    Bloomberg News, Syndicated content|Updated Apr 10, 2023

    WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is asking a federal judge in Washington state to explain how the government can comply with his order preserving access to the abortion pill in the face of a conflicting ruling by a federal judge in Texas. In filing Monday in federal court in Spokane, Wash., the Justice Department pointed out to U.S. District Judge Thomas O. Rice that the Texas ruling, which overturned FDA approval for mifepristone, was set to go into effect on Friday. “The result of that order appears to be in sig...

  • Remembering my days of hunting those wascally wabbits

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Apr 8, 2023

    I learned many Easter egg hunts ago from none other than Elmer T. Fudd that wabbits are wascally. I was convinced at a very young age that my Daisy BB gun was going to take down one of the long-legged jackrabbits running everywhere in our part of the country. I put in the hours hunting those long-eared bunnies but I’m pretty sure I never hit one. Mostly because they were usually a long way out and running fast when I got a shot. I did club one with the stock one day while foll...

    Jon Mark Beilue, Sports columnist|Updated Apr 8, 2023

    Texas Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt never did get around to calling me to see who he should hire as Tech’s next basketball coach. Come to think of it, he also never did two years ago the last time Hocutt and a committee went searching for a basketball coach. Had he either time, I would have told him to get Grant McCasland. He would not only be able and willing, but ready. He paid his dues and is ready for the big stage. Two years ago, Tech was reeling from the gut punch...
