Supreme Court Of Texas Orders Release Of Jailed Texas Stylist Shelly Luther

AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM) – The Supreme Court of Texas has ordered the release of Dallas salon owner, Shelly Luther, who was jailed for violating executive stay at home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. She’s currently in isolation and protective custody at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in Dallas.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott modified his executive orders and eliminated confinement as a punishment for violating the mandates. Both Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton voiced support for Luther on Wednesday.

State District Judge Eric Moyé sentenced Luther to seven days in jail earlier this week on contempt of court charges for disobeying a judge’s temporary restraining order prohibiting her from operating her salon. “Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen,” Abbott said a day after his ruling.

Now at the center of a national debate, Luther has garnered the support from “Open Texas” and other free speech advocates. The organizer of one of those groups set up a GoFundMe page, which has raised more than $500,000.

DNC is asking people to pay upward of $100K for a ‘virtual dinner’ with Hillary Clinton

Shiver

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set to appear at a "virtual dinner" campaign event for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden later this month that could cost attendees up to $100,000. The event, put on by the Biden for President Victory Fund and the Democratic National Committee, will be hosted on Zoom and is scheduled for May 19, Politico reported Tuesday. A PDF of the flyer shows that the event will be extremely pricey to attend. "Hosts" are expected to pay $100,000 to attend the virtual dinner, while other tickets are available for $50,000, $41,100, $15,600, $5,600, and $2,800 at "limited availability."

As a bonus, attendees will be joined by DNC Chair Tom Perez for the one-hour dinner. Clinton endorsed the former vice president last week during a virtual town hall after largely staying out of the political spotlight during the Democratic primary. "I've been not only a colleague of Joe Biden's, I've been a friend, and I can tell you that I wish he were president right now but I can't wait until he is — if all of us do our part to support the kind of person that we want back in the White House," the failed 2016 Democratic candidate said. "I've been in the lobby of the Senate. I've been in the cloakroom and I've watched Joe bring people together. We have a lot of the same values in common, the same work ethic, the same belief in America, the same focus on family," she said. "We need a leader, a president, like Joe Biden." Biden responded to the endorsement, saying, "I really appreciate your friendship. What a, just a wonderful personal endorsement."

Doctors find hydroxychloroquin success rate at 91%, urge Arizona governor to make drug available

Arizona GOP Governor Ducey asked to rescind executive orders forbidding prescriptions of the drug to prevent coronavirus

A doctors group reportedly says hydroxychloroquine has helped over 90% of coronavirus patients improve and are urging Arizona GOP Gov. Doug Ducey to rescind his executive orders forbidding prescriptions of the drug for the prevention of the virus. “We believe that there is clear and convincing evidence of benefit both pre-exposure and post-exposure,” Association of American Physicians and Surgeons officials Dr. Michael Robb and Dr. Jane Orient wrote to Ducey, according to The Epoch Times.

Other studies have cast doubt about the efficacy of the hydroxychloroquine, including ones in France and Israel. The study in France, announced in mid-April, found no evidence of success in treating patients hospitalized for the virus and requiring oxygen. Hydroxychloroquine has been long been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of malaria and lupus and recently received emergency FDA approval to use on coronavirus patients.

The doctors reportedly reached the conclusion after looking at data through April 20 related to 2,333 patients from multiple countries treated with hydroxychloroquine, including some treated in combination with zinc or azithromycin. They found 91.6% of the patients improved clinically. However, most of the data appears anecdotal and not obtained through official studies. In some cases, the name of the doctor is listed but no other information is included.
