On this day in 1991, Temple of the Dog was released — a one-off supergroup tribute to Andrew Wood, uniting members of Soundgarden and the future Pearl Jam. A raw, heartfelt grunge landmark.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K
Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone
Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin
So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?
