Department of Justice back any legal challenges brought against manufacturers and pharmacies, and providing legal advice on how they can continue dispensing the pills, the sources said. The DOJ is separately seeking an emergency stay of the Texas order.

Pervert movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has reportedly 'flown first class' from Los Angeles (LA) to New York (NY) after his latest rape conviction with California tax payers paying for the luxury travel option.
