Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said he'd prosecute people who take abortion pills. A day later, Marshall walked back his remarks and said only abortion providers would be prosecuted. Prosecuting people for taking abortion pills would not have been legal in the state of Alabama, civil-rights experts told Insider. The FDA authorized brick-and-mortar pharmacies across the country to pursue certification to carry abortion pills, a move that could expand abortion access nationwide. Kay Ivey in 2019, specifically says abortion providers can be held criminally liable, but people who get abortions cannot be.

LOS ANGELES—A decade ago, Georgia was a reliable college football power that couldn’t topple the sport’s dynastic kings to win titles. On Monday night at SoFi Stadium, the Bulldogs finally laid claim to a dynasty of their own. Georgia became the first program to repeat as champions in the nine-year College Football Playoff era with a crushing 65-7 win over Texas Christian. The Bulldogs used the same simple but suffocating formula it deployed all season en route to a 15-0 record: a stifling defense and a dangerous offense led by a 5-foot-11 former walk-on quarterback named Stetson Bennett IV.

3 TCU 65-7 Monday night to become the first team to win consecutive College Football Playoff national championships. TCU (13-2), the first Cinderella team of the playoff era, never had a chance against the Georgia juggernaut. No team has ever scored more points in a national championship game, dating to the beginning of the BCS in 1998. Georgia vanquished the Tide to break a 41-year national title drought last season, avenging its only regular-season loss in the process. They were within a victory of the program’s first national title since 1938.

Sen. Ted Cruz entered Monday night ecstatic about the TCU Horned Frogs' chances. #frogsby90," Cruz wrote on Twitter before the game. Led by Quarterback Stetson Bennett, a former walk-on player, Georgia stomped TCU 65-7. According to ESPN Stats and Info, the win is the largest margin of victory in a bowl game in college football history. Georgia enters next year with another chance at history: becoming the first team of the polling era to win three straight national titles.

☆ How Anti-Abortion Activists Bought Access to the Supreme Court

In exchange for as little as a few thousand dollars in contributions to the nonprofit, these people received easy access to events where Supreme Court justices would be. Supreme Court Historical society trustee Jay Sekulow, center, represented President Trump during the latter's impeachment trial in 2020. Anti-abortion advocates cheer in front of the Supreme Court after the decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores was announced in 2014. Alito did not respond to a request for comment on his involvement in the Supreme Court Historical Society. Supreme Court justices, though, aren't even required to stay within those weak guardrails because no code of ethics governs justices' behavior.

Attorney General Keith Ellison charged a former Minneapolis police officer Wednesday with beating a man during protests over George Floyd’s death. Justin Stetson, 34, faces one felony count of third-degree assault in connection with the May 30, 2020, beating of Jaleel Stallings. According to the criminal complaint, Stetson was among a group of officers enforcing a city-wide curfew that night when his group spotted four people in a parking lot. The city of Minneapolis paid Stallings $1.5 million this past May to settle his federal lawsuit. He alleged Stetson and other officers violated his constitutional rights.

☆ It Took Six College Seasons, but Stetson Bennett IV Is Finally Georgia’s Man

There were plenty of obstacles in quarterback Stetson Bennett IV’s journey from walking on to Georgia’s football team to finally winning the starting job outright last spring after winning a national championship. Chief among them: himself. “I would catch myself on first-and-10 thinking about their third-and-medium blitz,” Bennett said in an interview earlier this season. “You start to get pissed off. Like, why do I still suck?”

Her previous expressions of her policy views about alleged big tech monopolists, Boasberg said, did not require Khan’s recusal under the standard for federal prosecutors. (The petition and stay motion are not in the FTC docket but are exhibits in the preliminary injunction case.) We know this from an Oct. 6 letter from the FTC to Weil Gotshal in the administrative proceeding. Remember, Meta is not asking Davila to order Khan off either the preliminary injunction case or the administrative proceeding. We’ll know more about whether the stratagem accomplished anything when the preliminary injunction case goes to a hearing in December.

Tom Brady briefly tried out retirement, but at age 45 he’s still a few years away from being able to fully join the AARP. The University of Georgia’s soon-to-be 25-year-old quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, on the other hand, is already embedded with the retirement group. Mr. Bennett and some of his linemen are stars of a new AARP commercial in Georgia that warns seniors of fraud. A student quarterback might seem like an odd choice to be a pitchman for retirees, but Mr. Bennett is one of the most popular people in the state after delivering the Bulldogs their first national championship in 41 years last season. He also represents a surprising development in college football: many of the players are a lot older than they used to be.
