📰 Texas man sues California doctor in unprecedented abortion pill case over unborn child’s alleged ‘murder’
A Texas man named Jerry Rodriguez has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against a California abortion provider, Dr. Remy Coeytaux, alleging that the physician facilitated illegal self-managed abortions by mailing abortion pills across state lines. The lawsuit accuses Coeytaux of aiding in ending two pregnancies in Texas in 2024 by sending abortion-inducing drugs. Rodriguez claims his girlfriend’s estranged husband purchased the pills and pressured her to take them, leading to the termination of the pregnancies. The legal foundation of the lawsuit is based on the long-dormant Comstock Act, a federal anti-obscenity law from 1873, and Texas Penal Code violations. Rodriguez is seeking damages, class certification, and an injunction against Coeytaux. The case is viewed as a test of blue state abortion shield laws and may provide a new legal strategy for anti-abortion plaintiffs to target abortion providers across state borders.
📰 DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified Trump-Russia docs: Here’s what they say
The article discusses how the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents revealing that the Obama administration allegedly “manufactured” intelligence to support the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. The declassified records show that intelligence assessments leading up to the 2016 election indicated that Russia was not actively trying to influence the election through cyber means. Despite attempts by Russian-affiliated actors to compromise voter registration databases, it was deemed unlikely that these efforts impacted the election results. The article also highlights how the Obama administration officials, including John Brennan and James Clapper, pushed for the publication of reports suggesting Russian interference in the election, despite warnings from intelligence officers that there was no direct evidence of Putin wanting to help elect Trump. The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence report from 2020, based on an investigation by Devin Nunes, raised concerns about the politicization and potential bias in the Intelligence Community Assessment of 2017, which claimed Putin preferred Trump over Clinton. The report also includes details about Russian intelligence allegedly possessing information on Hillary Clinton’s health issues and a plan approved by Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to Trump to distract from her email server scandal.
📰 Federal judge tosses Trump DOJ lawsuit against sanctuary policies in Chicago
The article discusses a federal judge in Chicago dismissing a case challenging the legality of the city’s sanctuary policies, which limit cooperation between local officials and federal immigration authorities. The Trump administration had accused Illinois and Chicago of interfering with its immigration crackdown efforts. The judge ruled that the city’s ordinances are lawful protections not subject to federal enforcement mandates. The Justice Department argued that sanctuary policies violate the U.S. Constitution’s “Supremacy Clause,” but the judge rejected this, stating that states have significant powers not explicitly granted to the federal government. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson welcomed the decision, emphasizing that the city is safer when police focus on the needs of its residents.

📰 Pro-life group ‘elated’ after Planned Parenthood shutters Houston facilities: ‘Tremendous victory’
A pro-life group, 40 Days for Life, celebrated a victory as Planned Parenthood announced the closure of two facilities in Houston, Texas, including the largest abortion clinic in the Western Hemisphere. The closures were attributed to rising costs, staffing shortages, and low reimbursement rates. Republican lawmakers have been targeting Planned Parenthood, leading to closures in various states, including New York. The Trump administration sought funding cuts to Planned Parenthood, with a provision in a GOP-backed bill aiming to end Medicaid payments to certain abortion providers. A federal judge partially blocked a law banning adults from helping minors get out-of-state abortions, amid the ongoing efforts to restrict abortion access following the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
The CEO of 40 Days for Life expressed personal and professional elation at the closures, highlighting the impact of grassroots efforts in the pro-life movement. He emphasized the vulnerability of Planned Parenthood and the significance of the closures in Houston and New York. The closures were seen as a major victory for the pro-life movement in a post-Roe America. Despite Planned Parenthood’s claims of providing various services, the closures of their most prosperous locations were linked to the absence of abortion services or the availability of alternatives.
