California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Senator Ted Cruz for a mathematical error in a social media post concerning congressional redistricting. Cruz’s initial post incorrectly calculated the potential Democratic advantage in California, which Newsom promptly corrected and used as an opportunity to mock Cruz. Following the error, Cruz deleted the post, prompting Newsom to further satirize him. Newsom’s response comes amid a redistricting push led by his administration, aimed at countering efforts in Republican-led states and potentially impacting the upcoming midterm elections.

Former President Donald Trump has publicly urged Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley to eliminate the “blue slip” tradition, which allows home-state senators to block judicial nominees. Trump argued that Democrats would exploit the custom to obstruct Republican picks and called on Grassley to take action to ensure the confirmation of judicial nominees. However, Grassley, who has a history of successfully navigating the blue slip process, has indicated his intention to maintain the tradition. The “blue slip” practice, a decades-old Senate custom, involves senators from a nominee’s home state submitting a blue form indicating their approval or disapproval of the nomination.

In a recent interview, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed regret over his previous call for Democrats to “bully the shit out of” former President Donald Trump. Walz stated that Trump “brings out the worst in people, and he brings out the worst in me,” particularly citing Trump’s response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband. The governor’s comments followed the charges filed against the suspect in the Hortman and Hoffman shootings, including a claim that Walz wanted the suspect to assassinate U.S. senators, a claim that Walz firmly denied.
