A US appeals court agreed on Tuesday to allow the Trump administration to strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood health centers in 22 states and Washington DC.

The order from the three-judge panel of the Boston-based first US circuit court of appeals puts on hold an injunction issued by US district judge Indira Talwani. Talwani’s injunction had blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a provision of its massive tax-and-spending bill that blocks Planned Parenthood from receiving reimbursements from Medicaid, the US government’s health insurance program for low-income people, in the 22 states.

The panel’s decision is only the latest legal volley in the months-long war over the Trump administration’s provision. The appeals court previously lifted another order by Talwani in a separate case, brought by Planned Parenthood, that had also blocked the measure’s enforcement.

I think this sets up a nice sequel with some interesting ideas about the living undead and the horrific work conditions of the poor and social stratification of the Victorian era.

Ooh, maybe we make Queen Victoria like the Alien Queen!

INT: Queen Victoria's Throneroom.

Tiny Tim faces down the QUEEN. In his good arm clutches a flamethrower blunder-bust packed with nails and shot. Hes limping from fighting his way through the palace. He's after the jewels. Destroying the hope diamond destroys the QUEEN.

The QUEEN is no done yet. It has TT's only living relation left... his oldest sister wrapped in a thick web beside her. TTs sister, the one that cared for him the most before the "Cure" has pressed on him by that Mad Rich Man and his father.

The QUEENs breath hisses

TT: Get away from her you BITCH!

Anybody got a fresh brita filter handy?
