrants the immediate impeachment and dismissal of such judges.
Conservative Masshole (@TheTimDeFelice) ~ Since when do district court judges appropriate federal funds? I must’ve missed that nonexistent clause in the Constitution.
The lefties defending this judge are some of the same ones who say Trump doesn't respect the constitutional order. Go figure.
Oh, it's easy to figure ... Democrats are liars who try to do the very nefarious things they falsely accuse others of doing.
