The Supreme Court's ruling against his signature tariff policy just days before the speech underscored just how quickly Trump's most brazen and signature actions could disintegrate amid a mountain of legal challenges.

If you've ever loved your country, this is a time to show it. If you want our leaders to be accountable, if you're devoted to the Constitution and the rule of law, if you want the United States of America to be worthy of your love, be ready to take to the streets together and we will take our country back.

I think we know what the agenda items are. Accomplishing those is going to be hard with a small majority. The upshot is that Trump's prime-time address is unlikely to make more than a ripple in the congressional agenda over the coming months. It's the reality, Republicans acknowledged Wednesday, of life in Washington right now: Despite its trifecta, the party's legislative ambitions are being hemmed in by its barely-there majorities.

They want to cheat, he said of Democrats. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that their only way to get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it. Trump has put action to his long-debunked claims this year, with FBI agents seizing 2020 election documentation in Fulton county, Georgia, and the Department of Justice pursuing voter data from state elections officials across the country.

This is what 'America first' looks like. The last year has been phenomenal. He has done more in one year than most presidents would accomplish in a whole term.

On Saturday, Democrats streamed through the Moscone Center convention complex, sporting lanyards emblazoned with Gavin Newsom's name and tote bags adorned with one of Nancy Pelosi's favorite aphorisms: We don't Agonize, we organize symbols of a party in transition as the former speaker approaches retirement and the term-limited governor eyes a presidential campaign.

Driving the news: In a memo Thursday, the Kennedy-aligned political advocacy group MAHA Action warned the chairs of the Republican Senate and House campaign committees and House and Senate leaders that the GOP "is renting MAHA voters. They haven't decided to purchase them yet." The group says Republicans could still close the polling gap with appeals to this segment, which it said could represent 10% of the electorate.

Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values. I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes. I look forward to finishing my term.

You can volunteer. You can make phone calls. You can knock on doors. But you can give! I've been out-raised twice in the last two quarters. They're killing us money-wise. I would rather have $10 from a million people than one guy giving me $10 million. Please go to lindseygraham.com tonight and give what you can, and do it every month until the election.

Elon Musk is spending big to help the GOP win the midterms. The world's richest man gave $5 million apiece in December to two super PACs tied to House and Senate GOP leadership, according to new disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday. That includes the Congressional Leadership Fund, which backs GOP House candidates, along with the Senate Leadership Fund. While Musk's contributions have been previously reported, the disclosures put a precise dollar amount on Musk's new investments.

No longer confined to the partisans and activists, the fierce backlash against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has begun to break out across American culture, spanning the worlds of business, sports and entertainment.Bruce Springsteen released a new song Wednesday that slammed "Trump's federal thugs." OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman told employees that "what's happening with ICE is going too far," referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

For the third time in less than a year, congressional Democrats are mulling the possibility of triggering a government shutdown as a way to show their defiance of Donald Trump. Last March, they (or at least a sufficient number of Senate Democrats, following Chuck Schumer's lead) chose to step back from the precipice of a shutdown, in part because they doubted Americans shared their interest in, much less their fury over,

Right now, Democrats have no credible path to sustained control of the Senate and the White House. After the adjustments to the Electoral College map that look likely to come with the next census, the Democratic presidential nominee could win all the states won by Kamala Harris plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still fall short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. An already unforgiving map becomes more so. This is equally true of the Senate.

I wouldn't say he's concerned about the policy,

I worry about that Trump is looking for this kind of pandemonium to go on like you just described. So that he could declare martial law or something and also cancel the midterms,
