Smart, newsy story from @jordainc on the unlikely political survival (so far) of @SenBillCassidy. He voted to impeach Trump, has sparred with RFK Jr., but one of his in-state critics admits, "He could win." Depends, of course, on what Trump does. politico.com/news/2025/09/0…
Personal news: I'm now the anchor of Global Security, a new POLITICO newsletter. Had a great run at Morning Defense, and I'm excited about all that's next. DM's open for pitches and feedback. See you at #DSEI next week. politi.co/4gaAXGe
Scoopage from @meredithllee @rachaelmbade: Top White House political officials will counsel House Republicans to recalibrate their megabill sales pitch this morning to focus on "working families" -- 1 week after Trump deemed "big beautiful" name a bust politico.com/news/2025/09/0…
NEW: GOP Rep Thomas Massie is pushing ahead with his Epstein discharge petition - even as GOP leaders hope a doc dump tonight will help them “It doesn’t change a thing. It’s giving political cover for some people, but that’s fleeting, because eventually people are going to pore…
This is an extremely informative and easy to read “Congress returns” curtain raiser from @meredithllee and @jordainc. Get smart and impress your friends! politico.com/news/2025/09/0…
NEW: Congress is back and House GOP leaders are again facing an Epstein-related revolt “This has not gone away like the speaker had hoped,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky) said momentum is only “increasing” Plus inside funding + stock trading fights ahead > politi.co/4g4C7Dc

Retiring Rep. Don Bacon (Neb) is so far the lone Hill R to publicly question Trump’s effort to fire Cook — “It would be one thing if she was found guilty, but she is entitled to due process,” he told POLITICO. “This is his way to gain control of the Fed” politi.co/4mF3AOm

DC's mayor has given everything a blue-city pol could realistically give a MAGA president. Trump kicked her in the teeth anyway. But even the outrage of having her government usurped hasn't changed the dynamic. Is it time for a change in tactics? politi.co/45r0xTP
