Summary

The Supreme Court largely punted on abortion access and curtailed a law the Department of Justice has been using to prosecute accused Jan. 6 insurrectionists. And NPR spoke with independent candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about why he is running a race he almost certainly cannot win.

This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, reproductive rights and abortion correspondent Elissa Nadworny, and All Things Considered host Scott Detrow.

The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our intern is Bria Suggs. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
