Hey, good morning, everybody. I'm Mark Calperin, host of NextUp with Mark Calperin. Filling in today for Megyn Kelly. It's Wednesday, July 15th, 2026. And this is your AM update.
Many of us, me included, have received threatening anonymous deliveries designed to intimidate and harass us.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan making a rare appearance on Capitol Hill urging Congress to approve a larger court budget as threats against the justices grow more personal, more frequent, and increasingly dangerous. Lindsey Graham's sister sworn into his Senate seat carrying forward the work of the brother who raised her.
If you're somebody that seems to go into salad bars on a weekly basis, just give that a rest for a week or two.
A fast-growing parasite outbreak sickening thousands across more than 30 states as health experts warn Americans to rethink what they eat until investigators find the source and a massive heat dome baking much of the country with record temperatures threatening millions from coast to coast.
Why are Supreme Court justices asking Congress for more security funding?
All that and more coming up on your AM Update.
We wouldn't be celebrating America 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set by the framers. Hamilton built America's financial foundation on the principle of sound, stable money, a principle later embodied by the gold standard. However, we abandoned that discipline in 1971 and have seen inflation erode the dollar's value ever since. What's the foundation of your savings? Is it gold? Is gold even in there?

Text MK to the number 989898.
Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan, a liberal, and Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative, making a rare appearance on Capitol Hill yesterday, testifying before separate House and Senate panels as the high court seeks a roughly 10% budget increase amid a surge of threats against judges. the court requesting $228 million for the next fiscal year, including $14.6 million to expand the teams assigned to protect each justice and their families. Nearly 400 federal judges facing threats last year, with another 276 targeted during the first half of this year, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. The danger becoming frighteningly real in June of 2022, when a California man traveled across the country to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Maryland neighborhood, intending to assassinate him.
Nicholas Roski, arriving near the justice's home with a Glock handgun, ammunition, a tactical knife, zip ties, pepper spray, and burglary tools, before calling 911 himself and surrendering to police. Roski pleading guilty last year to attempted murder, admitting he was angered by the leaked draft opinion, signaling the court was prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Abortion rights! Abortion rights!
How did Justice Amy Coney Barrett describe the security risks to her family?
The leak triggering weeks of demonstrations in the spring of 2022 with pro-abortion activists gathering outside the Supreme Court and repeatedly protesting near the private homes of conservative justices. Justice Kagan telling members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee the Supreme Court police force is now preparing for another dramatic increase in threatening activity.
Our respective departments' growing needs are obvious given current conditions. The Capitol Police Chief recently testified that threats against Congress are up 50% this year. The Supreme Court Police expect a smaller but still very substantial 38% annual increase in threats this year, which follows a 25% increase last year. For some of us, those threats have come very close, and all of us live with the knowledge that they may again materialize.
