the line. in kansas, abortion remains illegal with all of its restrictions. kansas is still not a place where it is particularly easy to get an abortion. but it is a place where abortion is illegal. and that we need to figure out not just, how do we continue to hold the line, but how do we rebuild in states where access doesn t exist at the moment. rachel sweet, thank you. good to talk to you. thank you so much. as we go to break everybody, a live look from the senate floor where democrats are preparing for a key vote to begin the debate of the inflation reduction act. we are following it alive for you. we are also going to dive into arizona senator kirsten sinema s role in the negotiations, and what she was able to change. we will be right back. as able to change we will be right back. i rode horses. i really do take care of myself. i try to stay in shape. that s really important, especially as you age. i noticed after kids that my body totally changed. i started noticing a litt
in germany who s thought to be a former colonel in russian intelligence. that is considered by the u.s. to be not such a serious offer, especially since it was made through back channels. according to cnn, but this means that this deal is something that is in the mix, but it s something that could be slowed by these russian bands that the u.s. is not taking seriously, or doesn t consider to be serious offers. bc this nine year sentence for britney griner. that is actually a good thing. that means with that sentence, with the conviction in hand, the diplomats can really start to do their work in earnest, in terms of making some sort of prisoner exchange. that s the best hope that we learn and grander still have of getting out of prison. here s the thing, against all of this, you had secretary blinken and lavrov both in cambodia, right? in pictures, we saw them publicly. do we have any idea, any kind of back early information or
