🚨 Two more Americans are dead. An Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan killed 2 American service members, left 1 missing, and wounded 4 more, according to CENTCOM. That brings the toll in this war to 16 Americans dead and more than 430 wounded.

The upcoming elections to decide the balance of power in Congress and many state legislatures will be a major test of Trump’s appeal to voters two years after he resoundingly beat the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to return to the White House. With polls showing that the president is disliked by majorities of voters and his Republican allies are at risk of losing their control of the House of Representatives, the president’s Thursday evening speech rehashing allegations about the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden sparked fears he was already looking for ways to ensure November’s results are in his favor.

Has the Supreme Court ever previously struck down all or part of a duly-passed, constitutional law on the grounds that Justices feel like the law achieved its goals and feel like the goal would stay achieved without the law so therefore it shouldn’t be in force anymore? Because that’s legislative.
