In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down: – The Supreme Court’s imminent decision on whether to freeze a court order out of Texas that revokes FDA approval of the abortion drug Mifepristone; and – Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan that seeks to prevent the House Judiciary Committee’s efforts at interference in the prosecution of Donald Trump. Stay informed.
