A Massachusetts district judge extended a temporary restraining order Friday blocking the enforcement of a new provision that would cut Medicaid funding to certain Planned Parenthood health centers. Obama-appointed federal Judge Indira Talwani ruled that a provision of the Reconciliation Act, which would prevent Medicaid reimbursements to organizations providing abortions and meeting certain financial criteria, including receiving over $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023, could not be enforced.

Planned Parenthood has stated that this measure could lead to the closure of nearly 200 clinics nationwide. An Obama-appointed judge, Judge Indira Talwani, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts...

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said in a new interview that she is most inspired when she sees people obstructing ICE. "Some of the most inspiring things have been when people encircle courtrooms and refuse to allow ICE agents in," Jayapal said during a conversation with Joy Reid on Friday's episode of "The Joy Reid Show."

Count in Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington, an Indian immigrant whose office on Capitol Hill, staffers have said, is a Dickensian sweat shop. She thinks ICE agents are “terrorists,” yet another label that might just get one of them...

Speaking with The Irish Times about the state of Hollywood and the downfall of cinema, Bateman discussed a book she had written about beauty standards and how it struck a chord with people who had been chasing plastic surgery. “People are saying perhaps that book was a tipping point – just like this election was a tipping point for the woke mob mentality momentum.

Fortunately we're gonna have the right people in place to look into this ... Her verbal abuse against citizens who pay her salary -while using official government platforms- should be enough to get her impeached ... That’s why Obama dumped thousands of Somalias in her...
