Scott MacFarlane's daily newsletter maps the day after the Democrats' 2026 midterm sweep: House Republicans face a leadership fight with Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan lobbying for the top job, Hakeem Jeffries circulates his Speaker-campaign memo on affordability, and incoming Democratic committee chairs plan probes into the Trump administration. It also tracks legal battles over Trump's Monumental Arch and Kennedy Center changes, new governors' first days, measles cases topping 4,800, and whispers about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's future.
