 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv.

 Texas and Florida move to join lawsuit challenging abortion pill

Texas and Florida on Friday requested permission from a federal judge to join a lawsuit aimed at limiting access to the abortion pill mifepristone, arguing they must protect their own abortion policies amid shifting laws in other Republican-led states.

The case is currently spearheaded by Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho, which claim the U.S. Food and Drug Administration improperly eased restrictions on mifepristone, including allowing remote prescriptions and mail delivery. Texas and Florida contend in a court filing that the existing states may no longer fully represent the interests of all Republican-led states. They cited legal changes that have affected Missouri and Idaho’s bans on elective abortions, as well as a Kansas Supreme Court decision affirming broad abortion rights, which they say weaken the original plaintiffs’ position. The states also said they need to defend their policies against “shield laws” in other states, such as New York, that facilitate mail-order access to the drug.

The lawsuit challenges FDA actions from 2016 and 2021 that expanded the window for medication abortions from seven to ten weeks of pregnancy and permitted mailing the drug without an in-person clinician visit. The case began under former President Joe Biden and has been defended by the Trump administration, with the Supreme Court rejecting attempts last year to further restrict Mifepristone. A federal judge allowed Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho to continue the case, paving the way for Texas and Florida’s request to join.
