The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The claim states that U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has struck down the provision in Trump's so-called 'Big Ugly Bill' that banned Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. Multiple sources confirm that Judge Talwani granted a temporary block on the enforcement of a provision in a Trump administration law aimed at defunding Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding. This action is described as a temporary injunction or block rather than a permanent ruling striking down the provision outright.

The sources indicate that this is a recent development and that the judge's order halts the implementation of the funding cuts while legal proceedings continue. The term 'struck down' can imply a permanent invalidation, but in this context, it appears to be a temporary judicial block or injunction.

Therefore, the claim is mostly true in that Judge Talwani has indeed halted the enforcement of the Medicaid funding ban for Planned Parenthood under this law, but it is more accurate to say she temporarily blocked it rather than permanently struck it down at this stage.
