An article from The Hill titled: Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone.

An article from The Hill titled: Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone.

Mifepristone isn't dangerous.

It is safe, effective, & FDA-approved.

This bill is just another baseless attempt to restrict millions from accessing essential medication abortion, but we won't let up our fight. Abortion care is health care.

The purpose of this Order is to ensure the CFPB operates as Congress intendedβ€” fully funded and able to ensure that consumers have access to β€œfair, transparent, and competitive” markets for consumer financial products; not subject to ever-changing Director fiat.

NEWS: Judge rules Russ Vought's plan to defund and shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law.

We're honored to represent former Federal Reserve officials in support of this case.

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

β€œTop military officials warned the Pentagon unsuccessfully last year not to gut oversight offices that limit risk to civilian casualties and investigate responsibility for their deaths…”

But Hegseth thought that limiting risk to civilians is too woke? Or not manly-man enough?

Hoping the white power people have a back up to their champion, Jake Paul. He’s not really proving anything good about them.

Warnings of Iran Invasion Grow as US to Send Up to 5,000 Marines, Sailors to Middle East | Common Dreams ​"Bringing this war to an end," said one former US intelligence analyst, "requires recognizing it can still get much, much worse."

Anytime the mainstream media reports on the stakes of government incompetence rather than the horse race of which political party β€œwon” or β€œlost” on an issue, Trump and friends get upset. Especially when lives are lost, incompetence from the party in power should have a spotlight on it.
