Republicans and Democrats offered competing visions for reproductive rights Friday as the anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision ending nationwide abortion access threw a spotlight on a polarizing issue sure to dominate the 2024 election.

Thousands of religious conservatives gathered for a two-day conference in Washington to hear Donald Trump's main rivals for the Republican presidential nomination try to outflank the frontrunner, who has been criticized for flip-flopping on his position.

Secret donors for the political movement that claims to be seeking a third party alternative for American voters have been revealed in a newly released published report.

Mother Jones reports that No Labels intends to raise some $70 million to potentially run a third-party “unity” ticket candidacy next year.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s supporters created a super PAC last month called "Heal the Divide," touting the 2024 presidential candidate as the only one who can "unite the Nation to start healing America."

But, while RFK Jr. is running as a Democratic, the PAC's founders have "deep ties" to far-right Trump-supporting Republicans, Rolling Stone reported.

CNN is reporting that special counsel Jack Smith has notched "at least two" immunity deals with people who served as fake electors for former President Donald Trump.

According to CNN's report, two fake Trump electors recently testified before a grand jury after they received guarantees of immunity against future criminal charges.

According to MSNBC analyst Bryan Tyler Cohen, Rep. Lauren Boebert's drive to launch impeachment hearings aimed at President Joe Biden is designed solely as a public relations stunt that she will use for fundraising -- but it could blow up in her face.

Noting her headline-making squabble on the House floor with fellow MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Cohen wrote that the two battling over who has the inside track of leading the Biden impeachment charge exposed them for who they are and what their motives are.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a victory for the Biden administration, on Friday upheld the federal government's right to decide which undocumented migrants should be targeted for deportation.

In an 8-1 vote, the nation's highest court ruled that the states of Texas and Louisiana lacked the legal standing to challenge the federal government's policy.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is under fire from cybersecurity experts after he dismissed the results of an audit that found bugs and vulnerabilities in the state's voting equipment, Politico reported Friday.

"In a letter sent to state lawmakers last week, Raffensperger argues that a newly unsealed audit finding that there are dangerous vulnerabilities in Georgia’s widely used voting machine software is overblown and no fixes are needed," reported John Sakellariadis. "'It’s more likely that I could win the lottery without buying a ticket' than that hackers flip enough votes to swing the election, he says in the letter."

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki took a few jabs at Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday over her House floor antics that led to a confrontation with fellow MAGA Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Discussing the altercation between the two where Greene called Boebert a "little b--ch," over a dispute over proposing impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden, MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire called what is going on within the GOP House caucus a "clown show."

That led co-host Joe Scarborough to add, "Jen Psaki, again, the chaos continues in the House. I can't help but think, at the end of the day, all this is going to do is damage the House candidates and turn the House back over to Democrats. "

"Well, exactly," the smiling Psaki replied. "I mean, in some ways, the White House and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee don't have to do much aside from get out of the way."

"As Jonathan just referenced, their entire message is competence versus chaos. As we just heard, kind of the outline from John Heilemann about the back-and-forth fight between Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, I mean, Lauren Boebert responded and said, 'I'm not in middle school.' It's like, are you sure you're not in middle school? That's how middle schoolers act, you know?" she laughed.

"If you're the American public sitting at home, you're thinking, 'what a waste of time, what a waste of my time that they are doing there," she added. "That is exactly the contrast that the White House, if you're sitting in the White House right now, my old colleagues there, if you're sitting in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and you're working with Democratic candidates, you're going to run on, 'We'll do something. We will fight for you the public. That is chaotic and crazy there, and we will not be that.'"

Republican hardliners in the House Freedom Caucus reportedly don't think Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is enough of a right-wing ideologue for their standards.

Politico reports that two Freedom Caucus members recently pushed for the group to start purging members who are inactive or who are too cozy with Republican leadership -- and that includes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has been accused by some on the right of cozying up to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) at the expense of her right-wing purity.

On Friday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough took aim at Republicans who continue to support Donald Trump despite his legal woes and evidence that he compromised national security with his treatment of stolen top secret documents.

Expressing both his disappointment and anger with the lawmakers the former Republican lawmaker singled out Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who served next to him in the House for his cowardice in not standing up to the former president and his fans.

"Take Lindsey Graham," Scarborough told co-host Mika Brzezinski. "I came in, in 1994 with Lindsey Graham. I considered Lindsey to be a friend of mine. Lindsey Graham, he supported Donald Trump through Donald Trump saying he wanted his attorney general to arrest Joe Biden and Joe Biden's family two weeks before the election. Supported him through all of that."

"Supported him through the first impeachment, where he held up money and defensive weapons to Ukraine, trying to get dirt on a political opponent," he continued. "Then on January 6th, January 7th, he opposed him. Then he was chased down in a national airport by three people and a hound dog and, suddenly, he went back to supporting the anti-democracy candidate."

'I think it is more than that," co-host Brzezinski interjected. "Knowing Donald Trump, it's more than that."

"No, it's not," Scarborough protested. "Everybody says it is more than that. It's not. It's not more than that. They're not scared of Donald Trump -- they're scared of their base. They're scared to be leaders. They're scared to stand up in a town hall meeting and tell people something that people may not want to hear; keep their head down and continue telling them that. They'll be surprised if they do that, what happens, but they never take that chance."
