POLITICS: Yesterday, 21 states said ‘hmmm, no’ and sued the Trump team over new rules on abortion. Reminder: one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises was to crack down on abortion. Aka make it harder for people to have access to an abortion. So recently, the Trump team intro’d new rules that’d block doctors from recommending abortions - along with take federal funding away from clinics that don’t properly separate abortion services from the rest of the clinic. Now, 21 states are suing and saying these new rules violate Obamacare policies. In other news, House Dems just sent out 81 letters as part of a new investigation into allegations that the Prez obstructed justice. Stay tuned.
WORLD: All eyes are on Venezuela. Recently, Juan Guaido said ‘I fear nothing’ and returned to Venezuela after violating a travel ban - something that could result in his arrest. Quick refresher: pretty much the whole world hates Venezuela’s current prez - Nicolas Maduro. So weeks ago, the country’s opposition leader - Guaido - swore himself in as interim prez. Over the past couple days, he’s been traveling to Venezuela’s neighbors to chat with their leaders - plus Vice Prez Mike Pence. Now, he faces arrest. No word yet on this from Maduro. Speaking of which, a second Canadian cabinet minister just resigned after it came out that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to cover up a criminal case. Not good, eh.
PEOPLE: Yesterday, it came out that a London patient may have become the second person ever to be cured of HIV. You read that right. This comes over a decade after the first person was cured of HIV - using the same method, which treats patients with stem cell transplants from donors who have a resistance to HIV. Meanwhile, people around the world are mourning the death of Luke Perry after the 52 year old actor suffered a massive stroke. Perry was known for playing Dylan on “Beverly Hills 90210” and Archie’s dad on “Riverdale” - to name a few. Celebrities and fans alike took to Twitter to remember him.
