The Trump admin rejected the UN Declaration on Preparing for Future Pandemics because it mentioned equity, solidarity & universal access to sexual & reproductive health care services. They're so obsessed with banning words & controlling women that they’ll risk millions of lives to do so.

Today, the Trump administration finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards for passenger cars and trucks. This move effectively kills the nation's CAFE standards, a program that has saved drivers $321 billion in fuel costs since 2010. Read UCS Statement: act.ucs.org/46NApCk

“The federal government’s decision to gut fuel economy standards is a handout to automakers and oil companies that will strap American consumers already struggling with an affordability crisis...Weakening these standards means drivers will spend more on fuel while having fewer options to choose efficient vehicles."

The Fifth Circuit will hear a case about the abortion drug mifepristone on Wednesday. The big thing to know is access won't change after the judges rule. But a bogus FDA safety "review" could upend access after the midterms. We'll be covering on @autonomynews.co www.autonomynews.co/mifepristone...

Federal news

Tomorrow, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments in a Louisiana lawsuit that seeks to make it harder to get the abortion drug mifepristone. The state sued the Food and Drug Administration in October arguing that the agency acted unlawfully when it allowed mifepristone to be dispensed by mail or at certified pharmacies during the Biden administration. Part of Louisiana’s argument is that the Comstock Act, a dormant 19th-century anti-obscenity law, prohibits shipping mifepristone. If the appeals court agrees to ban mailing, it would end telemedicine prescriptions nationwide, even in states that protect abortion access—though pills would remain available via activist groups that distribute them outside the medical system. Thanks to a May order from the Supreme Court, there will be no changes to access until the appeals process is complete. However, the FDA is conducting a sham “review” that it could cite as a reason to restrict access to mifepristone. If that happens, manufacturers will very likely sue the agency, kicking off separate litigation.

ICE’s flight manual says children above 13 years old can be shackled if they are deemed a security risk. A father being moved with his two teenaged sons — who might “conspire” with one another against 10+ flight guards — would be enough for them to be considered security risks.

A shackled man stands at the top of air stairs and looks down at two people who appear to be teenage boys walking up the stairs, also shackled.
