Judge torched for Planned Parenthood order: ‘Her court looks like a fast food drive-through’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A federal judge drew enormous backlash from Republicans after she blocked the Trump Administration on Monday from following through on a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that strips federal funding from Planned Parenthood.
Critics of Judge Indira Talwani said her fast-acting decision to grant Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion vendor, a temporary restraining order was an extraordinary overreach of judicial authority.
Tom Jipping, a senior legal fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital the judge’s move was «obviously out of bounds.»
«What you have here is Congress exercising its explicit constitutional authority to make spending decisions, and you have a district judge arguably trying to exercise power she doesn’t have to force Congress to change,» Jipping said.

Talwani, a Boston-based judge appointed by former President Barack Obama, issued the temporary order, which lasts 14 days, after Planned Parenthood sued the government over the One Big Beautiful Act, a massive tax and budget bill. The provision stripped Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, which the nonprofit said could force it to close roughly 200 of its 600 facilities and deprive about one million customers of non-abortion-related services.
Congress narrowly passed the bill with no support from Democrats last week, and Trump signed it into law on July 4.
Talwani’s brief two-page order came on the same day Planned Parenthood sued, and it contained only the explanation that the nonprofit showed «good cause» for the temporary relief.
«I don’t know how fast that judge reads, but she issued her TRO within a couple of hours,» Jipping said. «That makes her court look like a fast food drive-through.»
Sen. Mike Lee, a lawyer and Senate Judiciary Committee member, said he believed the judge’s order was not an innocent mistake and floated the idea that the House could initiate impeachment proceedings against the judge.
«We have the best judicial system in the world, but it’s run by fallible, mortal humans. People make mistakes. But unless I’m missing something here, this wasn’t an honest mistake,» Lee said. «This was a pretty egregious judicial usurpation of legislative power.»

Bill Shipley, a former federal prosecutor who once represented numerous Jan. 6 defendants, suggested on X that the First Circuit Court of Appeals reassign the case.
«The only way District Judges are going to be disciplined to adhere to their role is if they are sanctioned for brazenly ignoring the limits of their authority for partisan ends,» Shipley wrote.
Talwani set a hearing for July 21 to consider arguments from Planned Parenthood and the named agencies in the lawsuit, Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) could challenge the order in the interim. DOJ chief of staff Chad Mizelle said the judge’s restraining order amounted to «lawless overreach,» and he called for the Supreme Court to intervene.
The order came in response to Planned Parenthood claiming in its lawsuit that Congress’s budget bill unconstitutionally targeted Planned Parenthood because it performs abortions.

Opponents of abortion have focused their energy on weakening Planned Parenthood in the years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and the passage of the budget bill marked a milestone success for them. Some told Fox News Digital recently that it was one of several steps they needed to take to address the glaring fact that abortions remain prevalent and could even be on the rise.
Attorneys for Planned Parenthood said Medicaid does not cover abortion and that depriving Planned Parenthood of its hundreds of thousands of dollars in Medicaid reimbursements would cause more than half of its customers to lose access to services that do not include abortion.
Cancer and sexually transmitted infections would go undetected, especially for low-income people, and more unplanned pregnancies would occur because of a lack of contraception access, the Planned Parenthood attorneys said.
«The adverse public health consequences of the Defund Provision will be grave,» the attorneys wrote.

Some Democrats celebrated Talwani’s order but did not address the legality of it.
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) said on Bluesky that the judge in her home state delivered «some good news» for people who have relied on Planned Parenthood for health care.
«But make no mistake: our fight is far from over,» Clark wrote.

Jewish leader predicts violent future for NYC residents if Mamdani wins in November: ‘Real concern’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A New York City Jewish leader is speaking out about the possibility of a Zohran Mamdani term as mayor of New York City, telling Fox News Digital he is concerned about the safety of Jewish residents, as well as all New Yorkers.
Scott Feltman, executive vice president of the One Israel Fund, told Fox News Digital that the Jewish community in the country’s largest city is «not against» a Muslim or any person of faith running for office, but what they do oppose is candidates that «align themselves with nefarious actors» like Hamas or Hezbollah.
«He was just recorded at a local mosque where the Imam of that mosque has basically called for the death of IDF soldiers and praised the efforts of Hamas,» Feltman said. «So that’s what we’re opposed to, and it’s a very, very real serious concern.»
Feltman pointed to the rise of antisemitic attacks in recent years, particularly in New York City, which he says has «created a certain trepidation in the Jewish community and having this particular candidate now making such inroads» is a «real concern.»

Two Israeli embassy staffers were killed in Washington, D.C., earlier this year by a man shouting «free Palestine» around the same time that an Egyptian man targeted a pro-Israel demonstration, killing one person and injuring several others, in Boulder, Colorado.
«I know that every single day I fear for my own staff knowing that our organization has been called out by this candidate, and we have no idea, you know, who’s following him and what their interests and what their actions may be. So it is a real serious concern.»
Mamdani, along with actress Cynthia Nixon, called out the One Israel Fund earlier this month in a post Feltman responded to with an article in American Thinker.
«When you go out and you align yourselves with terminology like globalize the intifada, which is basically a euphemism for kill Jews all over the world, that’s what it is, the intifada was basically a movement in Israel 25 years ago to destroy the state of Israel and didn’t discriminate against civilian or military personnel,» Feltman told Fox News Digital.

«And when you want to globalize that, the messaging is very clear to the people who are listening and following and that has put many people in the Jewish community, if not all of us, on notice and has created the feeling of genuine concern. I’m concerned for New York City in general. It’s not just the Jewish community. His platform of defunding the police and basically offering all kinds of free things to people, which I don’t think he can even accomplish, even though he keeps doubling down on the rhetoric, but just defunding the police puts everyone here in jeopardy.»
Mamdani has been widely criticized for his initial failure to condemn the phrase «globalize the intifada», which many Jewish people view as a call for violence. Mamdani eventually walked back his initial reluctance by saying he discourages people from using the phrase and told business leaders he would not use it.

Feltman referred to Mamdani as a «social media darling» and complimented the way he has been able to mobilize voters but said, ultimately, while discussing his rise, that the education system has done a «tremendous injustice to our children, especially on the university level where we see antisemitism exploding exponentially.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s campaign for comment.

UN court rules wealthy nations pay up for climate change damages in controversial global ruling
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The United Nations’ highest court on Wednesday ruled that wealthy countries must comply with their commitments to curb fossil fuels and pollution or risk being held financially liable by nations hit the hardest by climate change.
The 15-member U.N. International Court of Justice said that treaties compel rich nations to curb global warming and that the countries were also responsible for the actions of companies under their jurisdiction or control, Reuters reported.
«States must cooperate to achieve concrete emission reduction targets,» Judge Yuji Iwasawa said at The Hague. «Greenhouse gas emissions are unequivocally caused by human activities which are not territorially limited.»

Failure to do so could result in «full reparations to injured states in the form of restitution, compensation and satisfaction provided that the general conditions of the law of state responsibility are met,» the report states.
In response to the ruling, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital that «as always, President Trump and the entire Administration is committed to putting America first and prioritizing the interests of everyday Americans.»
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the court opinion affirms that Paris climate agreement goals need to be the basis of all climate policies.

Wednesday’s ruling was hailed by a number of small nation states.
«I didn’t expect it to be this good,» said Ralph Regenvanu, the climate minister for the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu.
