California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, angrily responded to President Donald Trump shutting down federal funds that went to abortions provided by Planned Parenthood.

The abortion provider said in a release that nine of its affiliates were informed Monday evening that the Trump administration would temporarily withhold their Title X funding over possible violations of Trump’s executive orders.

‘Woke up this morning to the Trump Administration freezing ALL of CA’s Title X funding.’

Newsom posted a statement on social media decrying the order.

“Woke up this morning to the Trump Administration freezing ALL of CA’s Title X funding,” he wrote. “It’s a Republican founded program — Richard Nixon of all people established it in 1970. This is just plain cruel.”

He said that the Title X funds paid for “basic reproductive care,” including birth control, cancer screenings, and STD testing.

Trump signed an executive order in January ending “the use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion.” Planned Parenthood was also suspected of violating Trump’s prohibitions against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, as well as providing abortion services to illegal aliens.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund CEO and President Alexis McGill excoriated the White House and claimed that action would lead to a deterioration in women’s health.

“President Trump and Elon Musk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, stripping health care access from people nationwide, and not giving a second thought to the devastation they will cause,” said McGill.

“We know what happens when health care providers cannot use Title X funding: People across the country suffer, cancers go undetected, access to birth control is severely reduced, and the nation’s STI crisis worsens,” she claimed.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from the Washington Post.

Two special elections held on Tuesday were decided by Florida voters in favor of Republicans, maintaining their tenuous control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The elections were in two Republican-leaning districts, and either loss would have meant a weakening of the narrow lead Republicans have in the House, which is currently only five seats.

‘If the president were on the ballot, I think he’d win by 30 again.’

Republicans Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis held off Josh Weil and Gay Valimont, respectively, in what turned out to be a far closer race than expected. Fine was declared the victor against Weil in the 6th Congressional District at about 7:40 p.m. ET, while Patronis was projected the winner over Valimont about 20 minutes later.

Fine responded to a message of victory from President Donald Trump on social media.

“Because of you, Mr. President. I won’t let you down,” wrote Fine.

Prior to the election results coming in, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, rejected the idea that the election was a referendum on the president.

“I think it’s going to be more of a candidate-specific reason,” DeSantis said. “If there’s any underperformance, I don’t think it’s a referendum on the president. If the president were on the ballot, I think he’d win by 30 again.”

While Democrats lost an opportunity to make up the gap with Republicans in the House, they saw a silver lining in the fact that they were able to significantly cut into the margin in the 6th District.

Also on Tuesday, voters in Wisconsin headed to the ballot box to vote for a seat on the state supreme court. The election will likely determine if the state’s districts will be realigned, and many believe President Donald Trump will be impeached if Democrats regain control of the House because of the result.

Isn’t it ironic that the Democratic Party, which is largely built on a platform of “anti-racism,” has so many racists in it?

Take Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), for example.

On a recent episode of “The Breakfast Club” with Charlamagne tha God, Crockett insinuated that Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) made a mistake when he married his white wife, Erika Donalds.

Jason Whitlock and “Fearless” contributor Shemeka Michelle dive into the scandal.

“If we continue to put people into office — and that even means some of our skin folk who definitely are not our kinfolk, such as Byron Donalds — who are going to continue to say that, like, I mean the fact that you sitting around talking about life was better under Jim Crow,” Crockett began.

“Is this because you don’t understand history or literally it’s because you married a white woman and so you think that that whitewashed you?” she continued.

“You couldn’t even be married to a white woman under Jim Crow,” Charlamagne added.

“Correct! … So I’m like bruh, what is it you talking about? Like what are you saying? Like he just out here, you know, I feel like they give him his talking points and he’s like, ‘Yes, master, I got it,”’ Crockett retorted.

“This is a leftist who’s expressing some racial animus, which seems to go against what leftists say they stand for,” says Whitlock.

However, her jab at interracial relationships is doubly hypocritical. Crockett was a loud Kamala Harris supporter, but Harris’ white Jewish husband was never a sore point.

“Ketanji Brown Jackson, I believe she’s married to a white Jewish man. Haven’t heard Jasmine Crockett talk about that,” adds Whitlock.

“Is Jasmine Crockett holding Byron Donalds to a standard that she doesn’t hold leftist politicians to?” he asks.

“Absolutely, and it shows that she’s so illogical and just irrational. … This is what they do; they just spew trash talking points that make absolutely no sense because if this was the case, then as you just stated, she would have to hold Kamala and Ketanji Brown [and] Don Lemon … to the same standard, and she doesn’t,” says Shemeka.

Crockett’s attack on Donalds, she says, is “because Byron Donalds is not going along with the everyday okie-doke black talking points that they like to push on black people.”

She also condemns Crockett for claiming that Donalds lauded the Jim Crow era as better times.

“That whole Jim Crow is taken completely out of context. … If you listen to the entire thing, that’s not what he was saying,” says Shemeka.

One of Sara Gonzales’ dreams came true after sitting down with none other than RFK Jr. to ask him some important questions about his new job — and what he told her did not disappoint.

“I just saw, just earlier this morning, that you are totally restructuring HHS. What does that new structure look like?” Gonzales asked.

“What we found over there is we have a sprawling bureaucracy that has all kinds of redundancies in it and a lot of administrative costs and much less an emphasis on actual mission, which is gold standard science patient care,” RFK Jr. responded.

