Today's headlines: The confirmed death toll from Monday’s back-to-back earthquakes in Turkey and Syria is approaching twelve thousand people, with tens of thousands more injured. A significant federal court case is coming up in Texas that has the potential to single-handedly outlaw medication abortion in all 50 states by banning mifepristone. The St. Johns County school district in Florida released a new list of books to be banned from all its libraries. Matt Gaetz was quietly added to a select committee that the republicans have formed. Finally for today, the republican-led House Oversight Committee held a hearing with Twitter executives to discuss how the company handled a particular New York Post story from 2020.
