And we're live. Welcome back to Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. We got a great Friday show for you today.

Loopcast brought to you by the Loop. Every American Catholic's favorite morning newsletter. So if you're not subscribed, head over there and do it now. Really excited to do today's show. We have, well, actually, excited and not excited. We had an IVF expansion. And there's a lot of layers to this. and we had a great statement from Kathy Boat President Kelsey,

we're going to hit on that, but we just got to break it down here. And there's a lot of layers to this. And we had a great statement from Catholic vote president.

Kelsey, we're going to hit on that.

But we just got to break it down here.

What's going on? Why are we expanding IVF? Trump to Pro Life President. Yada, yada, yada, yada. We're going to get into all that. Don't you worry. Second part, we had gerrymandering. Josh Joshua put us on to the origins of the word gerrymandering.

The flight continues, and we had a huge Supreme Court case.

And one of Erica, one of my favorites, Josh Joe put us on to the origins of the word gerrymandering. The fight continues.

And we had a huge Supreme Court case. And one of Erica, one of my favorite things to make Erica do is just like, hey, Erica, I know that you're obsessively watching this really obscure Supreme Court case. I guess it's not accurate. Obscure. And just give us the summary. What's going on? So we're going to get the breakdown there. What implications that have for midterms coming up here are 2028, even potentially. So really interesting stuff there. We got emails about a Muslim prayer room in the Vatican. We will address that. Don't you worry. We have good news. We have Twilight Zone. I'm actually going to give you guys the gambling secrets of J.B. Pritzker because he is the greatest gambler of all time, according to his tax filings.

Stay tuned for that. But before we get into all that, how we can do the show today. Shout out to Life on Belay today's sponsor, an organization doing really meaningful work.

They partner with nonprofits and ministries across the country to help them get clear on their mission,

strengthen their teams, and build the kind of structure that leads to long-term impact. It's all in the name, Belay. And rock climbing, a Belay is a safety system that steadies the climber. Do you have any climbers here? I do love. There's a free range climbing place in Indianapolis that I hit from time to time. So fun. They do the same for nonprofits and collectives, providing strategy, expertise, and support so they can reach their goals

more effectively. What I love about Life on Belay is that they don't just consult. They come

alongside organizations, forging real relationships. They listen. They ask good questions. And they

help organizations move from feeling stuck or scattered to confident and equipped.

Their work has helped hundreds of nonprofits grow in clarity, sustainability, and impact.

And then, of course, Erica's skin is glowing as usual.

I mean, how many women get to make their living by reading words like buckthorn and cacadoo plum live on air?
