A judge issues an emergency order to allow one Texas woman to get an abortion. But the state immediately pushes to block the order at the Texas Supreme Court. We look at the larger ramifications of the legal fight, and how it could affect an ongoing case before the state's highest court. Plus, Texas Senator John Cornyn voted with other Republicans to block aid to Ukraine and Israel, demanding the administration make big changes on border policy in exchange for their support. Monica Madden speaks one-on-one with the Senator about his decision, and why he says it's important to push for changes to asylum rules. And, Irma Carrillo Ramirez rose from picking cotton to presiding in the courtroom. The judge made history this week by becoming the first Latina to be confirmed to serve on the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. In her own words, we hear how her story represents a unique version of the American Dream.
