Abortion Pill Access Stays Put: The U.S. Supreme Court blocked new limits and kept mifepristone available nationwide for now, including through telehealth and mail-order—while Louisiana’s lawsuit continues. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented sharply, arguing the fight is being used to profit from unlawful activity. Medicaid & Immigration Data: A new KFF Health News report says several Republican-led states—including Louisiana—have gone beyond federal rules by using public health agencies to flag Medicaid recipients for immigration enforcement. Louisiana Weight-Loss Coverage Gap: A Tulane doctor says GLP-1 injections are rising nationally, but Louisiana patients still face a coverage gap versus bariatric surgery, which she says is more often covered. Louisiana Politics & Maps: The Louisiana Senate advanced a new U.S. House map that would eliminate one majority-Black district, setting up the next step in the process. Local Safety Update: Shreveport identified a man who died after a Cedar Grove police standoff; Louisiana State Police are leading the investigation.
