Amy Coney Barrett is Trump’s SCOTUS nominee — here’s how the conservative, anti-choice Catholic became the president’s pick to fill the seat of late progressive champion Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a position that will shape decades of policy in America for generations to come.
In US news and current events today, Trump announced Amy Coney Barrett would be his nomination to fill the seat left open by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. At just 48 years-old, Barrett, a conservative anti-choice Catholic, will affect decades of policy in America for several generations to come. So who is she? Comedian Mia Jackson provides a little information about Trump’s third Supreme Court justice nominee. In 2017, Barrett was appointed by President Trump to serve as a United States Circuit Judge on the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. During her confirmation hearing, Senator Dianne Feinstein pointed to Barrett’s article which argued Catholic judges should recuse themselves in cases involving the death penalty and abortion.

Obama Proposes Cancelling White House's Cable to Get Trump to Leave
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—As Donald J. Trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transfer of power in January, former President Barack Obama suggested that cancelling the White House’s cable-TV account could induce the President to leave.
“This is a man who enjoys watching television,” Obama told reporters. “What if, on Inauguration Day, he picks up the remote and nothing comes on?”
“This seems like the most peaceful way to get him to go,” Obama said.
Obama also said that, in order to avoid a constitutional crisis, the White House’s supply of Diet Coke could also be cut off, but added, “I don’t think it will come to that.”
“Once it dawns on him that there’s no cable, his days will stretch out before him in a vista of emptiness,” Obama said. “No ‘Fox & Friends.’ No Tucker Carlson. And no Shark Week.”
“He’ll be on the next helicopter out,” Obama predicted.

Journalist Bob Woodward recounts how his new reporting and extensive interviews with Pres. Trump led him to conclude that Trump fails to grasp a fundamental truth: The “President has a moral responsibility to the larger public.” Instead, Woodward says Trump is “always thinking about himself” in how he makes decisions in office – a shortcoming that is more fundamental than any ideological or policy critiques of Trump.
Woodward also discusses why Jared Kushner likened surviving this White House to being the Cheshire Cat in “Alice in Wonderland,” and Trump’s reliance on former foe Lindsey Graham, in this interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. Aired on 09/25/2020.
