If they are going to reverse approval of mifepristone because it is so "unsafe" then the FDA should also reverse its approval of Viagra. I hear it can cause serious heart issues. Even death.
This bill is a back alley federal abortion ban. What happened to “states decide?”
Medication abortions accounted for about 63 % of U.S. abortions.
This bill has 0 exceptions for incest or rape.
In US, approx 321,500 people (age 12+) are victims of rape or sexual assault.
“Tough shit” says he.
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.
Ford’s airport plan also reflects his growing obsession with Toronto’s waterfront and a broader pattern of stepping into the city’s territory and taking control of key assets and revenue streams. for @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/12/n...
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
How does this lying demented imbecile come up with these bigly lies and fantasies, is beyond me.
His cult gobbling it all as if it is coolaid, now that's the fucking problem.

Chaos, instability, doubt, lies, deception, mayhem, corruption, theft of natural resources and taxpayers hard earned cash, oppression and destruction, you would think that is how the Islamic Republic has been governing Iran for all these years, but so has the USA!
🚨 BREAKING: Tesla's "Unsupervised Robotaxis" (no safety drivers) were cut from 8 to 4.
Only 1 is in service while the others aren't operating.
"Supervised Robotaxis", with safety drivers had 14 crashes & are 4x less safe than humans.
Why launch the Cybercab if FSD isn't working properly?

EFF To Court: Don’t Make Embedding Illegal

If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.
I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
They never even considered the fact the Strait of Hormuz would close.

“'The administration thoughtlessly terminated people with crisis experience, and now they’re left without depth in the bench in the middle of a wide scale and broadening crisis,' said a former official with more than a decade experience in evacuation operations..."

That is a unanimous, adamant YES. The sooner the better.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
And it will get worse this summer vacation season. Last summer people already had vacations planned and payed for that they couldn't get their money back. So they just went with it. That will not be the case this season.
I used to go to the US for work and pleasure, never again. There is nothing there that I want or need and I certainly don't want some ICE gestapo disappearing me for a frickin bounty.
Canada in February, you just might concider dying in an ICE camp as long as it's one of the warm states.
If we didn't come in the winter months, we ain't coming. 🇨🇦💪
It's a big world, and you only live once.
There's not much in the USA that's worth dying in an ICE camp over.
Canadians have increasingly bypassed U.S. travel for more than a year, and the boycott shows no sign of slowing down.
Go to the bank, pay them a service fee for making you do your own transactions, get your money, spend it in a store where they make you do the job of the cashier at the self-checkout.
I wish being a fan wasn't so much work. You're always told to do free PR. You must wishlist, write reviews, if you pay this way they get more money, or that way it's less. Make sure to listen to each song straight through, all the way. Like and subscribe. Leave a comment.
