Stuck around after this morning's @MeetThePress for a little bonus post-game panel discussion. Shared my latest thoughts and reporting on Texas (duh) and also the strategy behind Dems spending money in Mississippi and South Carolina. youtube.com/watch?v=B0CfBxCh…
Spicy interview today with @MikeRogersForMI on @MeetThePress - Rogers won’t answer when asked directly and repeatedly by @kwelkernbc if he’s a MAGA Republican.

NEW: He’s in the West Wing. He’s at the rally. He’s got Trump’s ear. Bill @pulte is everywhere.
Our deep dive on the 38-year-old ready to pitch President Trump with ideas emblazoned on posters

Odd Truth post from the President this morning, who reshared an AI-generated jail cell fight scene with no additional context.
By my count we're up to seven protestors removed from President Trump's South Carolina rally so far. The arena here is relatively small - roughly 2000-3000 people, and the disruptions are impossible to ignore.
Three protestors interrupt and are booted out of Trump South Carolina rally in first couple of minutes.
If you’re following reports of @bradlander being detained by the IDF in Israel- you may find the context and reporting here on the changing Democratic politics around Israel to be useful: open.spotify.com/episode/7JP…
Trump back to Texas for two rallies next week in areas where GOP needs blockbuster turnout.
President Trump is coming back to Texas next Tuesday for rallies in Lubbock and Waco, per RNC
Ken Paxton will attend both events.
These are red metros where Paxton needs strong turnout. Trump was +43 in the Lubbock metro and +35 in the Waco metro in '24

Vance traveled to Hungary in April, where he said he was "here to help" Orban's re-election bid. pbs.org/newshour/world/watch…
From VP pool report (which included a readout of Vance interview with @MarkHalperin): "Vance declined to endorse Netanyahu and replied that he endorses American candidates and is not getting involved in Israeli elections"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Vance said he endorses American candidates and is not getting involved in Israeli elections, but in April 2026 he spoke at a campaign rally for Viktor Orban in Hungary and urged voters to reelect him.

An anti-Talarico ad focused on transgender issues, paid for by the Elon Musk-funded Texas PAC just ran on the national broadcast of the Cowboys/Packers game (I'm watching in Maryland). Speaks to the crazy $$ pouring into this race (and low ad inventory left in Texas)
Remember this post & ensuing drama about how the President's arch would include drones, snipers and ammo storage? NBC's @GaryGrumbach reports the arch's final plans submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission include nothing of the sort.
🚨President Trump is revitalizing and improving Washington, D.C. at the highest levels while Democrat-run cities around the country fall into despair—crime, decay, empty offices, and broken streets.
The magnificent Triumphal Arch at Memorial Circle—planned since the Civil War—will now be a top-grade Military Complex / Triumphal Arch. Drones. Snipers on roof and plaza. Ammunition storage. No facility like it anywhere in the World.
Commander & Builder-in-Chief 🫡🇺🇸.

Retiring Republican Congressman:
Translation: The President shows he’s being duped by Putin and doesn’t know who is at fault in this war. He denies what other members of his own Administration are saying about Russian aid to Iran. This will go down as a very embarrassing chapter in U.S. history.
