Summary
Reason number a billion why we need to prevent right wing Christian Nationalists from ever having any power at all in this country – Braidwood Management, Inc. v. Becerra.

Listen as Andrew breaks down this horrible f*cking decision.
Also, we some more updates on the DoJ's appeal to the 11th circuit.
