Abortion rights have always required a fight… Thinking about Dr T.R.M. Howard today… Prepping for my roundtable with VP Harris today marking one year post-Roe v Wade.

“What I do know is there are plenty of Trump’s own words that are sufficient to bury him—and maybe, just maybe, yield a conviction. If that sounds uncertain to you, remember this is the closest this man has ever been to real accountability, including incarceration.“
