THE HILL SENATE Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 03/11/26 5:29 PM ET

THE HILL Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups. The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug's widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023. But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed. Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug's maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.

While we’re worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CA…
Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone

The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

It is not enough to say, in oversight hearings, “you are committing crimes and there will be consequences.” I want these people to see draft indictments written up, the construction of the courtroom where they’ll be tried, their proposed prison sentences.

Voters want to see this too.

Yes, yes, the Trump administration, quite famous for being good stewards with the American people's tax money.

It's a moratorium on enrolling new COMPANIES that sell DME.

About a quarter of all trans people in this country have moved states in possibly the largest internal migration of a particular minority group since the great migration. This is a full blown crisis.

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention

A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

The disclosure was in the first sentence:

`The birthday-party invitation said “siblings welcome,” which means you can bring your 11-month-old son while your husband is out of town. `

Using the second person signals it's NOT a case study.

That so many folks can't pick up on that cue saddens me.

Wait, people thought this was a specific case study? Is that how poorly Americans read now?

Fucking love this guy.

This really is indistinguishable from self-satire from Thomas Chatterton Williams: The left should stop criticizing slavery because its causing the right to excuse slavery.

Lot of people saying “can’t believe QAnon was right” instead of “can’t believe the feminists were right about rape culture”, which feels suspicious tbqh.

The FBI not knowing where Wisconsin is, apparently?

From the Epstein documents: The FBI having to Google where Wisconsin is???

"Could this week be more filled with shit?!" is all my wife could say on hearing the news of Catherine O'Hara's death.

“Dark-mode screenshot of a message labeled ‘From Opinion’ with a timestamp of 9:57 PM. The text reads: ‘The millennial optimism of “Harry Potter” doesn’t resonate in today’s climate. Its moral simplicity was too good to be true.’”

Are you kidding me with this shit NYT?

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

Enjoy your dinner!

More protests should have singing. Something so unifying and inspiring about it.

Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores? Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

Apple and Google have previously removed apps providing nudify services from their app stores.

So why havent they taken action against X and Grok?

The house I live in A plot of earth, a street The grocer and the butcher And the people that I meet The children in the playground The faces that I see All races and religions That's America to me A place I work in A worker by my side A little town or city Where my people lived and died The howdy and the handshake The air of feeling free And the right to speak my mind out That's America to me

The fact that every other professor at OU didn't stage a strike - and yes - risk their careers - over this - is goddamn disappointing.

This is the future that awaits them if they don't resist it.
