Dem #110, overall #111 -->
The official announcement:
Rep. Serrano becomes Dem #111 to back an impeachment inquiry. He’s the third of the day.
Dem #112 backs an impeachment innquiry:
Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.'s delegate, backs an impeachment inquiry. Her support doesn't matter to the overall math because she doesn't get a floor vote -- but she does inside the Democratic caucus.

norton.house.gov/media-center/p…
Dem #113 and a big one: Rep. Jennifer Wexton, frmo a tough swing district.
Wexton is from the VA district previously held by Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock. She's one of a small group of other Dem freshmen who won GOP-held districts to call for an inquiry

The others: Porter, Mike Levin, Rouda, Casten, Malinowski, Pappas, Mucarsel-Powell, Schrier.
ANOTHER BIG ONE: Rep. Engel backs an impeachment inquiry. He’s one of the six chairmen Pelosi tasked with investigating Trump. Dem #114
That means two of the six — Engel and Waters — are publicly advocating for an impeachment inquiry. And Nadler has privately advocated. The others are Schiff, Neal and Cummings.
Engel is also an outsize voice in the NY delegation, which includes a few Dems who haven’t backed an inquiry yet — including Reps. Jeffries, Lowey and Meeks.
DEM #115 is another swing district freshman. Rep. Jason Crow: medium.com/@Rep.JasonCrow…
Judy CHU is the 116th House Democrat to back an impeachment inquiry.

AND WE'RE UNDERWAY: Judge Reyes has taken the bench to consider DC's emergency bid to block Trump's takeover of the city's police department.
REYES notes the attack on DOGE employee Ed Coristine and the prior claim by Trump + allies that crime in DC has been significantly down this year before deciding there was a national emergency.

But she says she will assume, for today, that the emergency claim is legit.
Arguing for DOJ: Yaakov Roth, principal deputy assistant attorney general of the Civil Division.

MORE: Engelmeyer says he reviewed the grand jury material and confirmed there is virtually nothing in it that isn’t public already. It would “not reveal new information of any consequence.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

NEW: Donald Trump may be off the hook for his alleged crimes, but his allies are still facing charges in five states — including a case against fake electors that goes before Nevada's Supreme Court tomorrow

A look at the zombie cases and what comes next. politico.com/news/2025/08/0…Image
In Arizona, where Trump allies like Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman still face prosecution, AG Kris Mayes is fighting to salvage her grand jury indictment or else go back to the drawing board.

An appeals court is likely to rule in late summer

In Georgia, Trump is still technically a defendant but is unlikely to ever see the inside of a courtroom. The case is also a trainwreck, frozen by questions about prosecutorial misconduct that must be resolved even before thorny are resolved. politico.com/news/2025/08/0…Image

NEWS: Trump has withdrawn Alina Habba's nomination to be US attorney in New Jersey, part of a multistep maneuver intended to keep her in the position as acting US attorney beyond an initial Friday deadline.
Here's how it works:

1) Habba resigns as interim US attorney, ahead of a Friday deadline
2) Trump withdraws Habba's nomination to take the job permanently
3) AG Bondi appoints Habba First Assistant US attorney
4) Habba automatically becomes acting US attoreny bc of the vacancy.
The reason Trump has to withdraw her nomination is because the Federal Vacancies Reform Act prohibits the nominee for a Senate-confirmed office from holding the post on an "acting" basis.

NEW: A batch of newly revealed text messages and emails from fired DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni show in real time how DOJ officials handled court orders related to the Alien Enemies Act, Kilmar Abrego Garcia and more.

They lend contemporaneous support to Reuveni's claim that Emil Bove suggested telling a court "fuck you." politico.com/news/2025/07/1…Image
There's a lot to unpack in the texts and emails between Reuveni and his colleagues. They joke morbidly about beign fired, and are grateful Boasberg was on vacation when the AEA crisis erupted. politico.com/news/2025/07/1…Image
Reuveni repeatedly told people inside the administration that Boasberg had ordered DHS not to deplane people after they landed in El Salvador. There seemed to be no ambiguity until ... politico.com/news/2025/07/1…Image
