The Supreme Court on Monday restored mail-order access to the chemical abortion drug mifepristone for now. Justice Samuel Alito signed the order. It pauses a federal appeals court ruling that would have required in-person prescriptions. Drug makers asked for the pause over the weekend. Several states have sued the FDA over the mail-order policy. We'll have much more on this later in the program. U.S. forces sank at least six Iranian boats on Monday, opening a passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
