Appeals court partially freezes Texas judge’s order that would have suspended FDA approval of medication abortion pill

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:17 GMT

A federal appeals court late Wednesday night froze parts of a Texas judge’s order that would have suspended the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a medication abortion drug.But the court only partially granted the request by the Justice Department and the drug’s manufacturer to put US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling on hold, with the panel effectively making the drug harder to obtain.Last Friday, Kacsmaryk issued a ruling that would have halted the FDA’s 23-year-old approval of the drug, mifepristone. Under the appeals court’s new order, the approval will stay in effect and the drug will remain on the market while an expedited appeal plays out.Related ArticlesNational News | Editorial: Abortion pill ruling further erodes trust in federal courts National News | Gov.

Dianne Feinstein asks to be ‘temporarily’ replaced on Judiciary amid some party pressure to resign from the Senate

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:17 GMT

Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Wednesday night that she had asked to be “temporarily” replaced on the Senate Judiciary Committee while she is recovering from shingles, but the California Democrat remained committed to returning to the Senate amid some pressure from her party to step down.“I understand that my absence could delay the important work of the Judiciary Committee, so I’ve asked Leader Schumer to ask the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to temporarily serve until I’m able to resume my committee work,” the 89-year-old Feinstein said in a statement.Feinstein said she had expected to return to Washington “by the end of the March work period,” but that her return had been “delayed due to continued complications related to my diagnosis.” She planned to return, she said, “as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel.”The statement came after a rare instance of lawmakers urging a member of their own party to step down from Congress.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:17 GMT

Un tribunal federal de apelaciones bloqueó la noche del miércoles parte de un fallo emitido la semana pasada por un juez designado por el expresidente Donald Trump que pone en peligro el acceso a la píldora abortiva mifepristona, y la decisión dejó una incertidumbre considerable sobre el acceso al medicamento.La Corte de Apelaciones del Quinto Circuito accedió a la solicitud de emergencia del Departamento de Justicia para frenar la parte de la decisión emitida por el juez de distrito de EEUU Matthew Kacsmaryk, quien suspendió la aprobación original de la mifepristona por parte de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés), que data de 2000.Pero el panel de tres jueces dijo que parte de la decisión de Kacsmaryk, que suspende los cambios que la FDA hizo al uso aprobado del medicamento en 2016, podría entrar en vigencia. El panel también determinó que el hallazgo de la agencia en 2021 de que la mifepristona puede distribuirse por correo también se det...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:17 GMT

LONDON — Chancellor Jeremy Hunt insisted the U.K.’s economic outlook is “brighter than expected” despite official figures showing no growth in February.The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics estimate that the U.K. economy saw no month-on-month growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in February. The opposition Labour Party’s Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves said in a statement that the U.K. was now “lagging behind on the global stage with growth on the floor.”February’s flatline followed growth of 0.4 percent in January, and means the U.K. economy continues to avoid a recession, defined in the U.K. as two quarters of declining GDP in a row. In the three months to February, GDP grew by 0.1 percent.Hunt, the U.K.’s top finance minister who was brought in to revamp the British economy after a market rout under his predecessor, said: “The economic outlook is looking brighter than expected — GDP grew in the three months to...

Tampa Bay doesn’t deserve undefeated Rays, but Orlando does | Commentary

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:17 GMT

Running off at the typewriter …The Tampa Bay Rays are 12-0 after Wednesday night’s 9-7 win over the Boston Red Sox and one win shy of tying the record for the best start in Major League Baseball history — and still it doesn’t matter.The Rays are one of the best-run organizations in professional sports and do more with less than any team in any sport, yet they still have the fourth-worst attendance in all of baseball. Which is better than last year and the year before when they were third-worst in attendance even though they made the playoffs in both seasons. And in case you were wondering, the last time they made the World Series during a non-COVID season was 2008 when they had the fifth-worst attendance in the league.Translation: The Tampa Bay area simply doesn’t deserve such a quality team. Time to demolish the idea that baseball will ever work there.Raze the Rays!Move them to Orlando!Short stuff: Glad to see that the Florida Gators just restructured ...

Germany appeals for reducing tension over Taiwan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:17 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — Germany’s government appealed for efforts to reduce tension over Taiwan as the German foreign minister flew to China for official talks following Chinese military exercises near the self-ruled island democracy Beijing claims is part of its territory.Annalena Baerbock was due to arrive Thursday. Her ministry said she would discuss Taiwan, Ukraine, human rights and other issues with Chinese officials.China’s ruling Communist Party sent warships and fighter planes near Taiwan last weekend in retaliation for a meeting between U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the island’s president, Tsai Ing-wen.“Threatening military gestures” increase “the risk of unintentional military confrontations,” a spokeswoman for Baerbock’s ministry, Andrea Sasse, said in Berlin. “We therefore call on all partners in the region and are working also with our international partners to contribute to a de-escalation in the strait of Taiwan,” Sasse said Wednesday.Taiwan spl...
