House Judiciary Committee subpoenas FBI Director and Attorney General for censorship investigation
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed FBI Director Christopher Ray and Attorney General Merrick Garland as part of the committee's ongoing censorship investigation. The committee is seeking communication between federal agencies and private companies and has expressed dissatisfaction with their compliance so far.
Appeals court ruling could end mail order access to abortion drug
A recent appeals court ruling could potentially end mail order access to the abortion drug Miffy Prestone in the US. The ruling overturns a part of a lower court decision, but leaves restrictions in place that limit the drug's use and require it to be administered in the presence of a doctor. However, the restrictions will not take effect immediately as the Supreme Court previously intervened to keep the drug available during the legal battle.
