This week, the Supreme Court will hear its first major abortion case since the Dobbs decision. We’ll get into how the use of abortion pills has changed post-Roe and the possible revival of a 150-year-old anti-obscenity law. Plus, an update on the efforts to limit judge shopping. And, the story of a woman who completed an extreme running race.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

- “Biden’s Trustbuster Draws Unlikely Fans: ‘Khanservative’ Republicans” from The Wall Street Journal

- “Showdown in Cowtown” from Politico’s Morning Money

- “Where a Suit Can Proceed: Court Selection and Forum Shopping” from the Congressional Research Service

- “Use of Abortion Pills Has Risen Significantly Post Roe, Research Shows” from The New York Times

- “What is the Comstock Act?” from The 19th

- “Optimist Pollster Finds Americans Are Far More Alike Than Different, With Shared Values Bridging Political Divides” from Good News Network

- “Jasmin Paris Is First Woman to Finish Barkley Marathons” from The New York Times
