| | | | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 💣 An IVF clinic was bombed by an extreme anti-natalist. The suspect in Saturday's bombing of a California fertility clinic has been identified as Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old who called for "war against pro-lifers." Bartkus, who died in the explosion that injured four people, maintained a website promoting "pro-mortalism" and arguing that bringing people into existence is morally wrong. His manifesto revealed a worldview fundamentally opposed to human reproduction itself. | ⚕️ Biden diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. Former President Joe Biden's office confirmed that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which has metastasized to the bone. Because the cancer is hormone-sensitive, it supposedly allows for effective management. A recent Biden "gaffe" resurfaced from 2022 when he announced that "I and so damn many other people … have cancer." | 🏛️ Supreme Court punted on Trump's deportation plan. The Supreme Court effectively blocked the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan detainees. The decision, which sent the case back to the Fifth Circuit, also rebuked North Texas federal judges for delaying action on urgent requests related to the impending deportations. This move will now complicate, delay, and tie up the Trump administration's deportations efforts. | 🕊️ US pushes a Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff unveiled an updated proposal to Israel and Hamas, seeking the release of 10 hostages for a 45-60 day ceasefire and Palestinian prisoner releases. The proposal includes new language suggesting this agreement could begin a broader move to permanently end the war. This push arrives as Israel launches "Operation Gideon's Chariots" with five divisions reoccupying Gaza, signaling Trump's willingness to apply substantial pressure on both sides. |

| | | | THE MAIN STORY | MAHA secures another win with fluoride ban | | WHAT'S HAPPENING_ | The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it is beginning the process of removing kids' prescription drug products containing fluoride from the market. | Specifically, it is removing concentrated ingestible fluoride prescription products for children due to concerns over their unapproved status and potential impact on the developing gut microbiome. | The FDA's decision marks another success for the administration's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative. | | _THE FACTS_ | Fluoride — a mineral added to water and dental products to prevent tooth decay — was first added to US water supplies in 1945. The FDA will remove products that contain ingestible fluoride for children, which the agency claims were "never approved". These products are primarily fluoride drops and tablets. Commissioner Marty Makary wants to focus on sugar reduction and dental hygiene instead of altering microbiomes. The FDA's press release stated that "studies have suggested an association between fluoride and thyroid disorders, weight gain, and possibly decreased IQ." A Journal of the American Medical Association of Pediatrics review of 74 studies found a clear link between fluoride and reduced IQ in children. Florida banned fluoride last week after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) called it "forced medication on people." Utah implemented the first statewide fluoride ban earlier this year. Five additional states are currently considering similar fluoride bans in public water. The removal process will take time: the "public comment" period, which is demanded by federal law for major rule changes, will run until October 31.
