The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
FDA Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study
The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

Male WH reporters need to stand up for their colleagues. Why are women the only ones asking the tough questions?
It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Former CDC head Richard Besser is telling @maddow.bsky.social that the public can no longer trust the CDC for reliable and accurate health information. I’ve been reporting on health care for more than 30 years and did not think I’d ever hear this. Sad and shameful.

More attack on vaccine from RFK Jr.
CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.
“I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

@lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social is giving yet another master class in the hypocrisy of the @senategop.govpeeps.us since 49 of them reversed their vote on releasing the #Epsteinfiles from September. And Mike Johnson has been thoroughly called out as the liar and weasel he is.

Both House and Senate approved the Epstein bill today in just hours. I don’t ever want to hear again how things can’t get done in Congress. When the motivation is there, things can move as quickly as they want. Any delays are created by people not processes.

There are tens of thousands of Epstein pages we already know about. Dems could release a handful of pages every day between now and the midterms just to continually keep this in the news cycle. Just sayin’

The wording of this is highly unusual, and suggests that Justice Jackson is expecting the First Circuit to rule on a stay pending appeal (a longer pause of the district court's order) in the next few days.
I'll have more to say about this in "One First" as soon as I can write it up.
