[b]DC National Guard surge didn’t reduce violent crime: Research[/b]
"The nearly 10-month presence of National Guard troops in Washington has not helped reduce violent crime in the nation’s capital, according to a new study from the Niskanen Center, a Washington policy think tank. 
While the guard’s presence in Washington helped drive down some crime — including a 24 percent decline in opportunistic property crime — the report found it is not the correct tool for violent offenses and comes at a far higher cost than traditional police law enforcement.”

[b]A Horrific Parasite (the screwworm!) Is Back—And Elon Musk's DOGE Could Be Partly To Blame.[/b]
“Prior to the parasites’ U.S. eradication in the 1970s, they caused tens of millions of dollars in losses to cattle ranchers yearly.
Roughly two months before the suspension, the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency gutted the United States Agency for International Development, which included a program dedicated to preventing the spread of the parasite across the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a report from Agri-Pulse published last March, which cited a list of cut programs sent to Congress.
The screwworm prevention program was part of roughly 5,300 grants and programs cut from USAID. The program also monitored outbreaks of avian flu in Asia, according to the report.”

[b]Trump’s Grip on GOP Weakens as He Suffers Shock Defeat in Iowa.[/b]
“A candidate backed by President Donald Trump suffered a narrow primary defeat to a rival backed by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement—marking the first loss for a Trump-endorsee in the 2026 midterms election cycle.
Representative Randy Feenstra conceded the Republican primary for Iowa’s next governor to businessman and farmer Zach Lahn on Tuesday night.”

[b]Bannon: GOP ‘going to lose the Senate’ in midterms.[/b]
“Former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon predicted this week that the Republican Party will lose its majority in the Senate in the midterm elections this fall. 
In a Thursday episode of his “War Room” podcast, the conservative commentator said he has witnessed a deflation in excitement from GOP voters ahead of the November elections “because now it has to be a showdown.”

[b]Tech ‘got spank—’ in this week’s primaries—Tech is poised to suffer more electoral defeats this summer in New York, Florida and elsewhere, where industry detractors are frontrunners in their upcoming primaries.[/b]
“The anti-tech mood is rising across the U.S., with the California results just the latest demonstration of populist opposition. Voters are angry about water and energy-hungry data centers in their communities, and parents are concerned that chatbots are harming their children. Tech is poised to suffer more electoral defeats this summer in New York, Florida and elsewhere, where detractors challenging the industry are frontrunners in their upcoming primaries.”

[b]Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy election conspiracist, loses GOP endorsement in Minnesota governor’s race.[/b]
“Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy who’s long worked feverishly to throw the 2020 election to Donald Trump, may be out of the running for the GOP nomination in the Minnesota governor’s race. 
At the Republican Party’s state convention this weekend, where members cast ballots for the party’s official endorsements, Lindell came in third place among gubernatorial candidates, which removed him from eligibility for the endorsement. 
This means that Lindell – a politician notorious for conspiring with Trump to stir 2020 election conspiracies – won’t be on the ticket as the state’s GOP-picked runner. He can continue campaigning to win the August primary, but it will be without the full support of the Minnesota Republican Party.”

[b]New York Democrats take first step toward drawing new congressional lines ahead of 2028.[/b]
“The Democratic-led state Legislature on Wednesday night took its first step toward passing a constitutional amendment that would give lawmakers more authority on redistricting. Legislators must pass the amendment again next year before going to voters for final approval.
If the amendment clears these hurdles, New York lawmakers could draw a new map with as many as four new Democratic-leaning seats ahead of the 2028 elections.”

[b]Arizona AG will seek to revive 2020 ‘fake elector’ case.[/b]
“The Arizona attorney general’s office said on Thursday that it will seek fresh indictments against a group of so-called fake electors after the state’s highest court refused to revive the 2020 election subversion case.
“The Arizona Attorney General’s Office will return this case to the grand jury,” a spokesperson for Attorney General Kris Mayes’s (D) office said in a statement to The Hill. “We decline to comment further at this time.”

[b]Judge blocks series of Trump policies halting immigration processing.[/b]
“A federal judge on Friday vacated a series of President Trump’s policies enacted in the wake of a deadly attack on National Guard members, forcing immigration agencies to again process applications from citizens of nearly 40 countries.
In the days surrounding last Thanksgiving, Trump barred the processing of any immigration application for those from 39 travel ban countries, halting the ability to get green cards and leading to widespread cancellation of naturalization ceremonies.”
