How the Supreme Court could upend the midterms

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : FIRST IN PLAYBOOK -- Shut down the shutdown: New polling from Public Opinion Strategies conducted across key battleground states shows support for reopening the government, even before health care negotiations.
50% : Trump is once again hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House on Friday, still mulling whether to supply Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles -- a step Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned would mark a "new stage of escalation."
50% : Regardless, you can expect plenty more questions for Trump on Gaza as his pledge of a 3,000-year peace continues to hang by a thread.
50% : They know I'm not playing games," Trump said. To be very blunt, it's not clear how this would work.
50% : A majority of 60 percent said it should reopen and then negotiate on health care, while 35 percent said it should stay closed.
50% : " FOR YOUR RADAR: "Trump threatens World Cup host cities over crime.
49% : Essential explainer: As POLITICO's Zach Monatarello and Andrew Howard write this morning, the case centers on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, designed to prohibit discrimination at the ballot box on racial grounds.
42% : Supporters say the law stops unscrupulous state legislatures "from diluting minorities' voting power by either 'cracking' communities -- scattering minority voters into numerous white-dominated districts -- or 'packing' districts by trying to fit as many minority voters into as few districts as possible," Zach and Andrew write.
42% : Israel halved the amount of humanitarian aid it allowed into Gaza to pressure Hamas to release more of the dead hostages, while Hamas said several Gazans were killed in separate shootings from the Israeli military.
38% : Trump told reporters that the U.S. could step in "quickly and perhaps violently" if Hamas does not disarm, potentially one of the biggest sticking points in Trump's 20-point peace plan, WaPo's Amy Wang and Sammy Westfall report.
