Coast Guard Commandant Testifies on Sexual Assault & Harrassment at Academy
1 hour, 37 minutesCoast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan testified on the Coast Guard Academy's alleged mishandling of sexual assault investigations during a public hearing before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. She said, "our failure to share the report with Congress was a mistake that prevented appropriate oversight and further eroded trust," alluding to the Coast Guard's "Operation Fouled Anchor" investigation, which ultimately determined the academy mishandled dozens of sexual assault allegations from the late 1980s until 2006. This investigation happened from 2014 to 2020, but it was not disclosed to Congress or the public until June 2023. Admiral Fagan said the concealment of this report was "a mistake," but not evidence of misconduct, and that she remained committed to proper accountability. She is the Coast Guard's first female commandant and began her tenure in June 2022.

Supreme Court Hears Case Challenging Abortion Pill Access
1 hour, 37 minutesThe Supreme Court ruled unanimously rejecting a challenge to the FDA's approval process and rules for expanded use of the abortion pill mifepristone. They said the group, the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM), which opposes abortions, had no standing to file suit and failed to show harm from the FDA's actions concerning the pill. Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered the majority opinion for the Court. Oral argument was heard back in March 2024. The medication, approved by the FDA in 2000, is part of a two-pill regimen for terminating early pregnancies. In 2016, the FDA expanded the drug's use from seven to 10 weeks of pregnancy, reduced the number of in-clinic appointments needed and gave prescribing authority to health care providers who are not physicians. In 2021 the agency removed the in-person requirement altogether.
