Comey indictment is 'not just about a single Instagram post,' acting attorney general says

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday the government has more evidence than an Instagram post supporting charges that former FBI Director James Comey threatened President Trump. Last year Mr. Comey posted a photo on Instagram depicting seashells on the beach arranged to read “86 47,” which many took as support for killing Mr. Trump. “This is not just about a single Instagram post,” Mr. Blanche said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “This is about a body of evidence that the grand jury collected over the series of about 11 months,” he said. “We will necessarily have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, at trial, every element of this crime, which we’re prepared to do.” A grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, where Mr. Comey took the seashell photo, indicted the former FBI director on two counts, threatening the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

That evidence was presented to the grand jury.”Blanche said he was not “permitted” to share the other evidence against Comey that was collected, but added: “At the trial — a public trial that will be open to the public — everybody in this country will know exactly what evidence the government has against Mr. Comey.”Comey was indicted last week on charges alleging he threatened the life of the president after he posted a photo on Instagram of seashells forming the numbers “86 47.”When asked Wednesday whether he actually felt that his life was threatened by Comey’s post, President Donald Trump said, “Probably.”“Well, if anybody knows anything about crime, they know 86 — you know what 86 — it’s a mob term for kill him,” Trump added.Restaurant workers told NBC News the term is “everyday lingo,” noting is has nothing to do

CDC Warns Large Tuberculosis Outbreaks Doubled in US Since Mid-2010s

1a·1o·spread 0.00·8 min agotuberculosis·via Newsweek8 min ago

Large tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in the country have surged sharply in recent years, doubling between 2017 and 2023, according to new data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.Researchers identified 50 large outbreaks—defined as 10 or more related cases within a three‑year period—across 23 states, up from just 24 outbreaks recorded from 2014 to 2016.The outbreaks accounted for 1,092 cases out of nearly 62,000 TB cases reported during the seven‑year period. While the U.S. continues to have one of the lowest TB incidence rates globally, the CDC says the rise in large outbreaks signals persistent transmission within close‑contact settings, particularly among people facing social and economic instability.What To KnowThe CDC found that nearly 80 percent of people involved in large outbreaks were U.S.-born, a dramatic contrast to the broader TB population, where only 26 percent of cases occur in U.S.-born individuals. Outbreak‑associated patients were also far more likely to experience substance use, 27 percent vs. 12 percent, homelessness, 9 percent vs. 5 percent, or incarceration 11 percent vs. 3 percent—factors that increase exposure risk and complicate treatment.Children and younger adults were disproportionately affected, according to the data with, 15 percent

Appeals court blocks FDA rule that allows women to obtain abortion drugs by mail

4a·4o·spread 0.51·19 min agoabortion·via CNN19 min ago

A federal appeals court temporarily reinstated a nationwide requirement that abortion pills be obtained in person, undermining access to the method of abortion that has only grown more widespread since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Friday’s ruling from the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals is a major victory in the anti-abortion movement’s war against medication abortion, which now accounts for roughly two-thirds of all abortions in the United States. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Louisiana last year against the US Food and Drug Administration, after President Donald Trump’s administration refused to act on calls to reinstate the in-person dispensing requirement for abortion pills through the regulatory process. The opinion was written by Trump-appointed Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan, joined by Circuit Judges Leslie Southwick and Kurt Engelhardt, who were appointed by Presidents George W. Bush and Trump, respectively. Referring to Louisiana abortion prohibitions, they wrote that the current federal regulations create “an effective way for an out-of-state prescriber to place the drug in the hands of Louisianans in defiance of Louisiana law.” Mifepristone manufacturer Danco Laboratories has asked the 5th Circuit to put its ruling on hold for seven days so it can appeal.
