In a letter to two organizations representing reproductive health physicians, the FDA states it would “exercise enforcement discretion” in its requirement that the first of two drugs needed to abort an early pregnancy be given in a clinic. With the FDA’s permission, research has been underway to prove that providing women seeking abortions with a telemedicine consultation, and having the pills mailed to them, are safe and effective. Recent research conducted over the course of the pandemic also discovered similar results—finding that abortion medications are not only safe and effective at terminating early pregnancies, but can prevent a patient’s exposure to COVID-19....

Powell told NBC News’ Today show that the economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak was “not a typical downturn” as people were being asked to shutter their businesses for public health reasons. He also said that there was “nothing fundamentally wrong” with the underlying U.S. economy and argued that confidence would return when the spread of the novel coronavirus was under control.

But something funny happened: the gala was a bomb. Sure, former mayor Rudy Giuliani was there with his gal pal Judith Nathan....
