JUST IN: The D.C. Circuit rules 2-1 that the Trump administration may not implement a new system for states to bulk search DHS and Social Security data to verify voter citizenship.

Voting rights groups say the system is fraught with errors. https://t.co/rNxaU6bQg9

Ceasefire on Texas Senate Race

GOP Strategist Bryan Lanza (@bclanza): "We're petrified. I think we're going lose Texas. We nominated a bad candidate."

@ChuckRocha: "James Talarico is a good candidate for this time and this place."

Ossoff: I want to remind you that my opponent, the bigot Congressman Mike Collins, is under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars. 

It’s now been one week since I demanded that Mike Collins commit to testifying in this probe, which he has stonewalled and obstructed, according to the Office of Congressional Conduct. 

My pursuit of this commitment from Mike Collins was interrupted by the recent revelation of yet another Nazi sympathizer in the congressman’s staff. 

Today, I am restating my demand that Congressman Mike Collins commit to testifying in the ongoing federal investigation of his office’s illegal misuse of tax dollars.

JUST IN: Judge Chutkan orders the Trump admin to provide 48 hours’ notice before doing any work on President Trump’s proposed arch.

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

"[T]he court finds [...] that immediate implementation of the Final Rule issued less than seventy days before the November 2026 election threatens disenfranchisement of millions of United States citizens who seek to vote by mail."

Beat the heat! Light colored clothing makes a big difference in the direct sunshine. For example, under conditions where a white shirt heats up to 88°, a black shirt reaches 115°. Look at the thermal imaging, yellow is a good second choice, not much else is.

"The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections"

A simple point by Judge Talwani in granting an injunction blocking Trump's mail-in voting power grab.

[Lisa Rubin @lawofruby]

NEW: Judge Indira Talwani issues a 49-page preliminary injunction opinion indefinitely blocking implementation of the USPS mail ballot rule for this election cycle. Theoretically, this moots the USPS's existing SCOTUS application, which is aimed at her prior temporary restraining order.

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

BREAKING: Judge Talwani issues a preliminary injunction blocking USPS from implementing portions of its new mail ballot rule.

In doing so, she also has dissolved the TRO that was previously in place — so any appeals will begin anew.

VICTORY: a judge just SHUT DOWN Trump's illegal mail voting rule

Seniors, veterans & military families keep their ballots. NO CHAOS before Nov 3

His order was illegal--The court's isn't

How our president speaks, acts, and presents America to the world matters.

And right now, our president is not projecting the seriousness, strength, or leadership the office demands.

JUST IN: A judge rejects the Trump administration’s lawsuit against New Jersey, finding that Gov Sherrill’s restrictions on immigration enforcement in some state-run spaces is not a violation of the Supremacy Clause. https://t.co/I16ZkzHXEp

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

A DC judge grilled Feds about why they want the option to recharge former Olympian David Hearn despite admissions gutting the case.

Asked whether the US Attorney’s office is probing Hearn now, a prosecutor said no — but that could change “10 minutes from now.” https://t.co/ZERYzeHmx6

Trump claimed from WH today that MAGA Inc. has $1 billion at its disposal.

GOP members, donors & allies, however, are skeptical the money is coming.

It has not committed money to its GOP House candidates with 60 days left. And Senate candidates wait.

New --> MAGA Inc. & Elon have established an arrangment to spend big on 2 Senate races to start.

1) MAGA Inc. to aid Whatley with sizable $$ in North Carolina.
2) America PAC to handle most of spending in Texas for Paxton.

Trump is now musing about what it would mean to end all trade with countries, including Switzerland and Canada (the top source of US oil imports).
