Overnight the Supreme Court blocked Trump's bid to restrict mail voting for the midterms, with only Alito and Thomas dissenting. Trump denounced the decision as horrible and lacking courage, singling out his own appointees as a shell of themselves.
Attention shifted to Capitol Hill where FBI Director Kash Patel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, facing Democratic criticism over leadership, hiring standards and firings.
By afternoon a federal judge barred adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Center facade, prompting its Trump-appointed board to vote to close the venue for renovations, a move Trump said he would enforce until courts allowed the branding.
Rep. Thomas Massie filed eight impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth over the Iran war as a Pentagon watchdog detailed damaged bases and munitions shortfalls, and the House again voted to end the conflict.

Coming off the Lower Saxony municipals, editors opened on Friedrich Merz's fight for survival. Bild, Welt and merkur.de reported a leaked plan to convene the CDU presidium on Sunday election night for an indirect confidence question, offering resignation if an immediate successor was available, with Dobrindt, Söder and Wüst floated and leading CDU figures publicly rallying behind him.

In the evening Merz cancelled his trip to the UN General Debate, citing required presence in Berlin, cementing Sunday's state votes as a verdict on his chancellorship.
