A county clerk in New York refused Thursday to file a more than $100,000 judgment from Texas against a doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills to a woman near Dallas, setting up a potential challenge to laws designed to shield abortion providers who serve patients in states with abortion bans.

Republican Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton said he was outraged by the refusal and signaled he would take action.

“New York is shredding the Constitution to hide lawbreakers from justice, and it must end,” Paxton said on X.

Bruck became acting county clerk last year after a resignation and has been endorsed by county Democrats for election to the post.

Some GOP lawmakers are even ready to rein in the president's power to implement tariffs, citing the economic uncertainty that spooked investors earlier this month.

Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday that the “power of the purse” had to return to the legislative branch amid tariff proposals that could sour voters.
