Can I just point out that the “Young Republicans” who have had their vile racist and misogynist chat group leaked are not “young” - they are 18-40 year olds! As a 44 year old, I can attest to the fact 40 is not young! These ADULTS are revolting - MAGAesque.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.
But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire (at least for now) the three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's unconstitutional?

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.
