Summary

Today’s Headlines: The Supreme Court unanimously rejected a case to ban the abortion medication mifepristone, citing the plaintiffs' lack of legal standing, without addressing whether Americans have a constitutional right to abortion medication. Justice Brett Kavanaugh stated the plaintiffs did not demonstrate any injury from the drug's availability, making the federal courts an inappropriate venue for their concerns. Consequently, mifepristone remains accessible within the first 10 weeks of gestation and can be dispensed by mail and various providers. Meanwhile, Justice Clarence Thomas faces scrutiny for undisclosed trips funded by billionaire Harlan Crow, despite amending his disclosure forms for other trips.Records reveal that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign redirected $4.6 million to his businesses, with the largest payment being $800,000 for Secret Service airfare to his aviation company. Trump also spoke at Capitol Hill, criticizing U.S. aid to Ukraine, proposing tariffs to replace income tax, and insulting Milwaukee, where the GOP convention is set to be held. In Congress, Republicans blocked a vote on a bill to federally protect access to IVF, only two Republicans, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, voted to advance the bill. Finally, Tesla shareholders voted to reinstate Elon Musk’s $56 million compensation package, despite a Delaware judge previously rescinding it due to improper granting by the company's board. This decision comes as Tesla's stock declined by 27% this year.
