Getting trump to trial for Election Interference before hes the nominee almost certainly gone. Before the rnc convention, unlikely there ta. So what happens now . Plus, a horrific tragedy. At least 100 killed according to the health ministry, locals blame Israeli Forces for opening fire. What are the implications for the wider war, and what about the hostage deal that President Biden had suggested could be just days away .

Defense budget and Border Security. Sen mcconnell pharynx everyone. This has been an important day for america and a very important day for freedomloving countries around the world. Clearly on the ukraine portion of this, we had difficulty on the republican side. I think no democrats in the house voted against ukraine. I believe thats largely the case in the senate. But our problems didnt just arrive today. This current administrations decision to leave afghanistan was a huge mistake, like sending a green light to all of our adversaries. Second, the administration has not asked for a Defense Budget big enough to keep up with inflation so
Absence. The court does usually give an explanation for a justices absence. And weve also seen justices take part in arguments remotely when they are sick and the context here is not just the lack of transparency, but that it also comes just one week before the Supreme Court hears Oral Arguments on whether or not donald trump is protected from criminal prosecutions because a president ial immunity because he was president when the acts were committed. A case critics of thomas argue he should recuse himself from because of his wifes jeannies efforts to help trumps team overturn the 2020 election thomas is 75 years the most senior Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.
