>Mifepristone is used for the medical treatment of high blood sugar caused by high cortisol levels in the blood (hypercortisolism) in adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who also have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or cannot have surgery...Mifepristone has also been used to treat symptomatic leiomyoma (uterine fibroids) and endometriosis.

Yes, both can be taken for abortions. But they have other medical uses as well.

The Bronco Sport (what's recalled) is not at all the same as the Bronco (not recalled). The Sport is built off the Escape chassis while the actual Bronco uses a ladder frame construction.
They are literally two entirely different vehicles that happen to share the same name.

Not necessarily. Currently states with entirely blue legislatures make up only 149 House seats. Split legislatures make up another 106 seats leaving 180 seats in red states.

>They technically would have to show that there was a violation of the US Constitution which does not exist.
That's basically the argument in Moore v Harper. If the ISL theory is accepted by the Court, a state court would have no authority over this matter.

That's not entirely correct.
It bans "classroom instruction". The problem is that the bill doesn't define what "instruction" means.
Is the teacher "instructing" a student if they explain why a man might date another man? Without a clear answer, if you're a teacher, are you willing to risk your job to answer such a question? Is a school district going to risk lawsuits by allowing teachers to do so?

This is really, at best, blunting the impact of the law and at worst, being misleading.
It's not just "sexual topics". If little Bobby asks why his friend has two moms, or why his brother's friend has a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend (or vice versa), the teacher cannot give an answer.
Kids are naturally curious. They ask a ton of questions. You are not helping them by ignoring reality or by trying to shield them from topics you don't like. They will ask questions about what they see and hear in the world. It's not harmful to answer them.

That's a question that has been asked, and studied, for decades and so far there's no clear answer. There's a lot that suggests that stereotype threat might be a factor (simply being aware of a stereotype makes it more likely to conform to that stereotype).

By far the easiest to implement would be to make the day a national holiday and to allow everyone to vote by mail, no questions asked.
There's a reason voting by mail has been targeted so heavily the past few years, even though a number of states have been doing it for over a decade.

They're both still H1 antagonists. Their exact method of action is slightly different, but they still target H1 receptors.
Both are listed as 2nd-gen:

Technically, both levocetirizne and fexofenadine are classified as second generation. While third-gen is frequently used for some of the newer antihistamines, there isn't an actual defined category yet.

There's a reason that show went from a cultural phenomena, something that was talked about weekly, and consistently got some extremely high ratings, to a show that is almost never mentioned without saying how bad the last two seasons were and routinely used as an example of how far ratings can fall from near perfect to...that.
