OA722: Right-Wing Judge Appointed to the Bench to Ban Abortion… Bans Abortion

Today, Liz and Andrew break down Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s late-night Friday stay order that essentially overrules the FDA and removes mifepristone (the abortion pill) from the list of approved drugs.

How bad is it? Is a parallel decision from a federal court on Washington part of the solution? What’s next? Listen and find out!

OA707: Peter Navarro Gets Spanked By Government In Presidential Records Case With Major Implications For Trump

Today, Liz and Andrew break down the DOJ’s sweeping win “in replevin” against Trump loyalist goon Peter Navarro. What’s replevin? Why do we care? Listen and find out for this case that has significant implications for the Presidential Records Act, which in turn may have significant implications for any former Presidents who have refused to give back their Presidential records.

We begin with a terrifying development in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, currently on the desk of Liz’s sworn enemy, Judge Kacsmaryk.
