With Crucial Win at the Supreme Court, Trump Administration Has Path to Security, Transparency Rules in Mail Balloting– www.dailysignal.com

EXCERPT:

The Supreme Court delivered a big win to the Trump administration this week that could clear the way for better election integrity across the U.S.

Trump v. California, decided on Monday, cleared a major hurdle in the ongoing legal fight over President Donald Trump’s executive order “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections” issued in March.

The primary directives concerned the fight to ensure that only citizens vote in federal elections and to increase the security, integrity, and transparency of mail balloting across the nation.

The fight over the details is sure to continue in the days and weeks ahead, but the Trump administration now has a path to increase the integrity of mail voting prior to the 2026 midterm elections.

The Supreme Court halted a Massachusetts District Court’s ruling to sideline the Trump executive order on two major grounds. The 23 left-leaning states that had sued the federal government over the potential rules lacked legal standing to interfere with the executive branch development of rules and that the ripeness of the case was premature, thus too early to intervene with ongoing implementation or decide the constitutional merits of the case.

Stelter Gushes Over Abdul el-Sayed Taking On Fox’s Outrage Machine– www.newsbusters.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

On August 24, controversial Democrat Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed boldly accepted an invitation to the Fox News show Jesse Watters Primetime. It oozed confidence, but whether it was smart or strategic to play the Artful Dodger is a very different question.

In his newsletter, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter gushed over el-Sayed generating “lots of buzz and clippable content” and how he “showed a keen understanding of Fox’s outrage machine.” This is always amusing, as if Stelter doesn’t think CNN can be characterized as operating an “outrage machine” against Trump.

Then Stelter mischaracterized the central mishap of the interview. El-Sayed was credited for “refusing to take the bait when Watters asked whether it’s okay ‘for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off’ or whether trans athletes should compete in women’s sports. Each time, he redirected toward gas and grocery prices, the war in Iran, and health care.”

That’s not what happened. When Watters pressed him on genital amputations for children, he insisted this decision is between a doctor and a patient, and the government should not get involved – which is a bizarre position when you’re pushing for a “Medicare for All” scheme where the government controls the health care system.

A Disturbing New Poll — and Dennis Prager’s Warning for America – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

“Frightening” is perhaps a word used too often by people on both sides of the political aisle when reacting to polls that seem to capture a momentous societal change. But when Dennis Prager is the one giving the warning, I listen carefully.

In a discussion with PragerU Executive Director Allen Estrin, Prager broke down a new CBS News/YouGov poll showing that 58% of Democrats view socialism favorably, while only 32% favor capitalism. This is a subject about which Prager, whose field of study in graduate school was communism, is qualified to speak. But who cares about that credential when “socialism, much less democratic socialism, is not communism,” as CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins has said, right?

Prager wasted little time dispelling that argument with a brief history lesson:

The record of socialism in terms of human suffering, human death, human enslavement is the worst record in recorded history. In one—I won’t even say a century—inside of about 50 years, 100 million, 100 million people were murdered by socialists, by socialist/communist regimes. China, USSR, Cambodia, Vietnam—basically everywhere that socialists took over. Remember, the name of the Soviet Union was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. That’s very important.

Trump-Backed Darline Graham Wins South Carolina GOP Senate Nomination › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

Sen. Darline Graham won South Carolina’s Republican Senate runoff Tuesday, defeating Rep. Ralph Norman and handing President Donald Trump another victory for his endorsed candidate.

The Associated Press called the race for Graham, who is seeking a full term in the seat previously held by her late brother, longtime Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Graham, 62, will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November and enters the general election as the favorite in heavily Republican South Carolina. Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate race in the state since 1998.

The victory also demonstrates Trump’s continued influence among Republican primary voters. He endorsed Graham and traveled to South Carolina on Friday to campaign alongside her.

Crowley Stuns In WI, Beating Socialist In Dem Governor Primary– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

Wisconsin Democrats on Tuesday disregarded the polls and narrowly rejected an avowed socialist as their nominee for governor in the Badger State’s nationally-watched primary election.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who dropped out of the race late only to be coaxed back in by the so-called Democratic Party “establishment,” defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong by razor thin margins.

Per usual, Crowley’s Milwaukee County faced a ballot count delay, a stoppage that dragged out the tally for hours and was once again blamed on “human error.” It’s another in a string of election night messes for Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s most-populated — and election integrity challenged city.

With 98.4 percent of the vote in just before 2 a.m., Crowley led by just four-tenths of a percentage point, or just over 3,000 votes. The New York Times finally called the race for Crowley just before 3 a.m. local time.

