Trump Administration Removes Hospital Guidance on Emergency Abortions
The Trump administration announced that it was ending Biden-era guidance that directed hospitals to provide emergency abortions for women across the country.
Issued in 2022, the guidance was an effort to preserve abortion access nationwide for women in extreme cases in the wake of the Supreme Court issuing the Dobbs Decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned rulemaking on abortion back to the state level.

Musk's Empire at Risk After Trump Feud Opens Multi-Front Fight
What began as Elon Musk's embrace of right-wing populism has become a defining — and potentially harmful — chapter in his business career. By endorsing Donald Trump's MAGA movement and far-right parties in Europe, Musk alienated a big portion of his original customer base, eroding Tesla's brand, sales and market share around the globe. Then came this week's rupture: a personal and public breakup with Trump that prompted threats of retaliation from a man with control over the world's most powerful government.

Amidst Protections For The LGBTQ+ Community Being Erased, GOP Senators Want To Designate June As "Life Month"
Senators Todd Young (Ind.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) are leading Republican efforts to brand June as 'Life Month' during the already celebrated Pride Month, which honors the achievements and culture of the LGBTQ+ community. 'Every human life is worthy of protection, and it is especially incumbent upon Americans and lawmakers to protect the most vulnerable among us,' Cruz said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter. @SenTedCruz / Via According to Young's statement introducing the resolution, 'Life Month' is meant to 'recognize the dignity of human life, commends those who promote life, and encourages policymakers to continue providing resources to empower women and families to choose life.' Related: This Senator's Clap Back Fully Gagged An MSNBC Anchor, And The Clip Is Going Viral While the senators did have 11 other months they could designate as 'Life Month,' they said the resolution marks June as the anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Cruz and Young's pitch rings similar to Illinois Congresswoman Mary Miller's resolution, which suggested fully replacing 'Pride Month' with 'Family Month.'

Neither Cruz nor Young said they want to replace Pride Month, but their actions come at a time where the Trump administration has launched aggressive attacks against the LGBTQ+ community. Under his administration, President Donald Trump has erased or altered Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pages focused on the risks of suicide among LGBTQ children, school safety, and health disparities. He has also signed executive orders that declared it official U.S. policy that there are only two sexes, male and female, and banned people with gender dysphoria from military service. Earlier this week, Trump's Department of Education also formally declared June as 'Title IX Month.' On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the Navy to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, which honors the slain LGBTQ+ rights icon. This move reportedly was intentionally made during Pride Month. A total of 26 Republican senators co-sponsored the resolution, including Alabama's Tommy Tuberville and South Carolina's Lindsey Graham. 'If we are going to dedicate entire months to recognizing every group under the sun, the least we can do is dedicate June to protecting unborn babies,' Tuberville said on X. @SenTuberville / Via This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

Yeah... So... Here's How Fox News Is (Bizarrely) Talking About Donald Trump And Elon Musk's Breakup
If you somehow missed it, President Donald Trump and his former advisor (and bestie) Elon Musk got into a back-and-forth spat on social media yesterday. A lot was said. Trump accused Elon of backing down on his support for the president's championed "One, Big Beautiful Bill" because "he found out we're gonna have to cut the EV mandate." And Elon called said Trump was showing "such ingratitude" considering, "without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate." Not one to be upstaged, Trump threatened to "terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts." And Elon volleyed back by accusing Trump of being "in the Epstein files," despite Trump denying connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Obviously, the sitting president and the world's richest man getting into a very public feud was widely covered by news outlets, including Fox News — a conservative outlet Trump has openly admired... and also one that appears to go light on the president. Related: This Senator's Clap Back Fully Gagged An MSNBC Anchor, And The Clip Is Going Viral So here's how they covered the quarrell: Fox News host Sean Hannity shared footage of Trump handing Elon a ceremonial, gold-colored key during Elon's government send-off last week. "That was less than a week ago," Hannity said. "These are two very talented individuals. Frankly, they don't need each other to be successful, but I do hope they work it out and set an example for the rest of the country." Related: This Republican Lawmaker's Embarrassing Lack Of Knowledge Of The Term "Intersex" Went Viral After He Proposed An Amendment To Cut LGBTQ+ Funding Host of her own Fox show, Laura Ingraham ran a segment on the pair called "When Friendship Gets DOGE'd," where she praised Elon while suggesting Trump should "simply disengage." "Musk is his own person," Ingraham said. "The government contracts that he has stand on their own merit. They shouldn't be called into question. Threatening to pull them, that's not wise, when five minutes ago you were hailing Musks work in helping rescue the stranded Americans in space. Elon Musk is like the Thomas Edison of our time. He sacrificed for America personally and professionally, and he wanted to make the Trump presidency happen, and it did." Fox News / Twitter: @Acyn And finally, we have Jesse Watters, who insisted that, "Sometimes when you're angry, you say things you don't mean." As an odd and hopefully tongue-in-cheek example, Watters pointed to peer Greg Gutfeld, saying, "Greg mocked my hair last week, and I said he's on the Epstein list." Continuing, Watters said, "Now, I didn't mean that. I made it up." "Sometimes guys fight," Watters pressed on. "Guys will sometimes punch you in the face, and the next night you're having a beer. Sleep with your girlfriend, and you patch things up. Not your wife, your girlfriend!" "These guys are like roommates. They were living in close quarters for like, the first six months of the year. They're just blowing off steam." Well! There you have it. What are your thoughts on the coverage? Let us know in the comments.
