CAFE Insider

In this episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce break down the Supreme Court decision that left in place SB8, the Texas law that bans most abortions after six weeks of gestation. They also discuss the latest developments in the January 6th committee investigation: former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’s efforts to avoid complying with a subpoena, a PowerPoint presentation that was shared among Trump allies that shows the drastic measures that members of Trump’s orbit were considering to overturn the 2020 election results, and the D.C. Circuit Court’s decision to order the release of Trump White House documents.
