Hey, from CNN, I'm a FOMA DK with the five things you need to know for Thursday, September 10th. The Supreme Court has rejected a bid to use a Republican-friendly congressional map in Missouri. The plan could have given the GOP an extra seat in the House of Representatives. CNN's John Fritzy is with us. Hey, John, does this have any impact on Republicans heading into the midterms, considering that they've already drawn nine more seats in their favor than Democrats? Well, look, it has an impact in the sense that it's one less seat Republicans can eek out of this highly unusual, mid-decade redistricting. Now, how big a deal that is, of course, we won't know until November. But, FOMA, you know, this appears to have been a pretty easy case for the Supreme Court, which is now twice rejected this effort by Missouri. The speed of this decision, the fact that there really was no explanation, there's no descent. Those are all signs that the justices just didn't take Missouri's legal arguments all that seriously, and really time is running out for the state Republicans to keep fighting this,

even though at this point we should know we haven't seen a concession from state officials that this fight is actually over. Well, day two of the GOP midterm convention in Dallas is in full swing, and one subject that is still buzzing from opening night Wednesday is President Donald Trump's keynote address, where he promised to give Americans $5,000 if Republicans keep their house in Senate majorities this fall. Trump didn't give details on how he would pay for such a move. Although Vice President JD Vance suggested that Teraf Revenue could cover the payments, but in an interview with Fox News, Trump seemed to acknowledge that those dividends would need congressional approval, saying he couldn't distribute the money immediately because Democrats would object. Because with them it's negative growth with us, it's so positive. In a video posted on the White House's ex account, Trump also said he would distribute $500 rebate checks to nearly 1 million affordable care act in Roles in 30 states. It comes at a time when

many Obama care in Roles are struggling to maintain their coverage or have dropped their policies after congressional Republicans allowed the enhanced ACA premium subsidies to expire at the end of last year. Iran-Bat-Tootley fighters captured Yemen's key red sea port of Mocha today. It could potentially expand Tehran's influence over another key Middle Eastern waterway. The news sent shockwaves across the world over the potential impact on global shipping. CNN's Nick Robertson says Yemen's government has been appealing to the US for support. I spoke with the Information Minister of Yemen and it from the international recognized government and he said Mocha has changed hands. The hooth is habit is very sad. He said because of the suffering that that's going to bring to the people there. And I heard from another source as well who was involved in trying to sort of help in the defense of Mocha and he said, look, we were speaking to Senkhan in the US about the situation on the ground. Speaking directly, this source said to Admiral Cooper trying to get the US attention. He said

several days before Mocha fell about what was happening. And he said, you know, he was being told from US officials that the Saudis are watching, the US is watching and there'll be Saudi air support and he said, that didn't come. The move further adds volatility to the oil markets. Global oil prices jumped to $108 a barrel for the first time since May. Coming up, a legendary dress returns to auction. So if I got news for your ears, the podcast, I am your host, Michael E. in Black. Let's get into it. We're talking about New America and Donald Trump's Labor Day tweet storm and Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcoff's magical musical piece. The brain trust. The brain trust. Chip and Dale.

Today, Lindsey Clancy's defense team filed a motion to a voter retrial. They say the judge should determine that prosecutors didn't present enough evidence that Clancy had the mental capacity to be criminally responsible for the killing of her three young children in 2023. CNN has reached out to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office for comment on the motion. Clancy's triple murder trial ended in a mistrial, leaving her fate in limbo after five grueling weeks of testimony and 38 hours of jury deliberations. Nick Dargy, a juror in the case, told Good Morning America he was frustrated with the deliberations and the holdout juror, who at one point he says mimicked the strangulations with Clancy's exercise ban from the evidence bag and a water bottle. Dargy caught the parent mimicking of the strangulations disgusting. He explicitly said, you know, I don't know if the prosecution or the defense proved their case. I think if they tried the trial again, the way they did, I think nine times at a 10. I think a jury would come back with not guilty by reason

and I don't know what's sad. In an interview with CNN yesterday, Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington seemed willing to cooperate with D.A. Timothy Cruz to reach a plea deal, though he insisted that he wouldn't agree to any deal where his client would serve jail time. Princess Diana's so-called revenge dress is going up for auction for the first time in nearly 30 years. The black evening gown which broke royal protocol and created a sensational pop culture moment will be displayed in a London exhibit this month before heading to Hong Kong, Geneva, and finally New York, where it's expected to sell for up to $300,000 when it goes under the hammer in December. At the time, black was only considered appropriate for royals during funerals. The late princess of royals wore the dress to a party on June 29, 1994. The same day when her then-husband now King Charles III admitted in a documentary that he had been unfaithful. The sub-biz said the dress was last sold in June 1997 when Diana auctioned 79 of her dresses to raise money for breast cancer and age charities. It then appeared at charity fundraiser events in Scotland before it was

last seen on display at the country's Paisley Museum nearly three decades ago. That as a for us, we're back tomorrow morning. I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, host of the Chasing Life Podcast. Last week, there was this important report that dropped that I think got a lot of attention. It's about football and there was this new study in the British Medical Journal, which estimates that of all the NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021, about 878 players, at least 25% of them had confirmed CTE. That is the disease that is caused by repetitive hits to the brain. So, CNN's resident NFL veteran, Koi Wire, he called me, we called fellow CNN sports anchor Andy Scholes, and we were talking about it. I know as a former player anytime I forget my keys. If I get a slight headache, it pops in my head. I'm thinking like, man, I hope this is just

Andy, do you forget your keys? Oh, dear, yes, all the time Koi, make me feel better. I'm sorry. Listen to Chasing Life streaming now, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Anderson Cooper. On my podcast, all there is, we explore grief and loss in all its complexities. My guess on the podcast is NASCAR Champion and Hall of Famer Kurt Busch. He's grieving the recent death of his younger brother, NASCAR Champion Kyle Busch. I'm trying to grieve in ways to help people. I'm like, mom, my dad, I try to do it where I'm not biting off more than I can chew and then back off a bit and trying to help everyone get through this and share stories. It's not going to get any easier, but time will help heal. I have a nice therapist that I worked with towards the twilight of my career. His therapy helped. It has. I embraced it a few years back, whereas the younger teenager, 20-year-old, 30-year-old, nah. Talking grief, building community, that's what the podcast is all

about. This is all there is. Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.
