new reporting on the judge in the mar-a-lago documents case. new questions about whether she should step aside as the 11th hour gets underway on this thursday night. good evening once again. i m stephanie ruhle and we are now 138 days away from an election in which abortion is set to play a defining role. and now democrats on capitol hill have a new focus when it comes to safeguarding abortion access. which they believe will be at risk if donald trump returns to the white house. they are ramping up efforts to reveal the comstock act. this has been on the books 150 years. it is related to materials being sent by mail that are connected to abortion. it is often referred to as a zombie law because it remains on the books though it hasn t been enforced in decades. the democratic senator tina smith who is cosponsoring the bill to repeal it warns it could be used under trump to crack down on abortion access or ban it altogether. we have seen a full on attack on women and their
in the army to bey, apolitical, but the events concerning the january 6 riot changed me considerably, we cannot afford to be apolitically, i was republican my entire life, voted as such as such, never was active until 2016 when trump took the election, it s now overcome with cowardous but i took an oath to the country i would support the united states constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and those i work with closely were tremendously concerned about the threat internally, the threat domestically, within the military in particular. so we needed to start taking actions now to prevent for the
be her future. kyung law, cnn, montana. thanks, kyung. if you re looking for a new book, check out jake tapper s new novel the devil bay dance. i m kate bolduan. ac 360 starts now. good evening. we begin tonight with what happened when courage is called for but cowardous answers. in the chamber over run by a violent mob, senate republicans blocked the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate that attack. the bill actually got far more yes than no votes. 54 versus 35. but under the rules of the senate, 35 trumps 54 and 60 votes are needed for most bills to pass, which means minority party can block nearly anything even a bill like this one to investigate the attack that sent many of the same senators who voted no today into hiding.
that people will say that this toy, this gun, this thing i go to the gun range with, really cannot be more important than the lives of a child? yeah, i would go a step further and say we re not at the stage of possibility but the stage of probability. emma gonzalez s silence is commendable. the silence we hear from mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and other people is cowardous. and i think these kids have done a great job of calling that out. i think we re going to see it come november. i hope a blue wave for lack of a better term, some people have used. because i think to jonathan s point and to your point, people are at their wits end, and they re not going to they re not going to stand by and take this kind of apathy any more from politics. and they have brought the nation to a screeching halt. and made everybody stand still and look at the nation around us. and i think why people salivate over everything that president barack obama says, because he draws such a stark contrast
being fired, was flown back on a government plane. i guess he was supposed to find himself an airplane home. to what degree is it normal for the president to have this sort of involvement and/or contact with the fbi? it s bizarre. i mean, from the get go, a real man would fire the fbi director to his face. he is the president of the united states. he can get ahold of the fbi director whenever he wants. he sent over a courier to fbi headquarters and didn t know are the director was. it is cowardous. usually the channel is up to the white house. hey, we have an emergency. we re doing this investigation. those sorts of interactions. this is the first time i m aware of where the white house tends to call the doj and fbi more than the reverse. it is an odd precedence. it really shows that the trump administration doesn t understand that law enforcement, the rule of law, the department of justice, should set independent so they can be unbiased in these
