Reproductive health provider Planned Parenthood said on Monday the Trump administration would cut federal family planning funding as of Tuesday, affecting birth control, cancer screenings and other services for low-income people.Planned Parenthood said that nine of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as Title X, which has supported healthcare services for the poor since 1970. The Wall Street Journal reported last week the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) planned an immediate freeze of $27.5 million in family planning grants for groups including Planned Parenthood.Planned Parenthood says more than 300 health centers are in the Title X network and Title X-funded centers received more than 1.5 million visits in 2023. It did not say how much funding would be halted by the Trump administration.HHS said in a statement it was withholding Title X payments to 16 organizations while it evaluates possible violations of their grant terms, including possibly of federal civil rights law and an executive order issued by President Donald Trump entitled, Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders.HHS is conducting this evaluation to ensure these entities are in full compliance with Federal law and applicable grant terms, and to ensure responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, the statement said.Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, predicted that cancers would go undetected, access to birth control would be severely reduced, and sexually-transmitted infections would increase as a result.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, McGill Johnson said in a statement.Trump has named billionaire Musk, who helped the president get elected, to head up an initiative to target government agencies for spending cuts.Conservatives have long sought to defund Planned Parenthood because it also provides abortions. However, U.S. government funding for nearly all abortions has been banned since 1977.Daniel Trotta, Reuters

On Tuesday, investment banking company Jefferies downgraded its rankings on Delta, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Air Canada. That caused airline stocks to drop. American Airlines (NasdaqGS: AAL) finished the day down 2.4%, Delta (NYSE: DAL) dropped 2.7%, and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) fell 5.9%. Even United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL), which remains the only U.S. airline Jefferies still considers a buy, is down 1.2%.Jefferies analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu wrote that corporate and consumer sentiment [are expected] to remain soft on swelling macro uncertainty. Indeed, the global business think tank the Conference Board recently announced the latest reading for its U.S. Consumer Expectations Index, which measures consumer expectations for business, income, and job prospects. It reached its lowest level in 12 years to 65.2 points amid Americans concerns over inflation and Trumps tariffs. Thats well below the threshold of 80, which the organization says typically signals a recession ahead.In the Conference Boards report last week, senior economist Stephanie Guichard said consumers optimism about future income . . . [has] largely vanished, suggesting worries about the economy and labor market have started to spread into consumers assessments of their personal situations.One of the ways that Americans seem to be addressing these fears is by pulling back on travel expenses. Over the month of February, Bank of America reported a reduction of 7.2% in users credit and debit card spending.Airlines are not only seeing reductions in consumer travel. At a conference last month, Uniteds chief financial officer Mike Leskinen, said that government travel has fallen off here post-inauguration, in part due to mass government-worker layoffs by the Trump administration. With government air travel making up about 2% of Uniteds revenue, and travel from consultants and contractors making up another 2% to 3%, the airline has reportedly seen a sharp decline in revenue from these cuts.

Thisreallysounds like an April Fools Day joke. But every trade in Hollywood is reporting that its legit.As first reported in The Playlist, the script that Quentin Tarantino almost turned into his tenth (and, if he sticks to his long-standing pledge to retire after ten films, final) directorial effort calledThe Movie Critichas fallen into the hands of David Fincher. Now Fincher is planning to direct Tarantinos script.According to Deadline, it was actually Brad Pittwhogot Tarantinos blessing to show the script to his Se7en,Fight Club, andCurious Case of Benjamin Buttondirector. PittsOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodcharacter, stuntman Cliff Booth, is reportedly a key character in the movie, andPitthad previously agreed to return for the film when Tarantino was originally going to direct it. (The project was called off in the spring of last year.)Once Upon a Time in HollywoodSonyloading...Bysome accounts, this all started when Tarantino wrote a script calledThe Movie Critic about a film writer at a seedy Los Angeles magazine in the 1970s, with Pitt set to play Cliff Booth again in a supporting role. That would have made it a sort of sequel to Tarantinos 2019 movieOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, where Pitt played Booth opposite Leonardo DiCaprio as fading TV star Rick Dalton.there were reports that after Pitt agreed to return for The Movie Critic, Tarantinos concepts morphed into something more akin to[Tarantinos] novelization ofOnce Upon, which had a lot more of Booths story than was seen in the movie.The Playlist claims the version that Fincher is nowin line todirect sounds very much like a Cliff Booth film though most plot details are unknown. Whether the movie critic angle has been dropped completely is not clear. (Deadline claims the titlelikely corresponded to the fact that Booths passion for movie watching was explored in detail, so who knows whether the critic aspectwasever actually a big part of it.)Either way,multiple reports say that Fincher wantsto direct Pitt as Booth in this Tarantino script, and that Netflix is funding the project andwould distribute it. The Playlist even claims that the movie could wind up being shot in California this summer.
