This was a pretty spooky surprise for the GOP: |
| 
Via The Hill's Melanie Zanona and Juliegrace Brufke, "President Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship has tossed a grenade into the final stretch of the midterm elections, roiling centrist Republicans and further endangering a House majority already at risk of slipping away." How this could play out: It could boost GOP Senate candidates, but harm House Republicans' chances in suburban swing districts. What to expect: http://bit.ly/2Q7NQ73 |

The president really has a 'Sixth Sense' about some things: |
| President Trump said he was "treated so warmly" when traveling to Pittsburgh to meet with victims of the synagogue shooting. Oh and: Trump used his first public comments about the Pittsburgh trip to air his grievances against the media. http://bit.ly/2P2HAB2 Trump's full tweet "Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh. The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad & solemn day. We were treated so warmly. Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful!" http://bit.ly/2JuPvkG What happened with the protests: "Hundreds of people marched in solemn protest around the Squirrel Hill neighborhood during Trump's visit on Tuesday, many carrying signs condemning the president's rhetoric." http://bit.ly/2P2HAB2 |

Pelosi on the House: 'I put a spell on you. And now you're mine' |
| --> http://bit.ly/2Deng9p ;) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) predicted that Democrats will retake control of the House in the midterm elections. "Let me say this. Up until today, I would've said, 'If the election were held today, we would win.' What now I'm saying is, 'We will win.' " http://bit.ly/2RpTOQX |

There's millennial pink -- and Democrats are hoping millennials like blue, too: |
| Democrats are banking on young voters to help their chances in the midterms. Why Dems have their hopes up: "A survey released this week by Harvard University's Institute of Politics found that about two-thirds of likely young voters said their preference is for the midterms to produce a Democratic-controlled Congress." And whether young voters will turn out: "The survey found that 40 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds said they will definitely vote in the upcoming congressional elections." http://bit.ly/2EVhtaK |

Why Ryan Zinke is having a bad day: |
| Via The Hill's Miranda Green, "The Interior Department's internal watchdog referred its investigation of Secretary Ryan Zinke to the Department of Justice (DOJ) more than two weeks ago, just days before it was announced that Interior would be getting a Trump political appointee to replace its acting inspector general, two sources confirmed to The Hill." Why that timing raised eyebrows: http://bit.ly/2OhTqSO |
