Get tickets for the #SistersInLaw Live Show in Denver, Colorado, on 4/23/26 at politicon.com/tour
Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the murder charges filed against Alexia Moore in Georgia after she had to go to the hospital following complications from taking Mifepristone to have an abortion, and the wider context of the war on women’s rights. Then, the #Sisters lay out the increasingly illegitimate actions of the DOJ, centering on the attempt to investigate the Federal Reserve, the case of a possible intelligence leak by NCTC head Joe Kent, and the subpoena of James Comey. They also examine the recent convictions of protestors labeled as domestic terrorists as members of “antifa”, and the impact it has on our civil rights and the ability to exercise our liberties.

| 0:34.7 | We can't wait to see you there, and we will have more live shows that we're going to be |
| 0:39.5 | announcing very soon, so stay tuned. We have a lot of heavy discussion this week. We'll be |
| 0:45.6 | discussing a new salvo in fetal personhood laws. Craziness at the Department of Justice. Well, |
| 0:53.2 | I mean, it's always been crazy, but it's getting worse. |
| 0:55.6 | And then we're going to be talking about a case in which members of a so-called group, Antifa, |
| 1:02.0 | have been prosecuted and convicted for protesting. But before we get there, you guys know I don't follow sports. |

| 1:25.4 | So Barb and Kim, tell me what you're going to be doing. Who are you |
| 1:29.9 | rooting for? Well, here in Ann Arbor, it's nothing but Michigan. We are rooting for the |
| 1:35.6 | Wolverines, go blue. Michigan also won its first round game. Men and women have very good teams |

| 1:45.7 | we are facing St. Louis University in the next round. Yeah. So that, you know, I'm from Michigan, |
| 1:53.3 | but my household is one of the St. Louis University Billikins. My husband is an alum. He went to both St. Louis High |
| 2:04.2 | and St. Louis University. I know when you're from St. Louis, you got to tell people where you went to |
| 2:08.0 | high school. So he is a billiken through and through. By the way, it took me a long time to even |
| 2:14.6 | understand what a billikin is. I had to look this up last night. I literally looked this up last night. |
