Oh Hi Go Vote

Donald Trump’s lawyers argued on Monday that prosecutors are infringing on Trump's First Amendment rights by asking him not to discuss the case over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. That comes after special counsel Jack Smith on Friday asked for a protective order that limits disclosure of discovery material in the case, and referenced Trump's incendiary social media post.

Ohioans head to the polls today to vote on a ballot measure that could make it harder to amend the state’s constitution. The outcome of Issue 1 could have a huge impact on voters' ability to enshrine abortion rights within their state’s constitution.

In headlines: the final sentence has been handed down in the murder of George Floyd, the leaders of eight South American nations meet today to protect the Amazon rainforest, and more than 11,000 Los Angeles city workers hold a 24 hours strike.

Plus, we talk to author Lydia Kiesling about her new book, Mobility.
