Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with two major stories linked to the right's minority rule attack on democracy. Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in Tennessee on Friday after meeting this afternoon with the "Tennessee Three." We bring you more on this story. Plus, we have breaking news out of Texas on the major ruling that we have been waiting for. Federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has officially put the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, the abortion pill, on hold. He has given the federal government seven days to seek emergency relief. This is the biggest blow to abortion access since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. The case effects access to the drug not just in Texas but nationwide.
