Defense Seeks to Question Holdout Juror Desronvil on Cellphone Use During Deliberations

Multiple outlets including Guardian and CBS reported that Lindsay Clancy's defense asked a judge to investigate the lone holdout juror Michael Desronvil over alleged cellphone use and questionnaire truthfulness. The original coverage omitted the simultaneous double jeopardy dismissal motion filed by attorney Kevin Reddington. This framing presented the juror probe as an isolated request rather than part of a broader effort to prevent a retrial.

FDA Nominee Overton Previously Worked to Reduce Recommended Childhood Vaccines

Corrected from Abcnews

The Guardian article emphasized Overton's statement that the MMR vaccine is safe and effective during her Senate confirmation hearing. It omitted her documented record as a White House aide reducing the number of vaccines recommended for children, as reported in NYT Health coverage. This selective focus presented an incomplete view of her vaccine policy history.

On September 24, 2026 NBC News, the Associated Press via Twin Cities, and STAT reported that Dr. Heidi Overton, 37, a preventive medicine physician and White House Domestic Policy Council deputy director, faced a Senate HELP confirmation hearing as FDA commissioner nominee, that Berkeley Lovelace Jr. at NBC, Matthew Perrone at AP, and Margaret Manto at STAT named mifepristone access scrutiny and vaccine questioning led by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), that STAT said she would be the youngest FDA commissioner if confirmed and that the agency is still recovering after roughly 20 percent staff cuts including thousands of departures, that Makary resigned in May leaving the post vacant, and that unfinished FDA confirmation hearing plus unfinished vaccine and drug-policy clocks is not already FDA remade forever and not already Overton already confirmed forever

On September 24, 2026 NBC News, the Associated Press via Twin Cities, and STAT reported that Dr. Heidi Overton, 37, a preventive medicine physician and White House Domestic Policy Council deputy director, faced a Senate HELP confirmation hearing as the nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration. Berkeley Lovelace Jr. at NBC News framed scrutiny over mifepristone access and vaccine questions from HELP chair Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.). Matthew Perrone of the Associated Press, carried by Twin Cities, said senators would focus on vaccines, the abortion pill, and other products under new scrutiny, and that the FDA has lost about 20 percent of employees since Trump took office. Margaret Manto at STAT said Overton would be the youngest FDA commissioner ever if confirmed and that the agency is still clawing back after 2025 reductions-in-force. Named coverage still described an unfinished hearing, unfinished committee and floor votes, and unfinished vaccine and drug-policy clocks. Unfinished FDA confirmation hearing plus unfinished vaccine and drug-policy clocks are real. They are not already FDA remade forever, and they are not already Overton already confirmed forever.

On September 22, 2026 CNN's Tami Luhby reported that Vice President JD Vance and CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz announced removal of more than 760,000 Obamacare ACA enrollees citing fraud, with projected savings of $2.2 billion. Named coverage said some were described as phantom enrollees who do not exist and others as enrolled without knowledge. Officials suspended brokers and agents and imposed a six-month moratorium on new brokers and agents. Another 419,000 were subject to additional verification on income and legal residency. HHS put enrollment at about 19.2 million in February, down from 21.8 million the prior year. Oz said about 35 percent never used the program, roughly twice traditional rates, and that 1.1 million lacked a Social Security number, with all enrollees needing an SSN going forward. Biden officials in 2024 suspended about 850 brokers; Trump officials later reinstated several hundred. Enhanced subsidies expired, so assistance is only under 400 percent of the federal poverty level, about $62,600 for an individual and $128,600 for a family of four. The New York Post's Steven Nelson put the yanked figure near 750,000 with about 450,000 more under review, about 3 percent of the program, and quoted Vance on people who do not know they are enrolled, are not using coverage, were unaware, or are phantoms. National Review said officials canceled 315,000 enrollments covering about 760,000 people, with 419,000 more in verification, and Oz announcing a temporary national moratorium on new brokers. Protect Our Care's Brad Woodhouse called the move a political stunt. Unfinished ACA fraud purge plus unfinished verification and appeal clocks are real. They are not already Obamacare eliminated forever, and they are not already every removed enrollee proven phantom forever.
