Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said Tuesday that the justices on the court "get along well" despite their differing viewpoints, while lawmakers are at odds over immigration and the Justice Department faces scrutiny over redacted Epstein files. The news comes as Senator Susan Collins announced her re-election bid and singer Chappell Roan parted ways with a talent agency.
Justice Jackson, speaking on "CBS Mornings" on February 10, 2026, emphasized the collegiality of the court, stating it is "a model for learning how to disagree without being disagreeable." She noted the justices "focus on our work" and "have learned how to adapt to being in an environment with people who have very strongly held but different views."
Meanwhile, lawmakers are facing a deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats rejected a counterproposal from Republicans regarding restrictions on President Donald Trump's immigration policies, according to ABC News. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats had presented a list of demands to Republican leadership over the weekend, but the GOP's counteroffer was rejected Monday night. Details of the counteroffer have not been made public.
In other political news, Senator Susan Collins announced her bid for a sixth term. The Maine Republican's re-election campaign is expected to be challenging and expensive, according to the NY Times. The seat is crucial for Democrats hoping to regain control of the Senate in the November midterm elections.
The Justice Department is also under scrutiny. US lawmakers accused the department of "inappropriately" redacting files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to BBC World. Members of Congress began reviewing the unredacted versions of the files on Monday. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna told MS NOW that the redactions were not in compliance with his law, as they were "scrubbed back in March by Donald Trump's FBI."
In a separate development, singer Chappell Roan announced she had left the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman, whose name appears in the Epstein files, according to BBC World. Roan stated she has a "duty to protect her team" and that her decision reflected her belief that "meaningful change in our industry requires accountability."
