Trump says he’s fine with “temporarily withdrawing” Todd Blanche’s name for attorney general “and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.” Says Blanche will remain as acting regardless.

It's not often that @seanspicer @danturrentine & I all agree.

But on Trump Admin cutting Medicare Part D benefits for seniors -- just weeks before the midterms!!! -- we're all on same page:

Political malpractice

* Vendors asked not to send bills to mask $ woes

Leaks, debt, paranoia and much more w/ Reid Epstein https://t.co/DDEB6JGg8A

The amount of complaining by Dems abt Ken Martin in my X thread is 🫪

But this has happened before -- and DNC members have stuck with him, in part bc of the $ he's given to state parties.

Will this week be any different ?

Yikes

Incredible reporting from @ec_schneider and @JasJWright, kicking off with the DNC putting its HQ building up for collateral to obtain a loan last year: https://t.co/doXRqHzYJp

Reminds me of the time he rolled his eyes at biden then apparently apologized to him for doing so.

Great headline.

If Johnson is using the s-word he has reached his limit!

[Reese Gorman @reesejgorman]

New: Last week, right off the House Floor, Mike Johnson's frustrations with the rebels who delve the House into chaos boiled over.

During a heated discussion with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who has held the floor and legislation hostage throughout this Congress, Johnson finally had enough.

"I’m sick of this shit," he snapped.

Almost immediately, Johnson apologized to Luna for his outburst. He then walked over to the elementary-school-aged son of Rep. Gabe Evans, who had witnessed the interaction, and got down on one knee and apologized for cursing in front of him.

This scene is indicative of how frustrated most members are with the few who make life difficult for everybody.

As the House leaves for August recess, Johnson and his colleagues are fed up with the conservative rebels.

So much so, that Rep. Austin Scott has started pitching his colleagues on a conference rule change that would allow the GOP Steering Committee to punish members who vote against procedural motions by stripping them of committee assignments or gavels, sources say.

“If Nevada gets elevated over South Carolina, it would be because of their Latino vote,” says @ChristaleSpain. “So you would then be telling Black voters that you matter less than brown voters. And I refuse to believe that our party wants to send any type of message like that.”

[Rachael Bade @rachaelmbade]

.@MikieSherrill made waves yesterday announcing a glitch in the state system automatically registered 6k+ noncitizens to vote.

Smart to get ahead of this?

Or are Dems angry she gave Trump a talking point?

We discuss, on The Huddle

An appeals court denied JOE BIDEN's attempt to keep DOJ from releasing audio w/ his biographer.