A clean-energy super PAC funded almost entirely by a major Democrat donor is pouring millions of dollars into Tennessee’s Republican primary in an effort to defeat Trump-backed Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN).

The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition has spent roughly $1 million opposing Ogles and supporting his challenger, former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, before purchasing another $700,000 in advertising ahead of Thursday’s primary.

Federal Election Commission records show the group is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, the liberal California billionaire and chairman of cryptocurrency company Ripple.

Democrat Governor Restores Voting Rights For Roughly 66,000 Felons– trendingpoliticsnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Governor Abigail Spanberger announced on Saturday that her administration has restored the right to vote and other civil rights to 66,085 Virginians who were formerly incarcerated following felony convictions. The announcement, which was issued by the Office of the Governor in Richmond, noted that the restorations have occurred since Spanberger took office this past January.

Virginia is one of three states with a state constitution that permanently disenfranchises citizens with past felony convictions, leaving the restoration of those rights to the discretion of the governor. The civil rights restored under this process include the right to vote, serve on a jury, run for public office, and become a notary public.

Prior to 2022, governors from both major parties had worked to streamline the restoration process. Former Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican who left office in January 2026, shifted to a case-by-case application review system. Fewer than 10,000 restorations occurred under Youngkin’s administration, however.

Upon taking office, the Spanberger Administration reestablished processes to review applications and to proactively identify eligible Virginians whose rights could be restored. This included removing a requirement, added during the Youngkin Administration, for applicants to confirm payment of all fines, fees, and restitution.

Lawyer for GOP Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife files for restraining order as abuse allegations against congressman swirl– www.cbsnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The ex-wife of Republican Rep. Max Miller asked a court Thursday to issue a restraining order blocking the two-term Ohio congressman from contacting her lawyer, as her allegations that he assaulted her — which Miller denies — continue to plague his contentious reelection campaign.

Miller pledged on Sunday to stay in the race as he vehemently denied the recent allegations that have swirled against him.

“I’m not getting out of this race, and I’m winning in November,” Miller said.

In court filings, ex-wife Emily Moreno alleged that Miller has repeatedly had physical and verbal altercations with her attorney, Andrew Zashin, after recent court hearings in an ongoing custody battle. The pair already have court-ordered restraining orders against each other. They share a young daughter after a brief marriage that began in 2022 and ended in June 2025.

After a May court hearing, Moreno alleged that Miller insulted Zashin’s fiancée in front of witnesses at an Ohio courthouse, and alleged that after a hearing this week, the congressman physically grabbed Zashin and another attorney.

‘Platner on steroids’: Max Miller abuse claims have Republicans silently sweating– www.politico.com

EXCERPT:

Public scrutiny of domestic abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller is quickly mounting. His Republican colleagues have been slow to respond.

New reporting on government documents claiming that Miller poured hot water on his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, held a gun to her head and broke their young daughter’s collarbone has brought a wave of new attention to the Ohio lawmaker’s long-running public marital dispute. This week, Moreno’s lawyer filed for a restraining order against Miller, accusing him of harassing his ex-wife’s counsel.

The surge of attention presents a dilemma for Republicans: speak out against their colleague who is running in a competitive race or face accusations of hypocrisy after hammering multiple similarly scandal-plagued Democrats — including Graham Platner, who recently ended his Maine Senate campaign, and Eric Swalwell, who resigned his House seat in April.

Miller, like Platner and Swalwell, denies any wrongdoing. And so far, those fellow Republicans have been largely silent. A host of prominent GOP leaders nationally and in Ohio either declined to comment or did not respond to inquiries from POLITICO.

Dems must win 57 out of 77 competitive House seats to take majority– www.washingtonexaminer.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Democrats’ path to retaking the House in November has significantly slimmed as a result of the mid-decade redistricting war this cycle, a new analysis found.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report found that under the newly drawn maps across 10 states, the number of “competitive” swing seats has dropped from 87 to 77. For Democrats to win control of the House, the party would need to win at least 57 of the 77 seats.

The Cook Political Report’s elections analysis defines competitive seats as districts that either party won in the past two presidential election cycles by 5 points or less. Under the old lines, Democrats would have needed to win 59 of the 87 competitive seats.

Republicans are expected to gain eight seats due to mid-decade redistricting, while Democrats could have a net gain of two. The redistricting fight began this cycle in Texas after President Donald Trump urged the state legislature to redraw its state lines to be more favorable to Republicans.

Polls Show Majority Of Americans Support Voter ID– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

As the SAVE America Act stalls in the Senate, new polls show that an overwhelming majority of voters across both parties are largely in favor of supporting required voter ID laws.

