Two separate, controversial Idaho laws have landed in front of the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court this year: the state’s total ban on abortion, and its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. As he prepared to defend both, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador (R) sought help from lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a controversial, far-right Christian group.

It was an emotional evening for Jennifer Grey after the 63-year-old Dirty Dancing star was given the honor of presenting her father, Joel Grey, with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 Tony Awards.
Theater fans were shocked to see that the touching moment was not featured during the main broadcast of the annual Broadway awards show, but rather was shown in the live pre-show, which exclusively played on Pluto TV.
Jennifer began her tribute, joking, “Hi, friends of my dad. I’m Joel Grey’s daughter, my name is Jennifer.”

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts threw a little shade at the President Trump on Wednesday afternoon, criticizing the politicization of the federal judiciary. “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” the George W. Bush appointee said in a statement to the Associated Press. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. The independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

President Donald Trump laced into Cecilia Vega on Monday after the ABC reporter attempted to ask a question during a Rose Garden press conference, prompting accusations of sexism.
“She’s shocked that I picked here. She’s, like, in a state of shock,” Trump chuckled after he called on her.
“I’m not, thank you Mr. President,” she said.
“That’s Ok. I know you’re not thinking. You never do,” the president responded.

Gop Candidate Slammed for Saying Florida Shouldn’t ‘Monkey This Up’ by Electing First Black Governor
Florida’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis opened up his first full day on the campaign trail for the state’s highest office by warning voters not to “monkey this up” by electing his Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum — the first African American person to be nominated for governor by a major party in the sunshine state.
“We’ve gotta work hard that we continue Florida going in a good direction, lets build off the success we’ve had on governor Scott,” DeSantis told Sandra Smith on Fox News Wednesday morning. “The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state.”
The comments were immediately seized upon online, where they whipped around Twitter with many saying the racial implications were unavoidable.

Remember back in 2016 when that group of ranchers occupied a wildlife refuge in Oregon for 40 days? They were doing it to protest a prison sentence that had been handed down to Dwight and Steven Hammond, a father and son who in 2012 were convicted of setting fire to federal land. On Tuesday, President Trump pardoned both men, primarily on the grounds that they are “respected in their community.”

Every so often, we hear about the viewing habits of former presidents. Jimmy Carter watched hundreds during his one term in office, and Bill Clinton once told Roger Ebert that “the best perk of the White House is not Air Force One or Camp David or anything else, it’s the wonderful movie theater I get here.” Donald Trump is better known for watching hours and hours of cable a day — especially “Fox & Friends,” apparently his favorite show — but last night he made time for a musical.
