Inflation Hits Hard | Makary Out at FDA | Mail-Order Abortion Pill Fight | 5/13/26
from The A.M. Update
The latest CPI report shows inflation at its highest point since May 2023, with fuel oil up 54% and gasoline up 28%, as Trump deflects a question about Americans' financial pain by saying his only focus is keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary resigns under pressure from pro-life groups and the White House over his handling of mifepristone, while 23 states file a Supreme Court brief to block mail-order distribution of the drug, and General Dan Caine tells the Senate that maximum pressure on Iran is holding but the timeline is a political decision. FBI Director Kash Patel fires back at a senator grilling him with personal allegations, Rand Paul announces a CIA whistleblower will testify publicly on COVID origins, a Russian ship suspected of carrying nuclear technology to North Korea mysteriously sank in the Mediterranean, a 78-year-old Northern Ireland pastor is convicted for preaching near a hospital, and the U.S. withdraws from the UN Global Compact on Migration.