Seemingly every day there are more reports about noncitizens participating in U.S. elections and undermining the integrity of America’s voting system. Senate Majority Leader John Thune also continues to clash with President Donald Trump, refusing to overturn the now four-month-long blockade of the SAVE Act in the upper chamber.

A recently published poll by Tea Party Patriots Action indicated over 80 percent of likely voters say that only U.S. citizens should vote in federal elections, while another poll conducted by Fox News found that over 80 percent of voters think that a photo ID should be required to register to vote.

The data released from TPPA surveyed 1,000 general election voters and was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on July 22, 2026. John McLaughlin, strategic consultant and pollster, surveyed people nationwide who are “likely to vote,” and divided respondents evenly between “people who support Trump and people who don’t,” according to TPPA Chairman Jenny Beth Martin.

Wisconsin Socialist Gov Candidate’s Campaign Denies She Wants to Abolish Senate, Despite Post From Campaign Acct Saying ‘Abolish the Senate’– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:

Francesca Hong is the latest Democratic Socialists of America darling to shoot to a surprising lead in a Democratic primary, this one for Wisconsin governor.

This has been a boon for U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, the unopposed Republican candidate for governor. He’s been noting that Hong, a former ramen shop owner and state assembly member, seems to echo a lot of the DSA’s radical agenda — including abolishing the U.S. Senate.

Hong’s campaign accused him of “telling lies and inventing quotes,” saying she never called for abolishing the Senate.

Except, of course, for that one time she posted on her current campaign account, “Abolish the Senate.”

The to-do began on Sunday, when DSA co-chair Megan Romer went viral for defending her positions on Fox News. This includes abolishing the police, abolishing prisons, abolishing the Senate, defunding the Department of War, and other such fun stuff.

“This sounds a lot like DSA-backed @FrancescaHongWI,” Tiffany said in an X post, along with the Romer video. “Socialism is knocking on Wisconsin’s door. This November, we slam it shut.”

EXCERPT:

I don’t anticipate a good election night for the right. If you don’t have hope, you can’t be disappointed. Know what I mean? However, hypothetically speaking, if Donald Trump and John Thune can get their sh*t together before then, we may be pleasantly surprised. While polls show voters don’t like us, it shows they hate the Democrat Party too. So it’ll come down to who they hate more on Election Day.

For example, Americans are concerned about the cost of living. That gets laid at the feet of the party in power, which am us. Affordability is not a hoax. Here’s the thing: when voters distrust one party when it comes to helping them, they tend to trust the other party by default. Not in 2026, and not these Democrats.

“The impact of Democratic policies on your cost of living…hurt or wouldn’t change it, the clear majority, nearly 3 in 5, 59%.”

DNC falls for scam, hands over $29,000 to fraudster pretending to be chair Ken Martin | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

EXCERPT:

A DNC official was only able to recover $7,000 of the $29,000 payment.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) lost nearly $29,000 to an email scammer who was posing as Ken Martin, the DNC’s chairman. The thief was able to scam the cash-strapped DNC out of the funds last year, according to reporting first done by NOTUS.

An unknown party was able to send the fraudulent email to a staffer at the DNC in February 2025, an official told the outlet. The email claimed to be Martin, and the staffer, who no longer works for the DNC, sent the $29,000.

The DNC official was able to catch the error minutes later, but was only able to recover $7,000 of the $29,000 payment. The fraudster was able to pull off the heist as the DNC is facing a crunch for cash and has now put its own building in Washington, DC up as collateral to get a $15 million line of credit.

The DNC admitted to what it referred to as a “misdisbursement of Committee funds” in a letter from August 2025 to the FEC, saying that the incident was caused by “the result of fraudulent activity by an external third party.”

The DNC told the agency that it would take “further steps to avoid similar events in the future.”

EXCERPT:

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added five candidates to its “Red to Blue” program on Tuesday, expanding its list of top recruits as Democrats work to reclaim the House majority in November.

The additions, spanning Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Montana, bring the committee’s flagship program to 30 candidates in competitive districts across the country.

“In less than 100 days, Democrats will take back the House majority and it will be powered by our incredible candidates such as the five named to Red to Blue today,” DCCC Chairwoman Suzan DelBene (D-WA) said in a statement. “Whether in suburban, rural or redistricted seats, the American people have soured on Republicans’ broken promises and failure to lower costs. Voters are outraged by higher prices on everything and a war of choice spiraling out of control. They are eager for change and new leaders who will fight for them, not be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.”

The “Red to Blue” program provides Democratic candidates in competitive races with financial support, strategic guidance, and additional campaign resources. Candidates qualify based on factors including fundraising, grassroots engagement, local support, and campaign organization.
