Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 President Trump will hold a pair of pre-midterm campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa this coming weekend after all, having initially canceled them as he fights to keep Republican control of Congress.
🔮 The Justice Department has dramatically escalated its investigation into the Alaska Senate race and will issue dozens of new grand jury subpoenas on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.
🔮 It’s unclear what law they could be prosecuted under as Daniel Sullivan met the legal requirements to run for office and, under Alaska’s ballot system, four candidates make it through the primary to the general election.
🔮 He has two campaign stops in Texas on Tuesday, will visit Ohio on Wednesday, rally in South Carolina on Thursday, and be in Florida on Friday.
🔮 LaCivita, who co-led Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, and Blair, who served as a deputy chief of staff at the White House until May, likely will still have to pay income taxes on the revenue, which sources said was more than $100,000 apiece. Trump had raged earlier this month after the New York Times reported that the duo, who hold top roles at the MAGA Inc super pac, had taken a trip to back a political party in the ethnically Serbian Republika Srpska, where they advised the victorious ruling party, led by Milorad Dodik, in the region’s election.
🔮 It was a week ago that Wiles was fighting reports her tenure as chief of staff was in trouble after Trump hired Katie Zacharia as his press secretary — a major staff position — without her input and staff were squabbling about who would take the blame if Republicans got trounced in the November midterm election. Being subject of Washington’s favorite parlor game of musical staffers is never pleasant, but the president himself defended her, saying there “zero chance” of her firing and that she was “going to be here for a long time.”
🔮 Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin the ICE agents were wearing vest cameras and the footage will be made available as the investigation moves forward.
🔮 The mayor speaks with a political tone,” Mullin told reporters during a fiery press availability.
🔮 President Trump is expected to tear into Gov. Kathy Hochul over New York’s “sanctuary” status when he rallies with GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Blakeman in Syracuse on Friday following a pair of violent incidents that have outraged both sides of the immigration debate.
