abortions, intentional abortions , saying the reversal of roe was a great triumph, but we do very much phase of one in our movement. the fda has approved mythic kristen for the last 23 years. how is it that one person one judge with no medical degree, no science degree can make a decision about a drug that has been used. it has been safe. and proven effective. women have the right to have abortions and you can't turn the rights around. it's not okay. the future of the abortion drug well, then likely rest in the hands of the supreme court. critics say this decision will likely go beyond abortion. they believe it could motivate conservative conservatives to challenge other fda approved drugs and vaccines. alright, soren, thank you for that update. we're staying with politics. but now to the three tennessee lawmakers who face an

places. i think everyone deserves a chance to tell their story. no one should be stopped from that. it's not about promoting a specific point of view. it's all about giving a chance to a person to tell a story from their side. as the director points out. the controversy in pakistan comes at a time when censorship of lgbt q plus content in the u. s is growing. i think easier to understand pakistan. if you think of it, not as a country that's two different from america. finally enough. i mean , the drag soldiers are banned in tennessee. i think this is the part of, uh, storytelling that helps us connect with people from around the world. wherever we are. connecting people is why she says she wants to continue backing meaningful stories. it's really challenging to change perspectives, and for that, you need to, um really try other means, including making movies and tv shows and documentaries and ah, comedies

and it you know, it does not really need to be a serious, um , documentary about a specific topic. it can be funny. it can be entertaining. it can have jokes. but behind all of those conversations is something that connects to, uh, with those people that you see on the screen. there's something in common. and joycelyn achieves that goal. you guys, i saw this movie a few months ago to screening. i got there a few minutes late, and there was not a seat left in that theater. there is just so much buzz and excitement about this island is now playing in new york and around the country on the 21st looking forward to that end, doreen early bird gets the worm . mm hmm. thank you so much agree with that. alright now we're going to send it back to samara for another check of the weather morning. hey, johnny. hey, team and good morning. new london. etiquette the sun rising in the eastern sky before it dies in the west. we are looking at temperatures around 50 degrees today, which is great news for the yukon basketball team victory parade today taking

thanks for having me. absolutely so these recipes are all on our website right now, if you scan that qr code on the screen that we're going to have in just a moment, all baked on sheet pans so they can cook up quick. we're starting with eggs and pancakes. what's the first step for the for either of those recipes? yes so the first step in doing any kind of sheet pan recipe is really using some perch. mint paper. this is going to save you so especially for eggs, something that can stick to even the skillet when you're making them so i have my parchment paper here. you want to go up on the edges, but here's the trick . spray the baking sheet with some cookies right? then put the parchment down and do another spray. that's going to hold it down there. then you put her eggs and i was making my eggs with a little bit of milk. and the same process with the pancakes. however with the pancakes, i always do butter instead of cooking spray, because what that does when you put it in the oven because that's how we're cooking is right in the oven. and when you do that it creates that sort of round of butter taste that you get from the skillet that you

don't want to lose that when you're in the oven, so i like doing butter for that. and then with great about this is that you can customize them as you like. so, for instance, when you're on, you know, doing this on the stove and customizing them for everybody. everybody's eating before you want to do the same time as everybody else, and i find that to be highly unfair. so what you can do is youan tulyection these off the toppin let's say somebody doesn't like chocolate. that is not anybody in my house. everyone here and then pick them up and they are great and you can eat them all together. it's so fun. okay maria, so your last recipe. it's one of the kids are gonna love. that's why we're eating this already. we have the store bought versions here, but you're making some homemade toaster pastries, which i wish we could try here. i know kids and kids at heart, right? so yeah, it all starts with some some pie dough. you can make your own from scratch. i'm a friend, scratch girl, but i'm not gonna judge you if you get some from the store, but the key to this is rolling out. you're having your parchment paper set

and then rolling out pie dough and cutting it into a large rectangular shape then i put in some jelly, but you could do any kind of really, really that you like and then topped this with another sheet of the pied a boom and then you just use the fork to create those little lines and poke some holes. and then once it comes out, it's gonna look beautiful like that, and you're done. look at that. that's amazing. thank you. so much for this. we're all going to be making those those toaster pastries appreciated and get that recipe on our website and we'll be right back here on g m a. here we go. okay? everyone can be an american idol this season. the best is yet to come. american idol new sundays on abc. dan ashley, are you ready to rock the cost of the help children in need? my annual charity concert for kids is back
