On this week’s podcast: Benji and Omaya discuss Arkansas’s cease-and-desist letters to out-of-state groups providing abortion pills by mail, Dave Ramsey breaks down the Educational Rights Amendment, and Matt Campbell has the lowdown on why Entergy and other power companies have helped Supreme Court Justice Barbara Webb retire her campaign debt (we’re sure it’s nothing to do with the fact her husband chairs the regulatory commission that oversees utilities).
