Said Trump: “He’s not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn’t what he believes. He has to cater to his base, which is mostly composed of losers, and people who don’t like working.”

The Parents Opting Out of Trump’s Free $1,000
The Atlantic: “It is rare for people to turn down free money from the government. But that’s what happens when a polarizing president attaches his name to a taxpayer-supported program originally pitched as a vehicle to help America’s children achieve financial security.”
“An investment idea once championed by Democrats as a pathway to stability for millions of minors is now at risk of becoming yet another casualty of the country’s partisan divide. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say the program has promise. But its greatest obstacle to achieving widespread acceptance may be its name.”
‘Zero’ Indication RFK Jr. Is Planning Departure
“When it comes to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s future, two things are clear: He hasn’t finished what he set out to do, and President Trump has his back,” Axios reports.
“It was a popular assumption a few months ago that Kennedy would be out after the November elections. Now, the question is why he would leave.”
”Though he’d surely be a target if Democrats take control in Congress, Kennedy still could wield considerable power upending vaccine policy and redefining the government’s role in the health care system.”

The Trump Show Is Back, Perhaps for a Final Time
Wall Street Journal: “Trump has returned to the rally stage in force, hoping to energize his supporters and defy the polls predicting deep Republican losses in November. Crowds are generally smaller than they were when he was on the ballot, but the president is reveling in the attention, touting his agenda, stirring the pot and veering off script.”
“Some Republicans fear the spectacle will motivate Democrats and give his opponents plenty of fodder to paint the president as out of touch. But at the arenas, gyms and airport hangars where he has been holding court, the Trump show is unabashedly back—perhaps for a final time as his decadelong dominance in politics begins to sunset.”

Trump’s Election Attacks Enter New Pre-Emptive Phase
“For months, President Trump has mounted a sustained effort to attack the integrity of U.S. elections while using the federal government to try to assert more control over the voting process overseen by states,” the New York Times reports.
“Last week, Mr. Trump opened a new front.”
“Rather than simply push false claims at his rallies or target voters his administration claims should not be on the rolls, Mr. Trump moved to pre-emptively challenge the certification of Alaska’s Senate election if the Republican candidate narrowly loses.”
“In doing so, Mr. Trump harnessed the power of the federal government to try to interfere in the voting process before Election Day — essentially trying to nullify an opponent’s potential win before the game has been called.”
Trump Has Pushed 13% Off Food Stamps
The Guardian: “Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program has decreased significantly over the past year in the U.S. following restrictions imposed by the Trump administration, which has forced more people to seek help from food banks or go hungry.”

Epstein Haunts GOP in Midterms as Democrats Vow Probes

Trump’s Department of Justice Barrels Into Midterms
“With just nine days until the midterms, the Trump administration is escalating its assault on two of the Department of Justice’s most sacred guardrails: Independence from the White House and restraint before elections,” Axios reports.

Trump Unleashes Justice Department On the Midterms
“The Justice Department is sharply intensifying efforts to intervene in the midterm elections, goaded by a president unfettered by even the limited restraints of his first term,” the New York Times reports.
“The next several weeks represent a critical moment for federal law enforcement, a test of whether a department repurposed by President Trump as an instrument of unmediated executive power will be effectively mobilized as a guarantor of his political power.”
“In recent weeks, the department has taken several new steps, including an extraordinary effort to invalidate any potential Democratic victory in the Alaska Senate race, that reflect Mr. Trump’s growing agitation as his party faces the possibility of losing control of Congress precipitated by his sagging popularity.”
