U.S. Overdose Deaths Plummet

Green Party Candidate Stays on Montana Senate Ballot
“Sen. Jon Tester’s (D-MT) reelection was already difficult. It just got a little harder,” Politico reports.
“The Montana state Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling Tuesday that Green Party candidate Robert Barb can remain on the ballot for this fall’s Senate race, a blow to state Democrats who had fervently tried to block him out of fear he would pull votes away from the highly vulnerable Tester.”
Politico: Control of the Senate is coming down to Montana — and Democrats are struggling.
Majority Supports Mass Deportation of Immigrants

Inside Mike Johnson’s Doomed Funding Strategy
Punchbowl News: “Are you having major déjà vu? We are.”
“The House is set to vote today on a short-term funding bill that won’t pass. GOP lawmakers are grumbling about messaging, strategy and yearning to get back home to run for reelection. And Speaker Mike Johnson is being publicly and privately cagey about his next move, frustrating the entire House Republican Conference, which is looking for guidance about the leadership’s plans.”
“In fact, the GOP leadership is even in the dark at most times as to what Johnson is thinking and planning.”
NOTUS: “It’s not that Johnson is going to lose his gavel this Congress. The reality is there are so few legislative days left in the term that an ouster would be meaningless anyway. But he is in trouble next Congress, assuming Republicans hang on to the majority and Johnson even tries to be speaker again.”
Axios: Johnson’s colleagues baffled by his shutdown strategy.
Quote of the Day
“I don’t think I’ve ever said this before. So we do these rallies. They’re massive rallies. Everybody loves, everybody stays till the end. By the way, you know, when she said that, well, your rallies people leave. Honestly, nobody does. And if I saw them leaving, I’d say, and ladies and gentlemen make America great again and I’d get the hell out, ok? Because I don’t want people leaving. But I do have to say so I give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs but they all come together.”

Rate Cut Would Cap Winning Streak for Biden and Harris
New York Times: “Recent weeks have brought a run of good data on consumer prices and interest rates for the administration. The price of gasoline has fallen below $3 a gallon in much of the South and Midwest and is nearing a three-year low nationally. Spiking grocery prices have slowed to a crawl. Mortgage rates are down more than a percentage point from their recent peak. The Census Bureau reported last week that the typical household income rose faster than prices last year for the first time since the pandemic.”
“The overall inflation rate has returned to near historically normal levels, and the Fed is poised to begin cutting interest rates from a two-decade high.”
Associated Press: The Fed is set to cut interest rates for the first time in 4 years.
Trump Tries to Close Off a Chief Line of Attack
New York Times: “His remarks amount to a flip of a well-worn political script. For years, Democrats have argued that Mr. Trump’s autocratic instincts, his escalating threats to imprison those he sees as foes, his efforts to overturn the last election he lost, and his refusals to commit to accepting the results of the next one, render him a unique threat to America’s founding ideals. Dire warnings of the dangers of another Trump presidency have been accompanied by an incitement to vote, and defeat the former president at the ballot box.”
“Now, as part of a continued effort to deny Democrats one of their chief lines of attack against him, Mr. Trump is seeking to blame his opponents for an increasingly volatile political climate that he himself has helped stoke.”

Trump Taps Senate GOP with Flip-Flop on Taxes
Axios: “Trump’s surprise post on SALT deductions Tuesday has forced Senate Republicans into a pickle: contradict their party’s leader or their old positions.”
“For Republican leaders, it’s a taste of what’s to come if Trump wins back the White House.”
“They’ll have to harmonize their own positions — in real time — with a president who is constantly changing his.”

Harris Is Just Trying to Not Make News
“Kamala Harris largely stuck to her script during an interview Tuesday with a panel of National Association of Black Journalists members, carefully parrying questions about hot-button issues like the war in Gaza, reparations and other critical election topics,” Politico reports.
“It was the vice president’s second high-profile national media interview since announcing her presidential run, and though she spoke passionately at times about abortion rights and other policies, she did not break much ground or stray far from her talking points during the near hour-long conversation.”
GOP Lawmaker Was Accused of Abusing His Family
Minnesota state Rep. Jeff Dotseth (R) “was arrested in 2008 after his then-wife called police to report he’d assaulted her, one episode in what she and her son would describe in civil court filings as more than a decade of abuse,” the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
“Prosecutors charged Dotseth with misdemeanor domestic assault, according to the court records. Nine months after he was arrested, Dotseth pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct.”
GOP Senator Accuses Muslim Advocate of Extremism
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) accused a leading Muslim civil rights advocate of supporting extremism during a Senate hearing on hate incidents in the U.S., Reuters reports.
Asked Kennedy: “You support Hamas, do you not?”
Responded Maya Berry: “You asking the executive director of the Arab American Institute that question very much puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country.”
In a follow-up, Kennedy asked: “You support Hezbollah, too, don’t you?”
He later told her: “You should hide your head in a bag.”
