May 06 Don’t P*** on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining
Courts are doing things. Louisiana is doing things. The Fifth Circuit is doing things. None of it is good. Pour yourself something strong and join Ellie and Michelle as they try to make sense of the week that was. The SCOTUS opinion in Louisiana v. Callais dropped this week and Alito is gaslighting us all. And a three-judge Fifth Circuit panel effectively reinstated in-person prescription requirements for mifepristone — nationwide.

Full federal appeals court won’t rehear $83 million defamation verdict against Trump
Listen to I've Had It: Revenge is Best Served Publicly with E. Jean Carroll
Court restricts abortion access across the US by blocking the mailing of mifepristone

April 08 A Flashback to 1950
In this episode, Ellie and Michelle run through a laundry list of batshit stuff that happened nationally and in Louisiana. How did the Artemis II launch get overshadowed by the Supreme Court’s bizarre decision on conversion therapy, the spectacle of Kristi Noem, Lindsey Graham, and Pam Jo, and Trump’s temper tantrum at SCOTUS. Back on the Gulf, The Right to Life wants to show kids propaganda videos and a racist Senator from Monroe wants to fire judges in New Orleans.

March 25 Signs of NOPE
Michelle and Ellie unpack recent legislative developments in Louisiana including the influence of religious and unlicensed pregnancy centers, their role in propagation of misinformation, and their lack of regulation. They also discuss Ohio Republicans proposing a pregnancy registry requiring health providers to report fetal heartbeats and pregnancy outcomes. And the US Congress's Ludicrous proposal for mandatory collection of fetal remains.

March 18F* It, Let’s Do It Again...and Again
Michelle and Ellie are back in the legislative trenches after last week’s podcast episode suffered a catastrophic recording error. So they recorded it again, because there’s wild stuff this legislative session in Louisiana. Lawmakers are trying to do everything from changing the definition of abortion to giving parents unfettered rights- including refusing to treat their children with cancer. Seriously, that’s a bill.
