Today’s Headlines: The Supreme Court is considering a case on the abortion medication mifepristone, which is used in a majority of US abortions. The case questions whether the FDA overstepped its authority by making the drug easier to access. Mifepristone is safe and has been FDA approved since 2000. In separate legal news, Donald Trump got a reduced bond amount in a civil fraud case and a court date for his criminal campaign finance trial. This will be his first criminal trial. Boeing's CEO and several other top executives are resigning after a series of safety issues with the 737 Max airplane. Finally, the UN passed a resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza, but the US abstained and proposed a different ceasefire tied to hostage release. The Israeli Prime Minister cancelled his US visit in response.
