EPA is launching a drinking water study that will test, for the first time, for traces of the abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol — advancing a major goal of anti-abortion activists who have spent years trying to use environmental regulations to curb access to the drugs
POLITICO Pro: Abortion opponents claim ‘tremendous victory’ as EPA tests water for abortion pills
The new study will test for trace amounts of chemicals, pesticides and drugs — including ones used to induce abortions — in drinking water in multiple cities.

The Florida facility’s staff referred to the enclosures as “calming areas.” Investigators said their use violated federal standards and did not align with “standards for humane treatment.”

I'm old enough to remember that time a Democratic senate, in the middle of a Democratic president's reelection campaign, ordered a bipartisan investigation of the president's brother's receipt of $200,000 from the Libyan government.

Junior let a Russian tycoon pay for his after wedding parties, spending in the 100s of 1000s. Totally improper.
Check out his defense
“It’s unfortunate that something so personal and happy can be recast as something political or sinister simply because of who someone is or where they come from. “

Man, the bar is on the floor. I think we could probably go ahead and say that driving law-abiding, hardworking longtime American residents to suicide by suddenly stripping them of legal status as part of an ethnic cleansing project is NOT good
Statement from Gov. Mike DeWine: "I think we have to ask ourselves: is this really good? Is it what we want done to people like this being picked up and facing deportation? Do we want that being done in our name?"
The cruelty is the point. Shame on this administration and shame on the people who voted for this.

The Supreme Court just allowed the Trump Administration to move forward with plans to restrict mail-in voting.
Fights remain. Democratic AGs will continue leading them.
But make a backup plan to vote now. And in November, remember who’s trying to take so much away from you.
