    Trump’s reason for holding the Kennedy Center hostage doesn’t even make sense | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is plenty that’s bizarre about President Donald Trump’s attempt to take the Kennedy Center hostage over a judge’s refusal to let him put his name on it. He’s now indicated twice in recent days that he will abandon the center — and even let it be “ripped down” — if the courts don’t change the ruling. But high on the bizarreness quotient are Trump’s claims that the Kennedy Center needs him. They just don’t make sense. The administration has made that argument repeatedly

    JD Vance’s telling ‘give us another chance’ flub | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Vice President JD Vance this week asked voters for “another chance” — something that is decidedly contrary to President Donald Trump’s midterm messaging — before seeming to catch himself. “Give us another chance — or, give us another couple of years to continue to work on the amazing things that we’ve been doing for the past two years,” Vance said on the “All In” podcast. The first is that Vance seemed to think better of the phrase he had just uttered and tried to change it

    Why the Supreme Court’s rebuke of Trump might help democracy more than Democrats | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The reactions to the US Supreme Court putting an end to President Donald Trump’s efforts to significantly restrict mail ballots in the 2026 midterm elections were about what you’d expect. It was largely Democrats, whose voters tend to avail themselves of mail voting more than Republicans do, who cheered the ruling. Trump, who has made no secret that he views his proposed election changes as helping Republicans, assailed it. But it’s not totally clear that the restrictions would have harmed

    The Kennedy Center saga shows how consumed Trump is with his own glorification | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Back in December, President Donald Trump professed to be “surprised” that his hand-picked board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts had suddenly voted to slap his name alongside Kennedy’s on the building. Ten months later, Trump’s effort to hold the institution hostage to obtain that goal epitomizes an increasingly bizarre fixation on his own legacy – and one with potential near-term political consequences. Perhaps better than anything else right now, it

    Analysis: Trump’s successful revenge tour and 8 other takeaways from the 2026 primaries | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 2026 primary season featured the rise of democratic socialist and anti-Israel candidates on the left, a host of incumbents losing primaries, President Donald Trump getting revenge but also seeing his hold on his base waver, and a bare-knuckle redistricting push by Republicans that could reverberate for years to come. All of it set the stage for a midterm election in which Democrats seem to have a chance to flip both the House (which appears likely) and the Senate (which appears possible), th
