Abortion Pill Rulings

Drug Company Leaders Condemn Ruling Invalidating F.D.A.’s Approval of Abortion Pill

More than 400 executives said that the decision ignored both scientific and legal precedent and that, if the ruling stood, it would create uncertainty for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

The pharmaceutical industry plunged into a legal showdown over the abortion pill mifepristone on Monday, issuing a scorching condemnation of a ruling by a federal judge that invalidated the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug and calling for the decision to be reversed.

Senate confirms slate of State Department nominees as Tuberville’s military hold remains

By Morgan Rimmer, Kristin Wilson and Clare Foran, CNN

Updated 7:08 PM EDT, Fri July 28, 2023

(CNN) - The Senate confirmed a slate of high-profile State Department nominees late Thursday night, including ambassadors to Italy, Jordan, Georgia, the United Arab Emirates, Niger, Rwanda and Ethiopia.

The confirmations came after Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told CNN earlier in the evening that he was close to a deal with the State Department to release holds on nominees in exchange for records on the origins of COVID.

There was no resolution, however, to an ongoing impasse over military nominations as Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama maintains holds in protest over a Pentagon abortion policy.

Trump ally Steve Bannon two years ago heavily promoted his own brand of cryptocurrency that he said would be a boon for MAGA supporters everywhere.

However, ABC News reports that the "FJB" ("F*ck Joe Biden") cryptocurrency hyped by Bannon back in 2021 has been plunged into "chaos" and has lost 95 percent of its peak value.

What's more, some investors in the cryptocurrency say that Bannon and partner Boris Epshteyn have broken their promises to donate money made from the coin to the Wounded Warriors Project and other nonprofit organizations.

Joe Biden

Where did it all go right for Biden? Facts blunt Republican attack lines

Crime is down, inflation is falling and the border is quiet. Little wonder the House speaker is floating impeachment of the president for … something

It was the word that the far right of the Republican party most wanted to hear. Kevin McCarthy, speaker of the House of Representatives, said this week his colleagues’ investigations of Joe Biden are rising to the level of an “impeachment” inquiry.

Republicans in Congress admit that they do not yet have any direct evidence of wrongdoing by the US president. But, critics say, there is a simple explanation why they would float the ultimate sanction: they need to put Biden’s character on trial because their case against his policies is falling apart.

Heading into next year’s presidential election, Republicans have been readying a three-pronged attack: crime...
