Hawley unveils bill to ban abortion pill, strip FDA approval Though the Trump administration is conducting a safety review of mifepristone, the Republican senator from Missouri called on Congress to act immediately and ban the

In the latest chapter of his anti-abortion pill crusade, Josh Hawley has introduced a bill that would withdraw FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Technically speaking I’m pretty sure Congress does not have this power, but we know he’s not the type to care:

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

Missouri Supreme Court considers mid-decade congressional redistricting If the court strikes the new map, congressional redistricting would revert to the prior map, which keeps the bulk of Kansas City within one district.

. @sarahkkellogg.bsky.social has the rundown on the most important MO redistricting case of the year.

It asks a simple question: Can Missouri lawmakers redraw maps in the middle of the decade.

If the answer is no, @cleaver.house.gov wins and Donald Trump's redistricting push fails.

A white graphic with black text in all caps that reads: "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. NOT TRUMP. NOT ICE." White text highlighted by red text boxes below three red stars in the style of the D.C. flag reads: "KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER." A white graphic with the Washington, D.C. flag positioned diagonally at the top. Below black and red text reads: "Stop D.C. warrantless immigration arrests. ICE must be held accountable. Join us as we demand that ICE stop ignoring court orders and tearing families apart. March 11, 2026 @ 10am. Location: 1 Columbus Circle Northeast, Washington, D.C. 20002." 

At the bottom of the graphic are the logos for the ACLU-D.C., National Immigration Project, We Are Casa, Washington Lawyers' Committee, and AMICA Center for Immigrant Rights."

[UPDATED LOCATION] Join us tomorrow at 10am as we hold ICE accountable for its illegal civil immigration arrests in D.C. Get all details below, including the updated location.

Court orders are binding, not suggestions. Our families shouldn't have to live in fear while an agency ignores the law.

NEW: In the first appeals court hearing over one of the subpoenas it sent to gender-affirming care providers, Trump's DOJ advanced legal arguments that cast an ominous shadow over the future of access to medications the administration doesn't approve of, including abortion pills.
