MAGA abortion bans hurt men’s freedom, too

And in return to Butler, Trump leads moment of silence for slain July rally attendee [VIEW IN BROWSER]( MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news [VIEW IN BROWSER]( MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Sunday, October 06, 2024 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT [Alternate text] In a largely civil, policy-heavy debate hosted by CBS News, the vice presidential candidates, [Tim Walz and JD Vance](, clashed on Tuesday over [immigration](, [abortion](, [health care](, [the climate crisis]( and other topics. The Republican senator [avoided answering]( multiple questions, including whether he believes his running mate, former President Donald Trump, lost the 2020 election. Walz, meanwhile, brought his “Midwestern dad energy” to the debate stage, leading to [some criticism]( that the Minnesota governor was “too nice” to Vance. On the campaign trail, former Republican congresswoman [Liz Cheney]( joined Harris to urge voters to “reject the depraved cruelty of Donald Trump” at a campaign event Thursday in Ripon, Wisconsin, a town known as the birthplace of the Republican Party. And on Saturday, Trump and Vance held a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — a much-touted return to the site where the former president was shot in the ear by a [would-be assassin]( in July. The presidential contender led a [moment of silence]( for Corey Comperatore, the fire chief who was killed at the July rally. In the courts, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Wednesday [unsealed]( special counsel Jack Smith’s motion on presidential immunity in Trump’s federal election interference case. The redacted 165-page motion makes the case for why the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling doesn’t block Trump’s prosecution on multiple charges. Trump’s lawyers are [citing yet another]( Supreme Court ruling to help his defense in the case: Fischer v. United States. The devastating impacts of [Hurricane Helene]( continue to be felt throughout the southeastern U.S., with at least 223 people known to have died and hundreds still missing. President Joe Biden, Trump and Harris have all taken [trips to the region]( to tour storm damage. Elsewhere, thousands of longshoremen [went on strike]( Tuesday, shutting down ports across the East and Gulf coasts. The strike [ended in record time]( with major improvements won by the union. Amid ongoing border clashes with Hezbollah, Israel carried out [more strikes on Beirut]( this weekend. Lebanon's health ministry said more than 2,000 people have been killed since October, most of them in the last two weeks. Missed something? Don't worry.
