About this episode

On today’s Sup podcast, Alise and Amanda recap a truly whirlwind Supreme Court term, from today’s mixed ruling on Trump’s tax returns to this week’s disappointing decision to allow your boss to decide if you can have birth control.

And how will these rulings impact the November election?
