I wrote about feeling crazy that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives didn't address any of Taylor Frankie Paul's domestic violence cases and what it means for the show to continue platforming her @rewirenewsgroup.com rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/09/18/m...

Why Did ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ New Season Dodge Allegations of Star’s Domestic Violence?
Analysis: Fans expected the show, which long embraced controversy and difficult conversations, to address the disturbing allegations against Taylor Frankie Paul. Instead, it delivered a nothingburger.

Oral arguments began today in a federal court case that may upend abortion access nationwide. Louisiana, which has an abortion ban, wants the FDA to stop allowing the abortion pill mifepristone to be prescribed remotely and dispensed by mail or at a pharmacy. Imani Gandy explains the stakes:
