A group founded by the billionaire Koch brothers is on a mission: to extend the massive tax cuts Trump instituted in his first term, and to convince working-class Americans that those cuts benefit them, too—despite ample evidence to the contrary.

Sixteen states currently have total abortion bans or ban care before most people realize they’re pregnant.
