As NY case advances, Trump faces setbacks in other probes

As NY case advances, Trump faces setbacks in other probes By Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump faces the most urgent legal challenge of his life this week in New York, where he’s set to be arraigned Tuesday on charges arising from hush money payments during his 2016 campaign.But as much as the attention will be on the courthouse in lower Manhattan, investigations from Atlanta to Washington will press forward, underscoring the broad range of peril he confronts as he seeks to reclaim the presidency.The vulnerability Trump faces in Washington alone has become clear over the past month, as judges in a succession of sealed rulings have turned aside the Trump team’s efforts to block grand jury testimony from witnesses — including from his own lawyer and his former vice president — who were or still are close to him and who could conceivably offer direct insight into key events.The rulings directing advisers and aides to testify don’t suggest that the Justice Department is close to bringing...

It’s official: California Sierra snowpack ties all-time record

Published Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:08:47 GMT

It’s official: California Sierra snowpack ties all-time record California water officials are gathering at Echo Summit south of Lake Tahoe this morning for a high-profile snowpack reading, which is expected to confirm what an army of snow-sensors scattered across the Sierra already show; the statewide snowpack is tied with 1952 as the biggest haul since official records began in 1950.On Monday, the statewide snowpack reached an astonishing 237% of normal compared to historical data for this date. The record-tying snowpack is a stunning turnaround from a year ago, when the official April snowpack measure was one of the lowest readings ever, at just 35% of normal.Technically Monday’s snowpack reading came two days after April 1 — the typical date against which snowpack readings are compared. On April 1, the statewide snowpack measure was at 233% of normal, which was a few percentage points shy of the 1952 record.Regardless of how you measure it though, the massive bounty is great news for the drought, which has ended in most of the Golden State. ...

Morning after pill company increases access, supply By Parija Kavilanz | CNNOne maker said it is responding to high demand for the morning-after pill, after the US Supreme Court last year ended a constitutional right to abortion, by speeding up availability of the emergency contraceptive in retail stores and introducing a new two-count pack.Julie launched as a one-step tablet of emergency contraceptive containing Levonorgestrel, the key ingredient in the popular Plan B emergency contraceptive that was approved by FDA in late 1990s without a prescription, at 4,500 Walmart stores nationwide last September.The startup experienced a surge in demand for its $42 tablet at launch amid an overall spike in purchases of emergency contraceptive following the US Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in on June 24, 2022.The FDA-approved morning-after pill can reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex or failure of another contraceptive method like a condom, and is ideally taken within 72 hours.

Florida Senate passes 6-week abortion ban backed by DeSantis

Published Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:08:47 GMT

Florida Senate passes 6-week abortion ban backed by DeSantis TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Senate on Monday approved a bill to ban abortions after six weeks, a measure supported by Gov. Ron DeSantis as the Republican prepares to launch his expected presidential candidacy. The proposal must still be approved by the House before it reaches the governor’s desk. Florida currently prohibits abortions after 15 weeks. A six-week ban would more closely align Florida with the abortion restrictions of other Republican-controlled states and give DeSantis a political win on an issue important with GOP primary voters ahead of his potential White House run.The bill would have larger implications for abortion access throughout the South, as the nearby states of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi prohibit the procedure at all stages of pregnancy and Georgia bans it after cardiac activity can be detected, which is around six weeks. “Bodily autonomy should not give a person the permission to kill an innocent human being. We live in a time where th...
