House to Vote On Chuck Edwards Censure
“The House plans to vote Tuesday on a censure motion against Rep. Chuck Edwards, the North Carolina Republican whom the House Ethics Committee found last month had engaged in ‘persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct’ toward two female staffers,” the Washington Post reports.
“While the panel found that Edwards did not engage in sexual activity with or explicitly proposition any of his staffers, it did find that he was aware ‘that his excessive attention toward the young women had led to rumors and innuendo in the office.'”
Massie Names Epstein Co-Conspirators
“Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has been a key figure in a push to release files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the last few years, read off over a dozen names of what he said were ‘Epstein co-conspirators’ on Monday,” NewsNation reports.
Said Massie: “On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein co-conspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted. I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II.”
Ralph Norman Encourages Write In Votes for Him

How Well Do You Know American Voters?
My son has launched another political game — and this one is especially fun.
It’s called Pollster and the idea is simple: You’re shown a real polling question and have to guess the percentage of Americans who gave a particular answer.
The questions come from major polling organizations and some of the answers are much harder to predict than you might expect.
Like his other games, it only takes a few minutes to play. But it’s surprisingly addictive.
It joins Yea or Nay, where you try to predict how senators voted on key legislation, and Split Decision, his Supreme Court game.

Bessent Says Strait of Hormuz Will Be Bypassed
“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed the importance of the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, saying the crucial waterway for Persian Gulf energy that’s been controlled by Iran during the recent conflict will get bypassed by oil pipelines,” Bloomberg reports.
Said Bessent: “That will be bypassed in two years. In two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be like a worthless piece of water.”
JD Vance Confronts Jewish GOP Skeptics
“Vice President JD Vance has in recent months given voice to a rising skepticism in America toward Israel, leaving some Jewish Republicans uncomfortable, if not openly concerned, about the expected GOP frontrunner in the next presidential election,” CNN reports.
“Some Jewish GOP activists have expressed a preference for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while other ambitious Republicans have worked to stir doubt about Vance’s pro-Israel credentials. Among them is Sen. Ted Cruz, who recently said the party has not coalesced around Vance ahead of 2028 and that there will be a ‘full discussion’ about what the party stands for before then.”
Ty Cobb Compares Trump’s Ballroom to a ‘Whorehouse’
“Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb tore into President Trump’s White House ballroom project on Monday,” NewsNation reports.
Said Cobb: “It’s turning into some combination of a whorehouse and Las Vegas at this stage of the game with all the golden paving of it. It’s tragic what’s going on. But sadly, it’s gonna continue, at least for the time being.”
Max Miller’s Challenger Highlights (His Own) Family
“Democrat Brian Poindexter’s first general-election ad in his campaign to unseat Rep. Max Miller doesn’t directly mention the Republican’s well-publicized family drama — but it makes the subtext impossible to ignore,” Politico reports.
“The minute-long ad titled ‘Daughters’ features Poindexter’s three children — Ashley, Makayla and Taylor — telling stories about their dad as they sit in front of family photos.”

Democrats Just Might Win the Senate
Wired: “The basic contours of the national map remain uphill for Democrats. They currently hold 47 seats in the Senate, meaning they need to flip four Republican seats and hold their current ones, including in Michigan and Georgia, which President Donald Trump won in 2024.”
“But presiding over an unpopular Iran war that has dragged on for six months and resulted in high gas and grocery prices, Trump’s approval rating is now consistently below 40 percent, a historically perilous level. A Reuters/Ipsos poll has shown his approval nearing 30 percent.”
“The last time a Republican president was presiding over an unpopular war and spiking gas prices with less than 40 percent approval—George W. Bush in 2006—Democrats picked up six seats and took control of the Senate.”

Hegseth’s Pentagon Lurches Off the Rails
Tom Nichols: “Making Pete Hegseth the secretary of defense was always a huge gamble. A television host with little background in national-security or defense affairs, who topped out as a major in the National Guard, he was nominated based on the same qualification shared by most of Donald Trump’s other appointees: loyalty.”
“And now the price of that gamble is evident. The Pentagon is careening offtrack under a secretary of defense who is firing or forcing the resignations of officers and civilian officials, not because they are unqualified but because he believes they are insufficiently loyal to him, personally.”
House Democrats Fume About GOP’s Anti-Socialism Bill
“House Democrats are grumbling that Republicans are setting one last political trap for them before November by attaching language touting their marquee voter ID legislation to a resolution denouncing socialism,” Axios reports.
“This is a classic election-year tactic by the majority party in Congress, but centrist Democrats say it is also a missed opportunity for a genuinely bipartisan vote to denounce socialism.”
