Homelessness encampments in D.C. have largely disappeared a year after President Donald Trump pushed a crackdown. Homelessness is still, however, a major problem in the city.

NEWS: A landmark crypto market structure bill failed in the Senate over Trump ethics concerns.
The industry is prepping to unleash a wave of spending ahead of November and Dems supported by crypto groups, including Slotkin and Gallego, opposed the bill.

🚨 NEW: A federal judge has ordered the Trump Administration to release thousands of USAID records to the @WashingtonSun.
The ruling comes after we sued the government for not responding to a Freedom of Information Act request.

My interview with Abdul El-Sayed, where I ask:
- why he apologized last weekend
- what he learned from his primary opponents
- If the country should halt AI development
- if he consider Sanders a model
- If he thinks he's more of a man than Mike Rogers

Republicans have a simple strategy for how to campaign against a slate of independent candidates running for Senate seats in red states: Take every opportunity to tie them to Democrats.

Campaigns can't coordinate directly with outside groups.
But in competitive races, @davelevinthal and I identified more than a dozen Democratic campaigns embracing "redboxing," messaging and distribution wishlists that deep-pocketed groups can act on.

Republicans love working with Elizabeth Warren.
And some conservative populists think their work with the progressive could serve as a model for more bipartisanship come 2027.

Polls for the Michigan Senate race were way off. Now skepticism looms over the Wisconsin gov race, where another progressive running statewide is polling far ahead.
But El-Sayed’s narrow win also gives the left hope that they can win in purple states.

Democratic nominees have dropped their campaigns in at least 3 Republican-leaning states, giving a boost to independent candidates.
In Montana, the Democrat refuses to drop out, a state that could make or break Democrats' Senate control hopes.

Two decades before former Sen. Bob Menendez went to prison over a bribery scheme that saw him receive payoffs in cash and gold bars, his congressional campaign was buying up shares of literal gold mines — among them: Glamis Gold, Harmony Gold and Goldcorp.

The housing bill is NOW THE LAW—even though Trump refused to sign the bill.
Democrats are fighting to lower costs.
I’m hitting the road this weekend in Georgia and North Carolina to share this big housing affordability win.

NEW: Sen. Warren is campaigning in GA and NC this weekend on the housing bill.
“This new law is all about helping working families, but there’s nothing in it for Donald Trump personally,” Warren said. “As a result, he’s just not interested.”

Sure, politics often requires diplomacy. But @berniemoreno ‘s daughter has accused @MaxMillerOH of domestic violence toward her & their kids.
So @adorathejourn asked Moreno if Miller should run for another term:
“I don’t know.”
Really? I don’t know?

After we reported that Rep. Ryan Mackenzie took a donation from fraudster Adam Kidan three days before Trump pardoned him, he returned the contribution.

I broke the story earlier this year that this project was going to cost 5 million taxpayer dollars. Those horses are covered in what experts described to me as an unusually thick layer of 23.75 karat gold.

News: Trump pardoned a megadonor three days after the man — a key figure in the Jack Abramoff fraud and lobbying scandal — made a political donation to Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-Pennsylvania), who’s facing one of the nation’s most contested races.
