Judge Sets Ballot Eligibility Hearing After Ballots Mailed
“A tone-deaf Superior Court Judge, John Deitch, has scheduled a hearing for October 3 to first consider a lawsuit filed by a Hillside municipal candidate running in the November 4 general election, even though vote-by-mail ballots are scheduled to go out on September 20,” the New Jersey Globe reports.
Special Election to Shrink GOP Margins
“Fairfax County Supervisor James Walkinshaw, a Democrat, is expected to sail through Tuesday’s special election to fill the late Rep. Gerry Connolly’s (D-VA) seat, complicating Speaker Mike Johnson’s majority math,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Normally, special elections in safe seats aren’t super interesting. But in such a narrowly divided House, every vacancy can have a huge impact.”
What Democrats Can Get to Prevent a Shutdown
Punchbowl News: “Democrats have plenty of issues heading into this fight. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer weren’t only on different pages during the last government funding fight, they were on different planets. Schumer got hammered for bailing Republicans out in March. He can’t do that this time while getting nothing in return.”
“Republicans are beginning to come to grips with the fact that they have to consider extending Obamacare premium tax credits…”
“Allowing a double-digit increase in health care premiums isn’t tenable for a Republican Party that is growing more vulnerable on cost-of-living politics. That said, Johnson will lose a lot of GOP support if he includes the Obamacare tax credit in any funding bill. House Democrats would be needed to pass that package.”
Trump’s Meddling in Mayoral Race Is Backfiring
“Add this to the list of Donald Trump’s accomplishments: Helping elect a socialist mayor of New York City,” CNN reports.
“That’s the assessment from many politicians and operatives in the president’s hometown after a chaotic week of White House intervention, between Trump talking repeatedly about the candidates and his aides discussing an ambassadorship or other jobs with Mayor Eric Adams to get him to leave the race.”
RFK Jr. Sees No Successes in Health Agencies
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he did not think there have been any “successes” among U.S. health agencies, claiming the infiltration of pharmaceutical companies have led to a “series of bad decisions,” CNN reports.
Nepal Sees Deadly Clashes After Social Media Ban
“At least fourteen people were killed and dozens injured in Nepal’s Kathmandu during protests against the government’s decision to ban several social media platforms,” Bloomberg reports.
Wes Moore Pressed About a Possible 2028 Run
“Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, said on Sunday that he was focused on being re-elected as governor, even as his national profile has continued to grow in recent weeks as he traded barbs with President Trump,” the New York Times reports.
Jack Schlossberg Mulls Run for Congress
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, said on X that he’s forming an exploratory committee for a run at the seat of retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
Scott Bessent Threatens an Administration Rival
“A private dinner attended by dozens of administration officials and close advisers to President Donald Trump was temporarily marred by a dramatic clash between two of Trump’s top economic officials, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at one point threatening to punch top housing finance official Bill Pulte ‘in the fucking face,’” Politico reports.
Said Bessent: “Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you. I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.”
He added: “I’m going to fucking beat your ass.”
Big Majority Support Immigration
A new Gallup poll finds 79 percent of Americans stating that overall immigration is a good thing for the country, vs. just 17 percent who said it is not.
Working Class Democrats Try a Hardscrabble Pitch
New York Times: “In a populist moment when voters are angry at a government that many believe has failed them at every turn, a slew of working-class Democratic candidates are entering competitive congressional races across the country with an appeal that appears aimed at being relatable, if not particularly uplifting: Our lives are just as difficult and infuriating as yours.”
Insiders Want Padilla to Run for California Governor
Sen. Alex Padilla’s (D-CA) potential gubernatorial run has injected a new variable into the Golden State’s political equation, and has “quickly gained traction with one group in particular: Sacramento insiders who have known Padilla for years and see him as someone they can work with,” Politico reports.
“The 2026 contest is California’s most competitive governor’s race in decades, and many Democrats are still searching for an alternative to former Rep. Katie Porter, who rose to prominence with her sharp questioning of corporate executives and government officials in Washington and is viewed by some as too progressive.”
States Face Massive New Costs Under Trump Cuts
“States are scrambling to prepare for an unprecedented shift of costs and responsibilities under President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending plan, which will force them to make difficult decisions about cuts to state programs to offset the new financial burdens,” the Washington Post reports.
“Unlike the federal government, states must balance their budgets each year.”
The Case for a Shutdown
Ezra Klein: “I’m not going to tell you I am absolutely sure Democrats should shut the government down. I’m not. At the same time, joining Republicans to fund this government is worse than failing at opposition. It’s complicity. If there’s a better plan than a shutdown, great. But if the plan is still nothing, then Democrats need new leaders.”
Oil Tycoons’ Big Bet on Trump Is Paying Off
Wall Street Journal: “The Trump administration is opening swaths of wilderness land and federal waters to drilling, approving new terminals to export natural gas and proposing to ax environmental regulations, including an Obama-era rule used to curb emissions from power plants, tailpipes and oil-and-gas production. His One Big Beautiful Bill is expected to hobble renewable-energy projects and stunt the adoption of electric vehicles.”
“Oil executives now enjoy extraordinary access to the White House.”
RFK Jr. Fuels Distrust of His Own Agencies
New York Times: “Instead of being guided by rigorous research and nuanced debate over complex issues that defy easy answers, the country’s health secretary rejects facts that do not fit his theories and casts out experts who are not aligned with him. He is buoyed by the support of a vocal populist base that shares his suspicions of organized medicine and is energized by his push for a new approach.”
“Mr. Kennedy’s distrust of his department’s scientists and doctors has created turmoil within the nation’s public health agencies, particularly the C.D.C. Mass firings and restructuring have stripped the institution of expertise. And the health secretary dismissed an entire panel of vaccine experts and fired the C.D.C. director — whom he had called a ‘brilliant microbiologist and a tech wizard’ — just one month after the Senate confirmed her.”
