( Fatih Aktas a nd Jeff Bottari)
By Jamilla Perritt| Since the election was decided in November, like many people, I have been paying close attention to the individuals selected for appointment by the incoming Trump administration.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Tune in for a new episode of Ms. magazine's podcast, On the Issues with Michele Goodwin on
Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In this episode, we continue to assess and reckon with the 2024 election results. How did abortion rights prevail, while anti-abortion lawmakers were elected in the very same states? What will a Trump administration mean for women’s rights, federal courts, agencies and throughout government? Are there any safeguards left as a check or restraint on abuse of office? And, what silver linings can we find among the election results?
We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
