GILLIBRAND STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT DECISION UPHOLDING FDA APPROVAL OF MIFEPRISTONE

“I am relieved that the Supreme Court has halted the previous misguided and dangerous ruling that reversed FDA approval of mifepristone. Doctors have prescribed mifepristone as a safe and effective treatment for more than 20 years, and I am grateful it will continue to be available to those who need it. But while this decision is a welcome respite from the nationwide assault on women’s bodily autonomy, the fight does not end here. Opponents of women’s reproductive freedom and basic civil liberties will continue to erode women’s right to privacy in the courts, statehouses and Congress. We must keep fighting until every American — women, men, and children — can exercise their right to personal privacy, civil liberty, and equal justice under the law. I will continue to work in Congress to codify these rights into law.”

‘Swarming in lies’: Scholar panics that latest Trump comments show him ‘dangerously unfit’



Donald Trump's recent sit-down with Time Magazine for a wide-ranging interview under the title "If He Wins" provides clues that he has become increasingly "unfit" to hold office again, according to a professor from Arizona State University.

In his Substack column, author and scholar Steven Beschloss claimed every voter should be alarmed by the former president's answers, including suggestions that he is not averse to violence similar to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot if he fails to win re-election in 2024.

Posing the question over whether Trump is "unfit" to serve in the Oval Office again, he added the former president is now "dangerously unfit."

Writing that Trump told Time reporter Eric Cortellessa of his desire to "pardon January 6 insurrectionists, deploy the National Guard in American cities at will, give police immunity from prosecution, close the White House office responsible for pandemic preparedness, and permit red states to monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute abortion ban violators," Beschloss claimed Trump's replies should raise red flags about his mental state.

Noting a close reading of the Time transcript reveals, "a deeply untrustworthy man untethered from reality, swarming in lies, absorbed by grievance, unable to grapple with policy nuance and dependent on empty slogans to motivate himself," he added, "None of this is surprising, but when you read through the hours of interview material, you can see just how shallow his thinking is, how unreliable are his pronouncements and equivocations, how utterly ill-equipped he is to confront the complexities of our modern world — and, really, how crazy it is that serious people are forced to take this man seriously."

According to Beschloss, Trump seems to believe "his rejection of factual reality is a badge of honor."

With that in mind, he warned, "It will take more than divine intervention to ensure a man like this never sees the inside of the Oval Office again. It will take all of us — and tens of millions of others who decide that they will vote and do everything they can to ensure the survival of American democracy, the promise of America, basic human decency and the primacy of factual reality."
