## Resource

Hour 1 - Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner suspended his campaign Wednesday after a previous girlfriend accused him of sexual assault. A South Texas hospital that placed billboards in Mexico advertising “birth packages in South Texas” is now at the center of a state investigation for facilitating “birth tourism.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into the hospital Tuesday. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
