Trump now says Republicans can vote to release the Epstein files.
He never urged Republicans to support the discharge petition. He never demanded Mike Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva. But now, after reports indicate 100+ GOPers are planning to support their release, he caves.

Think of it this way: CR tees up steep premium hikes for millions of middle-class families ahead of a midterm election that is already expected to go quite well for Democrats. Plus, Trump and the GOP have taken more of the blame for the shutdown (to say nothing of Trump’s high 30s/low 40s approval).

The funny thing is that on the WaPo site, if you click on the comments section, it gives you an AI-generated summary of people's responses that is basically like "They all disagree with the paper's right-wing turn"

“Democrats now have proof that campaigns grounded in affordability and competence can still unite the party’s fractious coalition — from democratic socialists in the nation’s biggest city to centrists in its quintessential suburbs."

Affordability, affordability, affordability: Democrats’ new winning formula
From a democratic socialist in New York to moderates in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats found success by focusing on the cost of living — not culture wars.

Roman Surovtsev is like many others who were detained at their regularly scheduled ICE check-ins. What makes his case different is that his wife has marshalled a team of lawyers on his behalf.
ICE tried to send one immigrant to a country he never lived in. Then he lawyered up.

What’s amazing about this is that it’s not activists, it’s random people in the street, dudes in trucks. They know who the villain is.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
