I don't get why they're so up in arms. We know what the Supremes are going to do when it gets to them in the next several days.

Maybe Trump doesn't win the Nobel Peace Prize because his definition of the word "peace" is very different than almost everyone else's.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

F.D.A. Approves a New Generic Abortion Pill

If FDA does change anything with mifepristone in the future, I sure wouldn't want to be the lawyer arguing to a judge that its actions aren't "arbitrary and capricious."

The anti abortion movement is 100% right to be furious about this.

Because even the Trump FDA is confirming what we've known for decades:

MIFEPRISTONE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. FULL STOP.

The REALLY curious thing is that AP is reporting this company filed its application FOUR years ago.

Which means the Biden FDA sat on it . . . and the Trump FDA approved it.

FDA approval of generics isn't the same as a new drug, but they still have to be shown that the drug is safe and effective.

"Generic drug companies must submit evidence that all the ingredients used in their products are safe, and FDA must review that evidence."

US FDA approves another generic version of abortion pill The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Evita Solution's generic version of the abortion drug, mifepristone, the regulator said.

In approving a drug, the FDA is giving its stamp of approval that it is safe and effective.

Yes, this FDA. Said that about mifepristone.

Everyone has same concerns about Eagles offense - predictable plays based on formation, WRs not schemed open, poor use of TEs who can't block, run plays lacking creativity of past.

A) Do reporters ask specific questions about these things?
B) Do coaches disagree since they aren't changing?

This is bonkers. The antiabortion movement has put a full court press on FDA to restrict mifepristone, and everyone is on edge that it will do so.

So what does FDA do? It approves a new generic mifepristone without changing anything about the restrictions.

Thank you RFK? ?!?!

Inconsistencies maybe, but meant to keep us off kilter by approving a new drug to make abortion more accessible and, by the laws of market dynamics, cheaper and easier to obtain?

That's some really stupid eleven dimensional chess if that's what's being played!

It’s also a separation of powers issue - it’s for Congress to put conditions on funds, not the President.

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

No doubt Judge K was torn between his antiabortion bona fides and not ruling against Trump, who he wants to appoint him to a higher court. So he punted to someone else.

Not out of the woods at all, but glad to be out of this guy’s grasp!!
