Former CEO Howard Schultz added in an interview with Poppy Harlow that it will “transform the coffee industry,” and be “a very profitable new addition to the company.”But what the company may not have taken into account: Some customers say it’s making them have to run to the bathroom.“Half the team tried it yesterday and a few ended up… needing to use the restroom, if ya know what I mean,” a barista on the Starbucks Reddit page posted.

Texas judge’s abortion ruling ignites new showdown that could harm Republicans

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 17:26:54 GMT

(CNN) — A single conservative judge in Texas has provoked sudden health care and legal chaos by effectively halting the nationwide use of a popular abortion drug by the end of the week.US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision to suspend the Food and Drug Administration approval of the drug mifepristone, which has been used safely for more than 20 years, marked an extraordinary use of judicial power in the face of scientific data and is likely to force the Supreme Court to take up abortion again, a year after it overturned Roe v.

The Biden administration is already mobilizing to thwart the judge’s audacious move after lodging an appeal.But the ruling is causing sharp political reverberations amid criticis...
