Comedian Bill Maher explained during his show on Friday why he believed the Democratic Party was hemorrhaging voters — and he said it all came down to the fact that the people needed better lawyers. Maher listed several policy positions that the Democratic Party has pushed in recent years — from illegal immigration and universal income proposals to education and student loan forgiveness — and explained how their positions were actively driving people away from the party.

How Supreme Court conservatives are reshaping Americans’ rights
When the Supreme Court handed down its ruling overturning Roe v. Wade , ending constitutional protections for abortion, there was anger (one protester said, "America is not ready for what's about to happen with the fall of Roe"), and there was also celebration ("Hallelujah," said Republican Congresswoman Mayra Flores. "I woke up praying for this"), as the seismic shift in American life set in. Outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, one protester said, "I'm 21, and I'm terrified." CBS News poll: Most Americans disapprove overturning Roe v. Wade, call it step backward Thousands gather for pro-abortion rights protests across U.S. ("CBS Saturday Morning") With Roe v. Wade overturned, which states would restrict or protect abortion rights? Calling Roe "egregiously wrong from the start," Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the 5-4 majority , turned abortion policy back to the States.

Expectations negative as views of economy, finances worsen — CBS News poll
Americans' assessments and outlook for the economy are poor, with most anticipating at least a slowdown, if not a recession, in the coming year. On a personal level, views on their own finances are down from a year ago, and many voice concern about the ability to afford things, or to save, going forward. It's an important sentiment because Americans' views on spending can in turn impact the economy. On a brighter note, however, feelings about job security remain relatively more confident by comparison. Current assessments of the national economy are getting worse. Just 22% think it's good — down even further from 26% in May — while the percentage saying it's "bad" has gone up to 75% — a new high for the Biden presidency. That is a 12-point rise since April.

MARGARET BRENNAN: California congressman Pete Aguilar is a member of the January 6 Select Committee and he joins us from New York. Good morning to you, Congressman. REP. PETE AGUILAR: Good morning, Margaret. MARGARET BRENNAN: We also heard sworn testimony that the former president spoke to the Justice Department and Homeland Security about seizing voting machines. There was testimony this week that a Pentagon official and the Defense Secretary, the Acting Defense Secretary, were chasing a conspiracy theory about Italian satellites changing votes. These are outrageous ideas. But- but how far did this actually get? REP. AGUILAR: Well, I think what the- the testimony, and- and what we have laid out clearly indicates that the President, you know, knew he lost the election. And then he continued to gravitate to these conspiracy … [Read more...] about Transcript: Rep. Pete Aguilar on “Face the Nation,” June 26, 2022
