This was one of the last Trump rallies in the 2026 midterm cycle—which is to say, one of the last Trump rallies we will ever need to care about, given that the president is hurtling toward lame-duck status.

Last month, @KatrinaNation wrote about James Talarico running on a compassionate, liberal Christianity, rarely seen since the right gained a stranglehold on faith-forward politics decades ago: https://t.co/S03CtPbM9d

As of now, it seems like Talarico is on pace to win by more than 3 points based on our pre-election expectations. Paxton needs a *really* red ED to even make this competitive.

Trump, not surprisingly, didn’t mention any of these problems, or GOP proposals to address them; his prescription for electoral victory in Iowa appeared to be Worship me harder. https://t.co/SWD7GQaghL

Kamala Harris has focused on campaigning in states where Democrats are seeking to make historic breakthroughs in gubernatorial races. Why? “A governor, as chief executive of a state, can actually make things happen.” https://t.co/NcjbGuBqAh

Ilhan Omar on why Barack Obama defended her: “President Obama knows the world of right-wing conspiracies better than anyone. In many ways, the conspiracy world I find myself in was created around him. That is why he can so clearly see the purpose and contradictions of the lies being told about me.” https://t.co/EeT7j6NyVI

At a rally in Dubuque, Iowa over the weekend, Trump showed just what a spent political force he has become—and what little grip on reality he still has. https://t.co/SWD7GQaghL

Despite Michigan being a battleground for one of the most contentious midterm races this cycle, I couldn’t help but feel a draw to my native Texas. https://t.co/7B4BQWnRaf

Despite the self-serving accounts in his memoir, Woodward remains, as he has long been, a conduit for largely meaningless internecine battles among elites, a glorified stenographer haplessly doing the bidding of the powerful even while he presents himself as a heroic crusader for the vitality of the Fourth Estate. https://t.co/XGpDI27SHw
