Adam Sommer intros a throwback episode pulling a prior "Big One" from the vault all about Trump's indictment. You know, the BIG indictment. Plus Adam talks a bit about what he's seeing in the Missouri Legislature, and also that it looks like signatures are IN on the abortion access ballot initiative petition!, but why that is not the end of the battle in restoring women's rights in Missouri.
