Let’s unpack the Supreme Court ruling on voting restrictions

Listen Later

The Supreme Court upheld Arizona’s voting restrictions with a 6-3 ruling today. We’ll talk about what it means for the Voting Rights Act, and the signal the conservative court is sending about voting laws overall. Plus: Why Robinhood could be the new WeWork, and the gender pay gap in the White House.

Here’s everything we talked about today:
