The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:
