Inside Four Abortion Clinics the Day Roe Ended
This episode contains strong language and mentions sexual assault. The Supreme Court decision on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade sent abortion clinics into a tailspin. That day Rosenda, a receptionist at a family planning clinic in Arizona, spent eight hours on the phone telling women the clinic could no longer help them. “I wanted to hug her, I wanted to help her but I know I can’t,” she said of one patient she called. “I wanted to scream.” In the hours after the decision, we spoke to clinic doctors and staff members trying to make sense of the news.

The Sunday Read: ‘How Houston Moved 25,000 People From the Streets Into Homes of Their Own’
Michael Kimmelman, the architecture critic of The New York Times, traveled to Houston to observe an approach to chronic homelessness that has won widespread praise. Houston, the nation’s fourth-most populous city, has moved more than 25,000 homeless people directly into apartments and houses in the past decade, an overwhelming majority of whom remain housed after two years. This has been achieved through a “housing first” practice: moving the most vulnerable from the streets directly into apartments, instead of shelters, without individuals being required to do a 12-step program, or to find a job. Delving into the finer details of the process, Kimmelman considers the different logic “housing first” involves. After all, “when you’re drowning, it doesn’t help if your rescuer insists you learn to swim before returning you to shore,” he writes. “You can address your issues once you’re on land. Or not. Either way, you join the wider population of people battling demons behind closed doors.” This story was written and narrated by Michael Kimmelman.

Special Episode: Roe v. Wade Is Overturned
This episode contains strong language. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a ruling that eliminates women’s constitutional right to abortion after almost 50 years. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote on behalf of the majority, while President Biden has denounced the court’s action as the “realization of extreme ideology.” In this special episode, we explore how the court arrived at this landmark decision — and how it will transform American life.

For one big idea on the news each week from our team, subscribe to our newsletter.  Background reading:  Read the majority decision that overruled Roe v. Wade, with notes by New York Times reporters.

Privately, the former president has called the reversal of Roe “bad” for the Republican Party. Abortion is now banned in several states, with trigger laws in others set to take effect in the coming days. See where women would be most affected.

How Biden’s Approval Rating Got So Low
During his campaign for president and in his first year in office, Joe Biden tried to be all things to all people. But trying to govern on behalf of such a broad political coalition has left his administration with something of an identity crisis.

Senator Chris Murphy on the Bipartisan Gun Safety Deal
The Senate has reached a bipartisan deal that could lead to the most significant federal response to gun violence in decades.

The Sunday Read: ‘The “E-Pimps” of OnlyFans’
Ezra Marcus takes a deep dive into the world of OnlyFans and self-described e-pimps, and untangles the vast web of models, agencies and “chatters” (the people who often act as the OnlyFans models in private messages with the customers) that support these lucrative businesses. The article explores how e-pimps can help turn a seemingly simple exchange of “dollars for sexts” into a transaction that extends across layers of third-party intermediaries. With the help of e-pimps, even the most impersonal of transactions are fine-tuned to feel personal. As Mr. Marcus discovers: “That OnlyFans creator you’re DMing? It’s probably a marketing ghostwriter impersonating a woman.” When it comes to OnlyFans and its legions of e-pimps, deceit and desire work together closely. This story was written by Ezra Marcus and recorded by Audm. To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android.

After a series of deadly mass shootings in the United States, the National Rifle Association and some Republican leaders and conservatives are pointing to mental illness.
