We discuss a new refrain that pushing for a return of pandemic mitigations is "moralizing" even as the BA.5 wave takes hold. But first, we check in on the Biden administration's inability to meet the moment on abortion rights, and one official's claim that codifying Roe is something for "activists who have been consistently out of step with the Democratic Party."
