Summary

Today’s Headlines: The DOJ requested a protective order after Trump's provocative social media post. Judge Tanya Chutkan set a deadline for response which Trump's team sought to extend. Despite their efforts, Chutkan adhered to the original deadline. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's ownership of a lavish RV came to light. The vehicle, costing $267,000, was partially financed by Anthony Welters, raising questions about transparency. Florida's education scene saw a reversal after Governor Ron DeSantis tried to remove AP Psychology from the curriculum. Now, students can take the course in full. DeSantis is also pushing for a "classical learning test" alternative to the SAT and ACT. The FDA approved Zuranolone, a rapid-acting pill for postpartum depression, though its pricing is pending DEA review. Additionally, the CDC recommends an RSV shot for infants under 8 months to reduce hospitalizations.
