Judges are playing a lynchpin role in upholding the nation's Constitution and laws in the face of Trump's manifest disregard for them. But six rightwing Supreme Court Justices are increasingly at odds with the rest of the judiciary, and are acting like Trump partisans, not judges

Trump continues to give Russia break after break and benefit of the doubt. This will encourage Russia to further escalate, knowing the US won’t step up and respond. “I’m not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation. But hopefully it’s going to come to an end.”

First, Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant. Now he says Trump “was the only one more than a decade ago willing to help prosecutors expose Epstein for being a disgusting child predator” So, how did Trump help prosecutors? What did Trump know from all his time with Epstein? wapo.st/46erJUZ
