Summary

Today’s Headlines: A new ProPublica report reveals that at least two women in Georgia, including 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman, died because doctors were too afraid to perform necessary abortion procedures under the state’s restrictive ban. Thurman’s death followed a 20-hour delay in treating her post-abortion complications. In other news, Donald Trump has launched a cryptocurrency exchange called World Liberty Financial, involving his sons and even 18-year-old Barron. Meanwhile, TikTok is taking the U.S. government to court over its sale-or-ban law, claiming it violates free speech. A pipeline fire in Houston forced evacuations, and a new study has found that over 3,000 harmful chemicals from food packaging have been detected in human blood, hair, and breast milk.
