Despite Promise To Be Pro-Life ‘Ally,’ Trump Admin Won’t Regulate Abortion Drug Endangering Women

The FDA appears to be slow-walking its mifepristone review, frustrating Trump allies in both Congress and pro-life states.

ProPublica Faces Threat of Newsroom Strike

ProPublica, which describes itself as "an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force," but is in reality a left-wing investigative outlet bankrolled by left-wing foundations, left-wing donors, and anonymous benefactors, is facing a possible strike by workers who formed a union in 2023 but say management has been "unwilling to accept basic union protections" after more than two years of contract negotiations.

Conservative Law Firm Picks Up Dobbs Litigator To Fuel More Supreme Court Victories

Doctor refuses to acknowledge basic biological reality: ‘Can men get pregnant?’



During a Senate hearing titled Protecting Women: Exposing the Dangers of Chemical Abortion Drugs, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) questioned Dr. Nisha Verma — where he attempted to “establish a biological reality.”

Verma, a medical doctor, was incapable of doing so.

“I wasn’t sure I understood your answer to Senator Moody a moment ago. Do you think that men can get pregnant?” Hawley asked Verma.

“I hesitated there because I wasn’t sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was. I mean, I do take care of patients with different identities. I take care of many women. I take care of people with different identities. And so that’s where I paused, I think,” she answered.


“Well the goal is the truth. So can men get pregnant?” Hawley pressed further.

“Again the reason I paused there is I’m not really sure what the goal of the question —” she continued, before Hawley interjected, “The goal is just to establish a biological reality.”

The pair went back and forth, with the leftist doctor claiming he was just being “polarizing.”

“I’m not trying to be polarizing. I think it is extraordinary that we are here in a hearing about science and about women, and for the record, it’s women who get pregnant, not men. We are here about the safety of women, and the science that shows that this abortion drug causes adverse health events in 11% of cases,” Hawley responded.

“There’s a difference between biological men and biological women. I just don’t know how we can take you seriously and your claims to be a person of science if you won’t level with this on this basic issue. I thought we were past all of this,” he continued.

“I think it’s extraordinary that you would sit here and advance a political agenda that has been thoroughly discredited and rejected by the American people in this forum. And I’m glad we had this exchange because it is exceptionally clarifying,” he said, adding, “It is also in many ways quite depressing.”

While BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is grateful for Hawley’s common sense, she’s also horrified that a doctor is still refusing to acknowledge such basic biological reality.

“This woman is going into medical school, and she is teaching young people that ‘I am a person of science, and I represent all of the complex realities of my patients, and I don’t want to answer your very simple question,’” Gonzales comments.

“These are the people in charge of your health care. These are the people in charge of setting policies,” she says, adding, “These people are still delusional.”

Republicans Struggle To Chart A Path On Trump’s Wall Street Housing Pledge

Vance casts tiebreaking war powers vote after Republicans betray Trump



Vice President JD Vance cast the tiebreaking vote in the Senate Wednesday night after some Republicans bucked President Donald Trump on a key war powers resolution.

Vance voted to block a war powers resolution aimed at reining in Trump's authority to greenlight military operations in Venezuela. The vote was tied at 50-50 after Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Susan Collins of Maine defied their party to defy Trump, requiring Vance to break the tie.

'You know what? That's good enough for me.'

The resolution ultimately failed in the Senate after Trump and his administration, particularly Secretary of State Marco Rubio, lobbied lawmakers to change their votes.

The war powers resolution was originally advanced last week with the help of Murkowski, Paul, and Collins as well as Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana. Both Hawley and Young eventually flipped their votes, allowing Vance to block the resolution altogether.

Hawley explained his initial support for the war powers resolution, saying he was concerned and unclear about the extent of American intervention in Venezuela.

"For me, this has always been about ground troops," Hawley said in an interview with Fox.

"That's not something that I think I would want to do."

"What the secretary of state said to me very clearly is, 'We're not doing that,'" Hawley said. "'We don't have ground troops in Venezuela. This is not another Iraq. We're not going to occupy Venezuela.' And you know what? That's good enough for me."

Defectors like Murkowski emphasized their opposition to Nicolas Maduro and his regime but argued that "no meaningful end state has been articulated, and U.S. forces and assets remain fully postured in the region."

"Even when an action is justified and its outcome welcomed, the Constitution is clear that Congress is a co-equal branch of government with an essential role in decisions that place the United States on a path toward sustained military involvement," Murkowski said in a statement on X. "Excluding Congress from that process risks eroding public trust and blurring strategic objectives."
