1. Susan Collins will not vote to confirm Trump's pick to fill Justice Robert Kennedy's vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court if the nominee has displayed "hostility" toward Roe v. Wade. "A candidate for this important position who would overturn Roe v. Wade would not be acceptable to me," Collins said, "because that would indicate an activist agenda that I don’t want to see a judge have." Collins is considered a moderate Republican Senator, and she could end up being the deciding vote in the upcoming confirmation hearings. (New York Times / ABC News)

And here's Trump's tweet from Wednesday: "HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE."

  5. The White House is walking back Trump's call for Saudi Arabia to "increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels" per day to make up for decreases in production by Iran and Venezuela.

  7. Podcast host John "Stuttering John" Melendez managed to trick Trump into calling into him from Air Force One by telling the White House switchboard operator that he had Sen. Bob Menendez on the line for him. The radio shock jock and comedian claimed to represent the Democratic senator from New Jersey and said he had an urgent legislative matter to discuss. The result was a six-minute phone conversation between Stuttering John and the President of the United States aboard Air Force One, during which they talked about immigration and the Supreme Court. The White House has since launched an internal investigation into how the comedian was able to get through to Trump so easily. (New York Times / Stuttering John Podcast) / The Hill)