“During the Biden administration, the budget of HHS went up by 38% and the amount of employees increased by 17%, and all of the metrics of public health actually accelerated downward. We need to reverse that,” he continued.

“We have over a hundred communications departments, we have 40 IT departments, 40 HR departments, and on and on, and we are going to consolidate those. The agency is a $1.9 trillion agency, it’s completely impossible to govern, it’s impossible to inspire, it’s impossible to have a unified mission that everybody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘My job is to Make America Healthy Again,’” he added.

And according to RFK Jr., within the agency there are groups that are “at war with each other.”

“I found out that medical information that is collected by one side, they then sell it to the other groups in my agency instead of sharing it and saying, ‘How do we use this way to improve patient care? How do we use it in a way to make people healthy?’” he explained.

“We’re cutting 28 divisions into 15, we’re eliminating the redundancies, we’re streamlining the agencies. We’re going to go from 82,000 employees to 62,000,” he added.

“It really is shocking when you hear how much they have grown, how much the bloated bureaucracy grew just under Joe Biden,” Gonzales comments, adding, “Like, are you kidding me?”

At an America PAC town hall in Wisconsin this week, Elon Musk took the opportunity to reveal a serious truth bomb — which is that millions of noncitizens receive Social Security numbers.

Musk was joined on stage by fellow billionaire Antonio Gracias, who is the CEO and CIO of Valor Equity Partners.

“Once you’re in the country, and you’ve got asylum through one of these pathways, we’ve mapped the whole thing out; you can apply for a work document. You file a 765, it’s the work form. You get this form called the 766, that’s the authorization, and then the Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number,” Gracias told the audience.

“No interview, no ID,” Gracias added, before Musk chimed in.

“This is worth just reiterating,” Musk said. “People sometimes think that under the Biden administration that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn’t asleep at the switch. It was a massive large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible.”

“Ultimately, to change the entire voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and make it a permanent, deep-blue one-party state from which there would be no escape,” he added.

Some hecklers did manage to get into the town hall, and Musk then called them out accordingly.

“It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience,” Musk said to laughter. “Give my regards to George; say hi to George for me,” he added, before chanting “USA” along with the crowd.

Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” is impressed.

“He is the best form of communication that we have going on the right,” Savage says. “So good.”

As President Donald Trump grapples with more than a dozen injunctions, Republican lawmakers have targeted “rogue” activist judges with two new bills.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) introduced the No Rogue Rulings Act to restrict U.S. district judges’ ability to issue broad injunctions. The bill passed the House Rules Committee on Tuesday in a 9-4 vote along party lines.

‘700 District Court judges shouldn’t each have nationwide veto power over a President’s national security decisions.’

“The bill would allow a district court to issue a nationwide injunction in a case in which two separate states from two separate judicial circuits are parties — making clear the nationwide nature of the dispute. In such a case, the bill provides for the establishment of a panel of three randomly chosen judges to determine whether to issue a nationwide injunction. Such injunctions may be appealed directly to the Supreme Court,” the proposed bill reads.

Since Trump’s January inauguration, his administration has already been hit with 15 injunctions, stalling a wide range of initiatives such as the end of birthright citizenship, deportation flights, and the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

Issa told the New York Post that his proposed bill is “a constitutional solution to a national problem.”

“Time and again, solitary judges have usurped congressional intent and confronted President Trump, rather than dispassionately interpreted the law,” he stated.

New York Republican Reps. Claudia Tenney, Nick Langworthy, and Nick LaLota have co-sponsored the bill.

Tenney pointed out that 67% of all injunctions ever issued have been placed against Trump.

“I am supporting the No Rogue Rulings Act to stop radical judges from imposing nationwide injunctions on President Trump’s agenda, which 77 million Americans voted for,” she wrote in a post on X.

LaLota stated, “700 District Court judges shouldn’t each have nationwide veto power over a President’s national security decisions.”

Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) called the activist judges’ actions “unconstitutional lawfare.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Monday introduced a similar measure, the Judicial Relief Clarification Act, which aims to “limit federal court orders to parties directly before the court — ending the practice of universal injunctions and clarifying the constitutional role of the judicial branch.”

It would require parties to file a class-action lawsuit to receive nationwide injunctive relief.

Grassley stated, “For a number of years, but particularly in the last few months, we’ve increasingly seen sweeping orders from individual district judges that dictate national policy. Our Founders saw an important role for the judiciary, but the Constitution limits judges to exercising power over ‘cases’ or ‘controversies.’ Judges are not policymakers, and allowing them to assume this role is very dangerous.”

On Tuesday, two House Judiciary Committee subcommittees held a joint hearing examining judicial overreach. Former Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and Paul Larkin, a senior legal research fellow with the Heritage Foundation, joined the hearing as witnesses.

Larkin told lawmakers, “The practice of issuing nationwide injunctions outside the confines of a certified nationwide class action is mistaken as a matter of law and unwise as a matter of policy.”

“It is not the courts that are responsible for creating the laws; the courts are responsible for interpreting it as it applies, but they can only do so in the context of a case or controversy,” he added. “Only the Congress can create a law. Any time a court enters a judgment that is tantamount to being a law, the judge has gone too far.”

Gingrich called the judges’ injunctions against the Trump administration “potentially a judicial coup d’état.”

“The notion that unelected lawyers can micromanage the executive branch and override a commander in chief who received 77.3 million votes should trouble every American,” he stated.
