GOP Convention PREVIEW; Texas Senate Race Heats Up; Lindsay Clancy and TikTok

We're officially post-Labor Day, and that means the GOP Convention is here. Despite the narrative that nobody's showing up, all signs point to a packed two nights featuring Trump, Vance, and a lineup of high-profile senators and elected officials. We break down why the convention is happening, who's attending, and the themes to watch for — including the core contrast Republicans are drawing between competence and chaos, and the fight over affordability heading into the midterms. We also dig into the shifting Senate map, where a once-safe Texas race is tightening and a dark-horse contest is emerging in New Hampshire. Plus, JD Vance's new proposal to redirect daycare funding toward stay-at-home moms is raising fresh questions about entitlement expansion, the Socialism 2026 conference returns with its latest cause, and we examine TikTok's role in spreading conspiracy theories amid the Clancy trial. We close with a look at the week ahead, including Gavin Newsom's travels through the South.
