Supreme Court Rules for South Carolina in Medicaid Funding Fight
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that South Carolina has the power to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, in a technical interpretation over healthcare choices that has emerged as a larger political fight over abortion access.
The case, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, centers on whether low-income Medicaid patients can sue under what is known as Section 1983 – part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 – in order to choose their own qualified healthcare provider.
It involves South Carolina’s blocking of Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which the organization argued violated federal law. In a 6-3 decision, the Court noted that the typical redress for such a violation would be for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to withhold Medicaid funding from the state, not for an individual to sue the state.
«Section 1983 permits private plaintiffs to sue for violations of federal spending-power statutes only in ‘atypical’ situations … where the provision in question ‘clear[ly]’ and ‘unambiguous[ly]’ confers an individual ‘right,’» Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion, ruling that the law in question in the present case «is not such a statute.»…READ MORE.

Anxious Republicans turn to Trump amid divisions over ‘big, beautiful bill’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Republicans in the House and Senate are anxiously watching whether President Donald Trump will take a more aggressive approach in corralling GOP lawmakers in favor of his «big, beautiful bill.»
«President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, isn’t he? I think it’s incumbent upon him to make sure everybody in the Senate understands that this is a signature piece of legislation that essentially 77 million Americans voted for,» Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital.
The Senate is working through a massive piece of legislation advancing Trump’s agenda on tax, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt — which the president has said he wants on his desk by the Fourth of July.
Trump has been pushing Republicans on the bill in public, addressing it at back-to-back events on Thursday and Friday while also posting on his Truth Social platform.

Congressional leaders have said they’ve been in near-constant contact with Trump or his White House staff about the legislation. Indeed, numerous White House officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Vice President JD Vance, to push Senate Republicans to stay on course.
But some House Republicans want him to be as forceful as he was when their chamber passed the bill by just one vote in May. Trump summoned multiple groups of Republicans to the White House on several occasions in the lead-up to that vote, and even made a rare trip to Capitol Hill to gin up support within the House GOP.
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., told Fox News Digital that when the House was going through the motions of advancing the mammoth legislation, it «looked all but impossible» to get it across the finish line.
But it was because of Trump, he said, that the bill succeeded.
«He’s our closer in the bullpen right now,» he said. «His arm is getting warmed up, and we’ll bring him in here in the ninth inning, and he’s going to throw heat. And so far, he’s pitched a no-hitter.»
It’s worth noting that several senators who have expressed concerns about the bill have spoken individually with Trump.

But Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital showed varying degrees of enthusiasm when asked whether the president should repeat the intense involvement he had in the House.
When asked by Fox News Digital whether it’s time for the president to get involved, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas., said, «That’s up to the White House. It’s up to the president.»
But Roy added, «I think the Senate needs to deliver, and I think the Senate ought to make good on the agreement that the majority leader had with us and with the speaker to work with us to achieve that level of spending cuts.»
Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Penn., said Trump is «always involved, so he’ll stay involved because we do want to get it done by July 4th.»
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., said he was not being kept aware of how involved Trump was, but said the president’s deal-making skills would likely be needed.
«I mean, I think it’s gonna take that type of horsepower to kind of bring everybody together,» Fitzgerald said.
But some Republicans in the upper chamber are resistant.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., wouldn’t say whether he believed that Trump should put a finger on the scales more. But he told Fox News Digital that he was appreciative of the effort that Thune and Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, had put into getting feedback from Senate Republicans, but said that at a certain point, lawmakers just needed to vote on the bill.
«We have cussed and discussed this bill for a long, long time, and at some point you move from careful, rational deliberation into the foothills of jackassery,» Kennedy said. «And that’s where we are now. It’s time to vote. If people are unhappy, they can offer amendments.»
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

La República Democrática del Congo y Ruanda firmaron un acuerdo de paz, con la mediación de Estados Unidos

La República Democrática del Congo y Ruanda firmaron este viernes un acuerdo de paz -facilitado por Estados Unidos- que intentará poner fin a décadas de mortíferos combates en el este del Congo, a la par que buscará brindar al gobierno estadounidense y a empresas del país acceso a minerales críticos en la región.
El pacto, alcanzado tras meses de negociaciones, marca un paso significativo en los esfuerzos por frenar la violencia que ha devastado al este congoleño y que involucra a más de 100 grupos armados, entre ellos facciones respaldadas por Ruanda, provocando millones de muertes desde la década de 1990.
Precisamente, el documento suscrito prevé disposiciones sobre la protección de la integridad territorial, una prohibición de hostilidades y medidas concretas como la desmovilización, el desarme y la integración condicional de grupos armados no estatales.
De acuerdo con los términos del acuerdo, las partes se comprometen a respetar las fronteras internacionales y cesar acciones militares entre sí y contra sus ciudadanos y bienes. Además, se establecen mecanismos de verificación y seguimiento orientados a prevenir incursiones transfronterizas y el resurgimiento de la violencia, tradicionalmente alimentada por disputas étnicas, históricos resentimientos, y el control de los ricos yacimientos minerales de la región.
La ministra de Relaciones Exteriores del Congo, Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, celebró la noticia y aprovechó el momento, junto a su par ruandés, Olivier Nduhungirehe, para evocar la magnitud de la tragedia humanitaria vivida por la población congoleña.
“Algunas heridas sanarán, pero nunca desaparecerán por completo. Aquellos que han sufrido más están observando. Esperan que este acuerdo sea respetado, y no podemos fallarles”, dijo, en referencia al historial de acuerdos previos fracasados, así como al impacto profundo y sostenido de las hostilidades en la niñez, las comunidades desplazadas, sectores rurales, y en la estructura social y económica local.
Por su parte, Nduhungirehe valoró el potencial positivo de esta cooperación y sostuvo que “el crecimiento compartido y la cooperación transfronteriza desbloquearán dividendos tangibles para ambos países”.
“Debemos reconocer que hay una gran incertidumbre en nuestra región y más allá, porque muchos acuerdos anteriores no se han implementado, y no hay duda de que el camino que nos espera no será fácil. Pero con el apoyo continuo de Estados Unidos y otros socios, creemos que se ha alcanzado un punto de inflexión”, sumó el canciller ruandés.

El secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marco Rubio, también se expresó tras el anuncio y describió el acontecimiento como “un momento importante tras 30 años de guerra”, enfatizando no solo en las aspiraciones de paz de los pueblos afectados por el conflicto, sino también en los intereses internacionales involucrados en la estabilidad regional y el acceso de su país a los recursos estratégicos.
En tanto, el presidente Donald Trump destacó durante una conferencia de prensa que gracias a su intervención en “una de las peores guerras que cualquier persona haya visto” logró “reunirlos (a los bandos enfrentados) y negociarlo (el acuerdo)”.
“Y no solo eso, estamos obteniendo para Estados Unidos muchos de los derechos minerales del Congo”, sumó, en referencia al nuevo caudal de minerales críticos para sectores tecnológicos claves al que tendrá acceso en adelante, en medio de la carrera con China por la influencia y la explotación del continente africano.
Durante las negociaciones, la participación de Qatar también resultó clave; el país árabe del Golfo ofreció respaldo logístico y político para acercar las posiciones de las partes enfrentadas, a petición de la Casa Blanca y otras entidades internacionales.
