Federal judge blocks Trump administration from defunding some Planned Parenthood facilities

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from stripping some Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood after Congress and President Donald Trump agreed to partially defund the nonprofit through passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts said in her order partially granting a preliminary injunction that the bill unconstitutionally punishes Planned Parenthood member organizations that do not provide abortions.
The injunction will risk «at most minimal harm—financial or otherwise» to the Trump administration while the lawsuit proceeds, Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote.
The judge’s order appears to apply to some but not all Planned Parenthood facilities. The nonprofit said in a statement that it viewed Talwani’s order as a partial win and remained «hopeful» that the judge would take further judicial action down the line.
«This isn’t over,» the organization said. «While we’re grateful that the court recognized the harm caused by this law, we’re disappointed that not all members were granted the necessary relief today.»

Talwani’s order arose from a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a massive budget bill that passed Congress this month with no Democrat support. Trump signed the bill into law on July 4.
A provision in the bill stripped Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, which the nonprofit said could force it to close about 200 of its 600 facilities and deprive about half of its customers, more than one million people, of services that do not include abortion.
Planned Parenthood attorneys noted in court filings that Medicaid typically does not cover abortion.

The attorneys argued that the bill would cause cancer and sexually transmitted infections to go undetected, especially for low-income people, and that more unplanned pregnancies would occur because of a lack of contraception access. They said the consequences of losing Medicaid funding «will be grave.»
Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys had previously argued in court filings that the purpose of the budget provision was to stop «federal subsidies for Big Abortion» by freezing federal funds for certain Medicaid recipients who provide abortions. Weakening Planned Parenthood has been one of the pro-life movement’s leading priorities since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Talwani granted a temporary restraining order two weeks ago in favor of Planned Parenthood. The judge initially offered no explanation for her decision, a move that led to widespread backlash among Republicans who described it as judicial overreach. Days later, Talwani offered more context in a subsequent order.

The preliminary injunction will partially leave in place the pause on defunding Planned Parenthood indefinitely, but the Trump administration is likely to appeal the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
The judge noted that her injunction applied to Planned Parenthood entities that do not provide abortion services or receive less than $800,000 in annual Medicaid reimbursements.
DOJ attorneys had previously argued to the court that blocking a measure that was passed by Congress and signed by the president was an extraordinary move and unjustified.

«Beyond the futility of the claims on the merits, Planned Parenthood fails to demonstrate imminent irreparable harm to justify an injunction, asserting only classically reparable economic injury and irrelevant potential harm to patients, who are third parties not before this Court,» DOJ attorneys wrote.

Astronautas de la Crew-10 de SpaceX completaron su misión y regresaron a la Tierra tras cinco meses en la Estación Espacial Internacional

Cuatro astronautas regresaron este sábado a la Tierra tras casi cinco meses en la Estación Espacial Internacional (EEI), según informó el Centro Espacial Kennedy de la NASA. La tripulación, conformada por Anne McClain y Nichole Ayers de la NASA, Takuya Onishi de la Agencia de Exploración Aeroespacial de Japón (JAXA) y Kirill Peskov de Roscosmos, amerizó a las 8:33 horas del Pacífico estadounidense (15:33 GMT) frente a la costa de California, después de desacoplarse de la estación el viernes.
La cápsula Dragon, desarrollada por SpaceX, descendió en el océano Pacífico guiada por paracaídas, completando así la expedición tras 148 días en el laboratorio orbital. El amerizaje marcó la primera vez en casi 50 años que astronautas de NASA retornaron al Pacífico, la última ocasión había sido durante la histórica misión Apollo-Soyuz en 1975, cuando astronautas estadounidenses y soviéticos se encontraron en órbita.
Además, es la primera vez que una misión del programa de vuelos tripulados comerciales aterriza frente a las costas de California, desde que SpaceX decidió cambiar el punto de retorno de Florida a la costa oeste del país para reducir el riesgo de caída de escombros sobre áreas pobladas.
Durante su estancia en la EEI, la tripulación de la Crew-10 realizó una serie de investigaciones científicas destinadas a facilitar futuras misiones fuera de la órbita baja terrestre, según informó la NASA. Parte de esos experimentos estuvo compuesto por estudios biomédicos y tecnológicos, así como investigaciones sensibles al tiempo, tantas de ellas transportadas de regreso a la Tierra para su análisis inmediato.

