Since its approval more than 20 years ago, mifepristone has been associated with
26 deaths of pregnant mothers, over a thousand hospitalizations, and thousands
more adverse events, but that number does not account for all complications. Of
course, this does not count the hundreds of thousands to millions of babies whose
lives have been unjustly taken through chemical abortion. FDA should therefore:
l Reverse its approval of chemical abortion drugs because the
politicized approval process was illegal from the start. The FDA
failed to abide by its legal obligations to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of girls and women. It never studied the safety of the drugs
under the labeled conditions of use, ignored the potential impacts of the
hormone-blocking regimen on the developing bodies of adolescent girls,
disregarded the substantial evidence that chemical abortion drugs cause
more complications than surgical abortions, and eliminated necessary
safeguards for pregnant girls and women who undergo this dangerous drug
regimen. Furthermore, at no point in the past two decades has the FDA ever
acknowledged or addressed federal laws that prohibit the distribution of
abortion drugs by postal mail; to the contrary, the FDA has permitted and
actively encouraged such activity.
Now that the Supreme Court has acknowledged that the Constitution
contains no right to an abortion, the FDA is ethically and legally obliged to
revisit and withdraw its initial approval, which was premised on pregnancy
being an “illness” and abortion being “therapeutically” effective at treating
this “illness.” The FDA is statutorily charged with guaranteeing the
safety and efficacy of drugs and therefore should withdraw this drug that
is proven to be dangerous to women and by definition fatally unsafe for
unborn children.

The Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment charging two Russian nationals, Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, with conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and money laundering in a scheme to covertly influence U.S. audiences. Both Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva remain at large, according to the DOJ’s announcement today.
 
The indictment reveals that Kalashnikov, 31, and Afanasyeva, 27, who were employees of Russia's state-controlled media outlet RT, played pivotal roles in funneling nearly $10 million to a Tennessee-based online content creation company, referred to in court documents as U.S. Company-1. The content company, unbeknownst to its viewers, was funded and directed by RT to produce pro-Russian videos aimed at American social media users. This company is believed to be TENET Media, who touts right-wing hosts Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and others, as part of their roster.

The indictment further states: "KALASHNIKOV, AFANASYEVA, Founder-I, and Founder-2 also worked together to deceive two U.S. online commentators ("Commentator- I" and "Commentator-2" ), who respectively have over 2.4 million and 1.3 million YouTube subscribers. Founder-I and Founder- 2 contracted with Commentator-I and Commentator-2 to produce videos , using Commentator-1's and Commentator-2's own names and leveraging their existing audiences, for license and publication by U.S. Company-I."
 
These subscriber counts mentioned in the indictment match the number of YouTube subscribers for the accounts of Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, respectively.

"Russia has long sought to exploit our free and open society by secretly influencing public opinion in the United States," said Attorney General Merrick Garland. "The Department of Justice will not tolerate these covert efforts by foreign adversaries to manipulate our democracy."
 
The DOJ alleges that between October 2023 and August 2024, RT transferred nearly $10 million to U.S. Company-1 through a network of shell companies in Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Mauritius. The funds were allegedly used to produce and distribute content designed to sow discord among Americans, amplifying domestic divisions on issues like immigration, inflation, and U.S. foreign policy.
 
“Russia’s influence operations, as orchestrated by RT, are sophisticated and deceptive,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. “The defendants in this case used fake personas, shell companies, and misleading information to push Russian propaganda to millions of Americans.”

Within the indictment lies a troubling sequence involving directives from Elena Afanasyeva, alias "Helena Shudra," to manipulate content creation at U.S. Company-1, aiming to tailor videos to specific agendas. Notably, in early 2024, Afanasyeva orchestrated the creation of tailored content that included a video featuring a "well-known U.S. political commentator," who MeidasTouch can identify as Tucker Carlson, during an bizarre visit to a Russian grocery store in which Carlson said he was "radicalized" by how low the prices were in Moscow.
 
This particular piece was strategically circulated within U.S. Company-1’s Producer Discord Channel, prompting internal concerns among the staff about the overtly promotional nature of the content.

The indictment underscores RT's ongoing efforts to continue its influence operations in Western countries, despite formal bans and sanctions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. According to the DOJ, RT’s editor-in-chief boasted about creating an "empire of covert projects" to shape public opinion in the West.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the case, and authorities are actively seeking the whereabouts of the defendants

What we know so far about the shooting at Apalachee High School
From CNN staff
Four people were killed and nine were hospitalized after a shooting at a Georgia high school on Wednesday morning, officials said.

The suspected gunman is in custody and was identified as 14-year-old a student of Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, a community about an hour outside of Atlanta.

Law enforcement are still investigating the shooting and motive behind it. Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith warned that it could take “multiple days” to get answers.

Here’s what we know so far:

The suspected shooter and the victims:

Two students and two teachers were killed, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said.
The suspected shooter has been identified as 14-year-old Colt Gray, Hosey said, and he will be charged with murder and will be tried as an adult. Investigators have spoken to the suspected shooter and have been in touch with his family, Smith said.
There is no known connection between the suspected shooter and the victims, according to Smith. But Hosey added that the investigation is ongoing.
The timeline:

The sheriff’s department received the first reports of the shooting around 10:20 a.m., according to Hosey.
Law enforcement arrived shortly after those first calls, Hosey said, in addition to two school resources officers who were assigned to Apalachee High.
The resource officers confronted the shooter who “immediately surrendered to these officers and he was taken into custody,” Hosey said.
One student, Lyela Sayarath, said the suspected shooter left the classroom at the beginning of their Algebra 1 class. When the suspect returned near the end of the class, he knocked to get back in. Another student went to open the door, but Lyela said they noticed the gun and didn’t open the door. She said the shooter went to the classroom next door and opened fire.
The response:

The FBI and the ATF were on the scene working with local and state officials, Attorney General Merrick Garland said.
When the shooting happened, all schools in the district were placed in lockdown, and police were sent out of an abundance of caution to all district high schools. There were no reports of secondary incidents or scenes, law enforcement sources told CNN.
Apalachee High School received a phone threat earlier this morning warning that there would be shootings at five schools and that Apalachee would be the first, multiple law enforcement officials told CNN.
Schools in the county will be closed for the rest of the week while the investigation plays out, said Dallas LeDuff, the superintendent of the Barrow County school system.

Eliminate the week-after-pill from the contraceptive mandate as a  
potential abortifacient. One of the emergency contraceptives covered  
under the HRSA preventive services guidelines is Ella (ulipristal acetate).  
Like its close cousin, the abortion pill mifepristone, Ella is a progesterone  
blocker and can prevent a recently fertilized embryo from implanting in a  
woman’s uterus. HRSA should eliminate this potential abortifacient from  
the contraceptive mandate.

According to a joint statement from FBI Atlanta and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, today's 14-year-old shooter was questioned by law enforcement last year, when he was 13, regarding “several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time." He denied making them. His dad was also interviewed and told officials then that he had hunting guns in the house, but the "subject did not have unsupervised access to them."
