Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called on Democrats to reform the Supreme Court should they win a "trifecta in 2028" on Monday, calling it "a broken institution" that was causing "an untold amount of damage to the fabric" of the country, Mediaite reports.

Said Holder: "I think the reality is, and it pains me to say this, I think the Supreme Court is a broken institution and it's something that has to be, I think, a part of the national conversation in '26 and in '28. What are we gonna do about the Supreme Court?"

"We write to demand a bipartisan meeting of legislative leaders to end the GOP shutdown of the federal government and decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis," said the letter, signed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

Punchbowl News: "A high-stakes caucus meeting, set to begin shortly, is expected to reveal whether enough Democratic senators are willing to advance a bipartisan deal to reopen the government and vote on an Obamacare subsidies bill."

"That meeting will determine whether Senate Majority Leader John Thune decides to keep the chamber in session through the weekend. Thune said he'd need to see a path to begin voting within the next couple of days in order to keep senators here; otherwise, he could send everyone home for the weekend and return Monday."

A particularly intriguing element involves news operations. Warner Bros. Discovery's CNN could tap into resources from Paramount-owned CBS News, enabling shared reporting assets, bureaus, and talent pools. This synergy might amplify coverage capabilities, blending CNN's global breaking-news prowess with CBS's deep domestic journalism bench. While no formal restructuring details have emerged, the setup could yield cost savings and enhanced storytelling, though it raises eyebrows about editorial independence in an era of media convergence.

They make it sound so positive..

Every Republican who can find a camera is warning Democrats Mamdani will be "the face of the Democratic party" if he wins.

"With respect, Mr. President, pretty please, with sugar on top, back off this, because I don't think the Senate's going to go along, and I think it's just a needless fight," said Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) last month, urging Trump to end his demands for the Senate to eliminate the blue slip.

However, Trump did not end his campaign to terminate the Senate tradition, having suggested Grassley "must hate America" for his refusal to eliminate the Senate practice, calling him a "RINO," or "Republican in name only

when Trump's on the ballot, when Trump's team can get out there and get low-propensity voters -- because that's the difference now in modern politics -- when they can do it, they win. When he doesn't do it, they don't."

So when do republicans figure out this guy is the lamest duck in history and it's time to save yourself?

I think some will discover this fairly soon

The Trump brand is poison--and that should terrify the GOP

the death of local news and the polorization of the country has mad the old saying passe.  Thanks to Trump.

A US congressional panel investigating pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein has written to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly Britain's Prince Andrew, to ask that he submit to questioning as part of its investigation into Epstein's criminal operations.

Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, quickly went over to help the man, while Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran away from the scene.
