Trump used to say we've spent too much on wars in the Middle East and we need to invest at home. But now he says we can't pay for daycare or Medicaid because of his Iran War. In November the GOP will desperately wish they hadn't supported this.

Can the Courts Rein Trump In? Fmr. White House Special Counsel Weighs In • John Harwood asks Norm Eisen whether the Supreme Court has enabled Trump’s lawlessness.
If the Epstein files feel incomplete, it’s because they are.
We still don’t have full transparency ... and absolutely no one deserves protection but the victims.
Who does DOJ think they're fooling?
The 3 MILLION Epstein files they're holding back r obviously full of stuff that should be turned over eg internal comms among Trump cronies
We have the receipts & lay them out in our complaint to OIG. @axios.com has the exclusive

Trump broke his promise to focus on deporting violent criminals. ICE is harassing innocent people instead.
ICE's billions in new funding came at the expense of health care, like Democrats from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to @aoc.bsky.social are pointing out
BREAKING: huge, gigantic, enormous win
SCOTUS allows our big victory at trial upholding the Prop 50 redistricting to remain in place

Talked with BBC about how it's good that Trump pulled back from what would be the worst real estate deal in U.S. history
But that it's a huge giveaway to our competitors when we tell allies we don't care if you've lost soldiers defending America
NEW: Trump wanted to be a dictator

“His biggest problem is that costs are continuing to go up, and he promised people they would go down, and whenever people see him creating some other kind of a problem, rather than buckling down and trying to un-break that key promise, they turn against him more,” says @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social.

Instacart illegally fired an employee for exercising her right to run for Congress as a Democrat, saying they were worried about how the Trump Administration would respond to her support for reproductive rights and gun reform. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
In the new Emerson poll in TN 07, 97% of Harris voters support Aftyn Behn (D) and 88% of Trump voters support Matt Van Epps (R). If that pattern holds across races in 2026 and there is a slight Democratic turnout edge, Democrats would be favored in any CD that Trump won by 12 points or less.

It’s remarkable how bad right-leaning polling has gotten for Trump. Cygnal and McLaughlin have sent big warnings about 2026. Echelon found him dropping 8 points. TIPP showed him losing 10. Now this - Fox has him dropping 9 points. No illusions now. They know they are in a bad place.

Wrote for @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy about how 2/3 of Trump voters agree w/ Democrats that he should not take health care from millions.
As polls get even worse for him, Trump should "admit he got this wrong, reach back out to Democrats and his own voters, and end his health care shutdown."
👀 Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with Republicans on Obamacare funding, saying she’s not a fan of the law but demands action to prevent a premium hike. “I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year.” She says GOP leaders don’t have a plan.
