Abortion Pill Fight: The U.S. Supreme Court kept mifepristone access alive nationwide for now, extending a stay so pharmacies and mail/telehealth routes won’t be cut off until at least Thursday while justices weigh whether new limits can take effect. Local Health & Safety: Louisiana State Police reported a fatal head-on crash in Claiborne Parish on Highway 2, killing a 48-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman. Workplace & Transit: Current and former New Orleans RTA employees filed a federal lawsuit alleging discrimination, retaliation, and “systemic misconduct,” including claims of a staff “hotties list.” Food Safety: Terrebonne Parish inspections found multiple restaurants with repeated critical violations, including unsafe food storage and sanitation issues. Community Health: CHRISTUS Health promoted stroke awareness, urging people to call 911 fast when symptoms hit. Other Notables: Bossier City earned an A grade for water system management, and Louisiana’s menhaden season kicked off with the Blessing of the Fleet.
