Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

I’m surprised Trump supports Hegseth since he doesn’t really hide the fact he’s an alcoholic. Trump hates alcoholics. He doesn’t respect them. He thinks they’re weak. Then again, Trump can barely remember what month it is most of the time. Maybe he’s forgotten what he THINKS! Nothing surprises me. 🤷‍♀️

Trump claims he is sending 1M $500 refund checks to people who were enrolled in Obamacare because they were overcharged. However, those people only live in red states or states where elections are close. Sounds like an effort to influence the election and an impeachable bribe.

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.
