Yesterday the FDA lifted a major restriction that will permanently allow people to access abortion pills by mail. Next, let's talk Omnicron and the rising surge. BTW, it turns out that the drug Regeneron is not as effective against the Omicron variant as against previous ones. Meanwhile, the Republican Party has agreed to pay up to $1.6 million in legal bills for former president Donald Trump to help him fight investigations. This week, Biden signed an executive order that will allow you to renew your passport online. And lastly, (trigger warning: discussions of sexual assault), we talk about the sexual assault allegations against actor Chris Noth.
