New — @insidepolitics 8aET/11aET: @CNN — Trump’s plans to expand military in US cities — John Bolton latest — Firing officials to stamp out dissent — Interview with Dem vying to take on Susan Collins in marquee race — Which party has edge in gerrymandering war — Newsom’s strategy

The current state of shutdown politics

When Senate passed big bill, Lisa Murkowski said: “This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the president’s desk.” But House jammed it through. Asked her if it was naive to think House would change it “It was not naive to suggest that it could have happened.”

New on “Inside Politics Sunday:” 8aET and 11aET on @CNN The batttle for the House and new reporting on the Dem counterattack as Trump pushes to redraw TX lines to gain five GOP seats in the midterms. “They’re trying to cheat to win,” Jeffries says of GOP. More tomorrow:

New — @insidepolitics 8aET and 11aET on @cnn — Hakeem Jeffries sits down with me on the gerrymandering wars. His battle with a top MD Dem. And the huge sums they plan to spend in VA. How he sees his path to become speaker — Noem latest — Epstein fallout — How long the DHS shutdown will last

Plan B is Plan A, Thune says, as shutdown poised to be the second longest in history and likely to go much longer

Dem Sen. Andy Kim to me after Senate vote: “What just happened in the Senate chamber was an absolute disgrace. I can't stress it enough,” saying it’s “very profoundly disturbing” to see bill passed in chamber where McCain voted to block repeal. “I'm just really gutted right now.”

GOP Sen. John Cornyn was unsparing on Ken Paxton, calling him a “crook,” “embarrassment” and “reckless.” Just hours before seeing Trump-endorsed Paxton win the nomination for Cornyn’s seat. Here’s what he told me in Austin as polls were closing:

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis, who has called on Trump to fire Secretary Noem and senior adviser Stephen Miller, on Trump calling him a “loser.” “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”

Trump’s claim that Iran was to blame for a deadly strike on an Iranian girls school is contradicted by video footage showing US was likely to blame. I asked him if the US would now accept responsibility — and he walked back his claim and said it’s being investigated.

Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng says questioning leaders is standard democratic practice in Norway. During the Modi-Støre press event in Oslo, she attempted to ask a question because visiting leaders, including Macron earlier, normally take questions from reporters.

I am aware the sound is awful and that the truth in times of alternative truth is triggering. But Jesus was not American, he wouldn't even qualify as Israeli, but would be considered a Jewish Palestinian. He wouldn't be white, was persecuted. "Whatever you do for the least, you do for me."
