A federal appeals court is allowing the Trump administration to move forward in its plan to stop providing Medicaid reimbursement to large abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, for now.
The 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals gave the order on Thursday, while appeals continue over the legality of the section of President Donald Trumps sweeping tax and spending cuts bill law passed by Congress that restricts Medicaid funding.
The appeals court said the Trump administration can halt the funding, overriding a lower court that blocked it from doing so.
The Trump administration argued, successfully, that the congressionally approved law should go into effect while appeals courts, including the Supreme Court, weigh it.

What they are really doing is invalidating themselves, and possibly every appeal court that takes up a case brought by the nazis.
The stupidity of the American people. The sociopath in the white house told you exactly what he was going to do, and it was put in writing. Project 2025.
