The Editorial Board @editorialboard.bsky.social · 14h
I hope my observation catches on: We will see more of this, much more, after the midterms when two things happen: the crisis will get worse. Trump will get weaker, first gradually, then quickly. As a result of both, reporters will see both weakness & opportunity to look like they're getting tough.

Appeals court denies South Dakota’s defense of ban on abortion pill advertising
An appeals court shut down an attempt from South Dakota’s attorney general and governor to overturn a decision that blocks enforcement of a law that criminalizes abortion pill advertising in the state.Gov. Larry Rhoden and Attorney General Marty Jackley, both Republicans, filed the appeal in August after a lower court blocked enforcement of the law while a lawsuit over the law’s constitutionality played out.
