ICYMI: Senate GOPers mostly think it's a great idea for vulnerable GOPers to tie themselves to Trump on the campaign trail -- despite his record-low approval rating, voter outrage over high costs + as Dems have the edge in competitive races nationally. huffpost.com/entry/republica…

“Look at the record,” Ken Paxton today urged voters in his Senate race when picking a candidate. “It’s people’s behavior that you need to look at & say, ‘Are they for real?’”
Paxton was indicted on 3 felony charges + impeached by his own party in 2023. huffpost.com/entry/live-upda…

NEW -- Presidents haven't been greeting foreign leaders at the airport since the 60s.
Yet that is exactly the better-than-royal treatment Trump is giving Xi Jinping of China, which steals American IP, jails dissidents and has imprisoned an ethnic minority.

NEW -- That new threat Trump keeps making? About ending trade with countries that export more to the US than they import?
It would throw America into a massive recession, is all.
Unclear if Trump understands that, which is the scariest part.

🚨 NEW: Losing primary candidates almost always fall in line — but Rep. Jasmine Crockett is breaking that norm.
She endorsed James Talarico and said she would “absolutely” campaign for him, but hasn’t. Instead, she has repeatedly suggested Black voters aren’t excited about his campaign.
“I don’t know who is in her social circles, or who she’s talking to,” the TX Democratic Party Chair @KendallScudder told me. “The people I talk to seem very excited, but you know, her lived experience is different than mine.”
And many more Democrats have weighed in.

NEW -- Trump keeps claiming that Iran is "desperate" for a deal.
It's not true.
How do we know? Because the purported "dealmaker-in-chief" explained to the whole world just six weeks ago why Iran has all the leverage.

NEW from me: A senior Trump official is using his govt social media account to smear sitting federal judges, sparking accusations he's putting their safety at risk as judges already face a spike in threats.
This “puts a bullseye” on em, one judge told me. huffpost.com/entry/james-per…

It's been 39 days since anyone has publicly seen Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
I asked his office for any updates on his mysterious health condition or his plans to return to the Senate, and got... a statement from 11 days ago. huffpost.com/entry/live-upda…

NEW: Trump's deeply unpopular war in Iran -- the one he said was ending months ago -- is escalating.
With an eye on the midterms, Dems plan to keep forcing the GOP to choose between bucking Trump vs owning his deadly disaster. huffpost.com/entry/iran-war-… w/ @ArthurDelaneyHP

It was just last week that Ken Paxton was a big advocate of IVF.
“I am a strong supporter of IVF and pro-family policies," the Texas Senate GOP nominee told HuffPost.
Now he's suddenly walking that back, calling for "restrictions." huffpost.com/entry/ken-paxto…

Votes still coming in from Tuesday's primary, but this race for California's 40th congressional district is shaping up to be an ugly fight in Nov between two House GOPers, pitted against each other in a district newly drawn by Dems.
Which was the goal. huffpost.com/entry/ken-calve…

Three Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance a judicial nominee who refused to say that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
At least one judicial advocacy group is fuming. huffpost.com/entry/latest-ne…
