On today's In the News roundtable, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how protesters took to the streets all throughout the last week in cities and towns across the country in outraged response to the Supreme Court’s draft ruling overturning Roe v.

The panel also discusses the latest updates on the war in Ukraine, elections in the Philippines and Northern Ireland, Amazon being challenged in the halls of Congress, and more.
