Former President Donald Trump is leaning on a network of personal and political relationships to rack up broad congressional support for his 2024 White House bid and undercut his chief Republican rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, before the governor's campaign formally gets off the ground. The depth and influence of Trump's retail politicking abilities have become increasingly apparent over the past several days and weeks as an ever-growing list of congressional Republicans has lined up behind the former president's comeback campaign. |

Access to the common abortion pill mifepristone will remain unchanged, for now, after the Supreme Court sided Friday with the Biden administration and paused a lower court ruling. The justices, in a brief order, said they will put on hold a ruling from a Texas federal judge while the Biden administration's appeal proceeds. |

In a dissent from the Supreme Court's order pausing mifepristone restrictions from taking effect, Justice Samuel Alito said there were "legitimate doubts" that the Biden administration would have followed a court decision that went the other way. "Here, the Government has not dispelled legitimate doubts that it would even obey an unfavorable order in these cases, much less that it would choose to take enforcement actions to which it has strong objections," Alito, one of the court's conservatives, wrote. |

Democratic lawmakers have come together in support of the Supreme Court order that paused a lower court ruling Friday that would have restricted access to the the common abortion pill mifepristone. The Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration Friday in a brief order that will hold back a Texas federal judge's ruling that the Federal Drug and Food Administration (FDA) approval of the drug mifepristone was unsafely rushed and should be restricted. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is suddenly facing a rash of attacks within the nascent GOP presidential field, with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) seeking to quash his candidacy before it even starts. Christie, who is openly mulling a 2024 bid of his own after ending far back in the pack during the last competitive GOP cycle, is seizing on signs that DeSantis may be losing steam ahead of his widely expected campaign launch this spring. |

Former President Trump launched a series of new attacks Friday at the state of Florida in a new email campaign taking aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) "The real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair," Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement. "He has left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents. |

OPINION | Justice delayed, they say, is justice denied. Justice delayed happens when judicial posts remain unfilled. And it is happening now with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) at her home recovering from illness. Her absence deprives the Senate Judiciary Committee, normally with 11 Democratic members and 10 Republican members, of the one-vote margin that makes its majority. |
OPINION | The starting point for any discussion of Earth Day 2023 is the climate report released late last month by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Think about the IPCC members as the scientists in disaster movies who try to warn indifferent political officials about the doomsday natural disasters that predictably devastate the earth after their scientific advice is ignored. |

BERLIN — When 13,000 demonstrators gathered at the Brandenburg Gate on Feb. 25 to call for an end to weapons supplies to Ukraine, the protest was led by Sahra Wagenknecht, a member of parliament for Germany's far-left Die Linke party and a firebrand with national ambitions. Wagenknecht decried the prospect that German tanks, soon to be delivered to Ukraine, could once again be used to shoot at "Russian women and men." |
