Meanwhile, federal officials said they’re launching a new action plan to help those who are trying to access abortions but live in states where the once-constitutional right became illegal overnight.
- A First Amendment issue was settled after a high school student was kicked off his football team for allegedly disrespecting the American flag.
- At the roundtable, Democratic strategist Dale Butland and Republican strategist Terry Casey weigh in on the reversal of Roe v. Wade and bombshell testimony this week at the Jan. 6 hearings.