La misión Crew-10 tiene una relevancia especial debido a su papel en la rotación de tripulaciones en la EEI. Según la fuente, los astronautas llegaron a la estación espacial el pasado 16 de marzo tras despegar desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy en Florida, con el objetivo de reemplazar a los tripulantes asignados previamente al fallido vuelo de demostración de la cápsula Starliner de Boeing. El prolongado fallo en el sistema del nuevo vehículo mantuvo a los astronautas Butch Wilmore y Suni Williams en la estación espacial más de nueve meses, muy por encima de la semana originalmente planeada, lo que llevó a NASA a ordenar el regreso del Starliner vacío y cambiar a la pareja a un vuelo de SpaceX.
Durante su retorno, McClain hizo referencia a “tiempos tumultuosos en la Tierra”, subrayando el valor de la cooperación internacional en la exploración espacial y la capacidad de la humanidad de trabajar unida ante desafíos globales. La comandante señaló que, tras el regreso, esperaba descansar unos días en Houston, mientras que el resto de la tripulación expresó entusiasmo por disfrutar de comodidades como duchas calientes y hamburguesas frescas, tras varios meses en el ambiente cerrado de la EEI.

Este décimo viaje operativo de SpaceX a la EEI destaca por el uso continuado de la cápsula Dragon como medio seguro de traslado entre la órbita y la superficie terrestre. La elección del Pacífico como zona de amerizaje responde a criterios de seguridad, asegurando tanto la integridad de la tripulación como la protección de las muestras científicas, muchas de ellas sumamente sensibles al tiempo y requeridas para experimentos en la Tierra apenas horas después del aterrizaje.
A esta tripulación la ha reemplazado ya la misión Crew-11, que permanecerá durante los próximos meses a bordo del laboratorio orbital, continuando con el programa de investigación de la NASA y sus socios internacionales.

Democratic strategist says party lacks ‘moral authority’ on Texas redistricting fight

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to stop Texas lawmakers’ plan to redraw the state’s congressional map, but critics, including one prominent member of their own party, say they don’t exactly hold the moral high ground.
Democrat legislators have fled the state to avoid votes on redistricting, which is expected to add more Republican seats to Congress for the Lone Star State. They’re getting the rock-star treatment as they visit blue states, where several governors have vowed to gerrymander Republicans out of their own Congressional delegations in retaliation for the Texas effort.

However, Democratic strategist Julian Epstein told «Fox News Live» on Saturday that his party is not immune from criticism, as many blue states have already gerrymandered in a way that limits Republican congressional representation.
«No, I think they don’t have the moral authority, and there’s a lot of pearl-clutching going on,» he said.
Several blue states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Mexico, have no Republicans in their House delegations. And many feature oddly-drawn districts, seemingly crafted to limit GOP representation.
«The Democrats don’t have clean hands here. You look at states like Massachusetts, New Jersey[…] Illinois, California, and Democrats have effectively gerrymandered Republicans out of existence,» Epstein added.
NETWORKS POUNCE ON REPUBLICAN REDISTRICTING. THEY DIDN’T CARE WHEN DEMOCRATS DID IT

J.B. Pritzker, governor of Illinois, left, and State Representative Gene Wu, a Democrat from Texas, during a news conference at the Democratic Party of DuPage County office in Carol Stream, Illinois, US, on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025.
Epstein cautioned that the nationwide redistricting battle could create a «race to the bottom,» and that leaving Republicans and Democrats in states led by the opposite parties could lead to people feeling left out of the democratic process. Epstein cited New Jersey, in which Trump garnered 46% of the vote in 2024, but Republicans only have three out of the 12 congressional seats.
Meanwhile, Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, a Republican, told Fox News Digital on Saturday that Democrats are guilty of «total hypocrisy and faux outrage.»
«The dirty little secret is Democrats have no problem whatsoever with states redrawing their congressional maps to maximize partisan political advantage. They’re just furious that Republican states are starting to redraw their maps,» Harrison said.

«It’s because Democrat state after Democrat state, for a decade, has been gerrymandering the hell out of their congressional maps,» he said.
«Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, all of these states have zero. If you’re a Republican in those Democrat states, you don’t have any voice in Congress,» he added. «And [there are] many, many more that have given you just one seat, Oregon, I think Maine and Maryland.»
In California, a special election is likely to occur in November to counteract the Texas redistricting plan.

«We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what’s happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas,» California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Friday with some Texas state lawmakers.
«We’ll pick up five seats with the consent of the people. And that’s the difference between the approach we’re taking and the approach they’re taking,» Newsom added. «We’re doing it on a temporary basis. We’re doing it in a fully transparent way and we’re doing it by asking the people of the state of California for their consent and support.»
Harrison explained that Texas’s redistricting push has numerous reasons behind it, including the population growth in the Lone Star state since the last census.
