Elon Musk's $277M Political Influence: Funding Trump and the GOP

Elon Musk has been revealed as the sole funder of the RBG Pac, a political action committee that misleadingly suggested an alignment between Donald Trump and the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on abortion. Musk donated $20.5 million to the Pac, which ran ads and mailers during Trump's campaign. Ginsburg's granddaughter, Clara Spera, criticized the use of Ginsburg's name and image as misleading. Musk's political spending in the 2024 election cycle exceeded $260 million, with significant contributions to Trump and other political entities, positioning him for a role in the new administration.

"Debating Biden's Age: A Growing Concern for Democrats"

Democrats and Republicans are expressing concerns over President Joe Biden's age, with some drawing parallels to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's refusal to step down. Critics worry that Biden's age may hinder his ability to face off against Donald Trump in the upcoming election, and urge him to consider passing the baton to a younger candidate. However, finding a replacement for Biden poses challenges, and the impact of his age on voters remains uncertain. Meanwhile, some see the criticism of Biden's age as a distraction from Trump's own limitations, with both candidates facing scrutiny over their mental and physical fitness.

Honoring RBG in an Unrecognizable Supreme Court

Former clerks and colleagues of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg honored her at a memorial ceremony held at the Supreme Court, but little was said about how much the court has changed since her passing. The current conservative majority, including Ginsburg’s replacement, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, is working to reverse much of what Ginsburg stood for in areas such as reproductive health, voting rights, affirmative action, administrative law, and religious liberty. The court has seen its approval ratings plummet amid claims that it has become irreparably political. Ginsburg's legacy is being dismantled, and the court is considering whether to bar colleges and universities from taking race into consideration as a factor in admissions plans.

Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Supreme Court pays tribute.

The Supreme Court held a ceremonial session to honor the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was remembered as a champion for women's rights and a woman of conviction, courage, and quiet compassion. Ginsburg's death ahead of the 2020 election allowed then-President Donald Trump to fill her seat with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, giving conservatives a 6-3 majority on the bench. Ginsburg served as a justice for 27 years and was the Supreme Court's second female member. She was also remembered for her passion for opera and her commitment to getting things right and keeping them tight.
