1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

This is, effectively, the same stupid argument that Elon Musk made against advertisers for not advertising on X. It's also not how antitrust law works at all.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Defendants.
Case No. 3:23-cv-00019-RSB

PLAINTIFFS’ REPLY MEMORANDUM IN FURTHER SUPPORT OF
RETAINING JURISDICTION PENDING REMAND TO FDA

Defendants do not dispute that this Court has the authority to retain jurisdiction over this case pending the completion of FDA’s mifepristone review. See ECF Doc. 101 at 4–5 (citing cases). Nor do they dispute that it would be improper for FDA to disregard the statutory factors that should guide its mifepristone review in favor of political considerations. Instead, **Defendants disparage Plaintiffs’ concern about political interference with FDA’s review as “unfounded speculation.”** ECF Doc. 102 at 4. **Far from it — Plaintiffs have the receipts.**
Last week, in response to a FOIA request, Plaintiffs’ counsel received a production of FDA documents that included **a September 3, 2025 email from an “eop.gov” email address asking FDA and HHS for “a briefing on the status of the FDA [mifepristone] study design and proposed timelines.” Exhibit A. “EOP” stands for “Executive Office of the President” and “eop.gov” is the email address for the White House.** An HHS employee agreed the agencies would “do our best to accommodate.” Id. This document confirms that the threat of political interference with FDA’s review of the scientific evidence is very real. This Court should exercise its authority to retain...
