A New York state court has blocked Texas prosecutors from filing legal action against a New York doctor who prescribed and sent abortion pills to a woman in Texas.

This is likely to set up a legal battle, bringing this issue to a federal court to decide which state’s laws count, how and when. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin breaks it down.

On this episode of ‘The Best People’ podcast, Nicolle is joined by her longtime friend, CNN host and co-anchor Dana Bash. Coming off the release of her new book, ‘The Elections That Changed the World,’ the veteran journalist talks to Nicolle about some of America’s most pivotal moments, reflecting on her experience covering presidencies before President Trump polarized the two-party system beyond recognition. “What makes me sad about the Trump era,” she says, “is that my son doesn’t understand that this is not the way politics used to be.” The two reminisce about a different political climate, recalling John McCain’s emotional 2008 concession speech from their different vantage points: Nicolle backstage with the campaign and Bash covering it for CNN. They also discuss the unique challenge of holding power to account in the Trump era, such as how Bash prepared for her contentious interview with RFK Jr., and look ahead to the upcoming midterms in a time where every election feels like “the most consequential” of our lifetime.
