my thanks. welcome to the beat. i don t have time to goof around him. i have cecile richards here on the policy and political earthquake. later tonight, we have an update with stunning developments in the push to punish lives in society and our broken politics. a twist in the alex jones trial we have been covering. you are going to want to see it and he s going to wish you didn t. later tonight, new subpoenas in the january 6 and coo conspiracies. we begin with one of those seemingly unexpected developments that i can report tonight, again shows the limits of these beltway pundit predictions that we share so much. it shows how action and persistence and organizing can beat predictions or cynicism even in today s politics with everything we all live through and feel about what is wrong with today s politics. you probably have some idea of what i m referring to. ever since the supreme court struck down roe v. wade, with republican appointees shredding their own claims the
