Martin Makary shared misinformation about abortion pills at his Senate confirmation hearing.

On Tuesday night, the Senate 56 to 44 voted to confirm Martin Makary as Trump’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner.

Three Democrats—Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) —joined Republicans in the confirmation vote to appoint Makary, formerly a surgeon and professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, to lead the agency’s 18,000 employees and spearhead the regulation of products as vast and varied as food, cosmetics, and medical devices.

    Hassan and Shaheen both seemed like abortion allies just 2 months ago.

    New Hampshire must have changed their state motto when I wasn’t looking. It used to be “live free or die.”

    And that Dick in Illinois? He seemed like he was on the good side too.
