States face off over abortion pills (Sept. 9, 2025)

On Tuesday's show: We learn how Texas and other states are facing off in the fight over access to abortion pills. New York's attorney general says she will intervene in a legal fight related to the Texas ban on those pills. Texas Tribune reporter Alex Nguyen explains what's going on.

Also this hour: We learn what lessons the deadly crowd rush at the 2021 Astroworld festival can teach us. That event is highlighted in Edward Segal’s newly published Crisis Casebook.

Then, we consider what it costs to become a U.S. citizen in both time and money as we talk with immigration attorney Ruby Powers and Cesar Espinoza of FIEL Houston.

And David Sarkozi of the Texas Ornithological Society talks about his new guidebook, Birds of Texas.
