On this episode, Ellie and Michelle talk to Jamila Johnson, Co-Director of Litigation at the Lawyering Project and Alex Moody, Staff Attorney at Lift Louisiana, about Act 246, a Louisiana law that adds mifepristone and misoprostol to the list of controlled substances, effectively restricting access to these medications commonly used for miscarriage and postpartum hemorrhage. We also cover lot’s of new dumb sh*t like Sec. Def. Hegseth’s spiritual leader who doesn’t think women should vote and Texas AG Paxton’s war against a recreational swim team - Seriously?!

After a much needed break, Ellie and Michelle are back for Season 2!!! This week, we break down two of the most insane Supreme Court decisions you may have missed — Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and Mahmoud v. Taylor. These decisions upend decades of settled understanding about how the Medicaid law works and whether the constitution protects homophobia (as long as you call it religion).

We’ll be back next week with Part 2 of the SCROTUS Recap.

Ellie and Michelle catch up with Representative Mandie Landry to hear how the legislative session wrapped up.  Landry shares her insights about pushing back on efforts to end diversity, equity and inclusion and strategically working across the aisle.  The political environment can be more toxic than the self-spreading pathogens and chemtrails that the MAHA lawmakers are worried about. Oh — and don’t worry, we also check back in on the legendary Frogging bill from Episode 3

We’re taking a break in July, but join us again in August.

Ellie and Michelle welcome the fabulous Morgan Lamandre, Executive Director of STAR, to help us process (or at least laugh-cry about) the end of the Louisiana legislative session. Spoiler: we actually had some wins!

We break down the final battle on the “sue everyone ban” and Morgan schools us on how abortion laws hit survivors of sexual assault the hardest. Hear how advocates like her survive this madness without turning into full-time screamers.
