Strong piece from @KimStrassel: “This week made vividly clear—if it weren’t already—that the Democrats’ DHS shutdown is unrelated to DHS policy. All those unpaid Transportation Security Administration officers are hostage to pure anti-Trump rage, and they’ll be released only on pain of political fallout.” wsj.com/opinion/white-…

REPORT: “A former North Carolina state senator received full per diem on nearly two dozen days he missed all votes, got another four-figure check after having been sworn into Congress, and chose silence for explanation to an investigation by The Center Square. Now a member of Congress, Democratic U.S. Rep. Don Davis is trying to secure a third term in a district redrawn to favor a Republican winning the northeastern corner of the state for the first time since 1882. Retired Army Col. Laurie Buckhout, a Republican from Edenton and former member of the Trump administration, and Libertarian Tom Bailey of Greensboro are also on the Nov. 3 ballot for the 1st Congressional District.”


NEW: If TRUMP thought dispatching ICE agents to airports would force Dems to blink in the never-ending DHS shutdown standoff, he’s in for a rude awakening ... I checked in with a bunch of Democratic lawmakers and top staffers yesterday. Their response wasn’t just unfazed; at times, it was downright giddy. The way they see it, Trump’s move screams desperation and that the White House fears getting blamed. Their thinking: If the White House is this rattled, Dems can squeeze even harder. Some are even betting Republicans will cave as soon as this week. Read & Subscribe: rachaelbade.substack.com/p/scoop-dems-d…
