Samuel Alito Urged to Recuse Himself in 2020 Election Cases

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito should recuse himself from reviewing cases related to the 2020 election due to a resurfaced report, according to Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Illinois Democrat argued that rematerialized media reports of Alito flying an upside-down American flag at his Virginia home in January 2021 “clearly creates the appearance of bias.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) recommended Justice Alito apologize for “disrespecting” the US flag and “sympathizing with right-wing violent insurrectionists.” The White House did not take a position on the matter, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre telling reporters that “the conduct or recusing himself is something for the court to decide.”

Notable Quote: “Justice Alito should recuse himself immediately from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection, including the question of the former President’s immunity in U.S. v. Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court is currently considering,” Durbin said in a statement. “The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust.” Related: Justice Alito delivers outspoken defense of conservative court…

Donald Trump Agrees to More Debates – Biden Does Not

Former President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social that he agreed to a vice presidential debate and another presidential debate against President Joe Biden on NBC and Telemundo. The Biden-Harris campaign announced that they have agreed to a vice presidential debate on CBS on either July 23 or August 13. Still, the incumbent will only participate in the June debate hosted by CNN and the September one sponsored by ABC. Biden will not join Trump on the Fox News or NBC/Telemundo debates. Trump has proposed five debates: four presidential ones and a single vice-presidential.

Ready to Roll: “I have accepted a fourth Presidential Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, this time with NBC & Telemundo. It is important as Republicans that we WIN with our Great Hispanic Community, who Biden has devastated with Crippling Inflation, High Gas Prices, Crime in our Streets, and Border Chaos,” the presumptive Republican nominee said on social media. “This Fourth Debate will go along with our previously accepted Presidential Debates on CNN, ABC, and Fox. This is all in addition to our accepting an invitation from Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News to host the Vice Presidential Debate at Virginia State University, or another venue, in Virginia, to be named later. These are the Debates that Voters have been asking for, and these are the Debates that Voters will get!” Related: The presidential debates are on, but team Biden wants safety nets…

Mitt Romney Laughs Off ‘America First’ Term, Slams Growing Isolationism

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) laughs at the term “America first,” slamming the Republican Party’s populist streak and growing isolationism. Speaking in an interview with MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle, the two-time presidential candidate believes the GOP’s direction on foreign policy is “unimaginable,” arguing that America first emanates from talk radio and television. Romney does not consider the Republican Party’s new approach to international affairs will lead to a “safe and prosperous” world for US citizens.

A Romney Chuckle: “Many in our party have followed that populist streak, which is, ‘Hey, stop worrying about the rest of the world, just worry about what’s going on here.’ What they’re forgetting is that we are connected to the rest of the world, that our economy is connected to the rest of the world. That if we had had that attitude then, you know, Germany would’ve ended up ruling the world, all right,” he said. “We’re involved in the world out of our own self-interest, and I laugh at the phrase America first. I know it typically means isolationism, but really, America is putting ourselves first when we’re involved in the world, when we stop bad people.” Related: Mitt Romney all-in against Trump…

US Civil War Coming? Billionaire Ray Dalio Says 35% to 40% Chance

Wall Street billionaire investor Ray Dalio says the odds of the US plunging into a civil war are growing, claiming a 35% to 40% chance. Speaking in a recent interview with the Financial Times, Dalio believes the country is “now on the brink,” though he conceded that it remains to be seen “if we will cross over into much more turbulent times.” While he does not believe a modern-day civil war would consist of grabbing guns and shooting the enemy, Dalio thinks the nation would accelerate into further polarization, where people “move to different states that are more aligned with what they want.”

Sitting on the Sidelines: Dalio refused to back either former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden, choosing to compare the two 2024 candidates instead. “Trump will follow more rightist, nationalistic, isolationist, protectionist, nonregulatory policies — and more aggressive policies to fight enemies internally and externally, including political enemies. Biden, and even more so the Democratic Party without Biden, will be more the opposite, though they, too, will play political hardball,” he told the newspaper.

A Short-Lived Meme Stock Craze: GameStop Shares Tank 20%

Is it 2021 all over again? GameStop, a darling stock of the meme community, plunged 20% to close out the trading week as the video game retailer confirmed plans to sell additional shares and reported abysmal preliminary first-quarter results. According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory filing, GameStop says it will sell up to 45 million class A common shares, taking advantage of the massive two-day rally that saw shares spike more than 100%. Still, despite the selloff, GameStop finished the week up 27%.

No Profit in Sight: Michael Pachter, a Wedbush analyst covering the stock, does not believe it will be in a position to be profitable. “They made $6 million last year and burned cash,” Pachter said. “We expect them to lose $100 million a year going forward. It’s a race to see if they can close stores fast enough to limit losses, but they have no plan that would suggest they can grow revenues or profits, and their core business is in decline.” He maintained a price target of $7.
