The iPhone 17 will reportedly have a bigger 6.3-inch display
The iPhone 17 will move to a larger 6.3-inch screen diagonal, making the iPhone 16 the last to use the 6.1-inch size. This rumor has been circulating before and is now backed by DSCC founder and current Counterpoint Research VP Ross Young, who has a solid track record with display-related rumors. This would make the base model iPhone and the iPhone 17 Pro equal in display size, something last seen with the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro. Size aside, the iPhone 17 Pro will likely have superior screen specs, including ProMotion and higher peak brightness. The other two iPhones in Apple's upcoming 17 lineup are expected to have different screen sizes, however. The rumored iPhone 17 Slim (or Air), which is set to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, will have a 6.6-inch display (smaller than the Plus' 6.7-inch). The iPhone 17 Pro Max will retain the 6.9-inch and its title as the biggest iPhone. Source

Senate Democratic campaign arm hits Republicans over Trump's first 100 days in ad
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) launched a digital ad campaign on Monday targeting Republicans in swing states over President Trump's first 100 days in office. The ad campaign, titled '100 Days of Cowardice,' comes as the second Trump administration reaches its 100 day mark on Tuesday. The 30-second spots are slated to run in the battleground states of Michigan, New Hampshire and Georgia, which are set to have open Senate contests next year. The campaign also includes targeted spots against Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) that will run in their respective states. The ads hit Republicans over Trump's tariffs, inflation, as well as potential cuts to Medicaid and Social Security. The ad also includes footage of the president's billionaire adviser Elon Musk wielding a chainsaw on stage at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year. The effort is the latest from Democrats to tie Republicans in swing states to Trump as polls show the president's approval rating dropping. A New York Times/Siena College poll released last week shows Trump with a 42 percent approval rating, while a CNN poll released on Sunday showed the president with a 41 percent approval rating. The Senate and the House will return from recess on Monday as Republicans in both chambers work to pass Trump's legislative agenda. The proposed package would include $9.3 billion in cuts already approved by Congress to NPR, PBS and the State Department, The Hill previously reported. Additionally, lawmakers will aim to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts while increasing spending on defense and border security through the budget reconciliation process. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Senate Dems are getting bullish about prized recruit Roy Cooper
Senior Democrats are increasingly convinced the party will land former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper to run for Senate next year, a potential coup for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Why it matters: Both parties acknowledge their Senate success next year will largely rest upon their recruitment efforts this year. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), has been personally involved in the effort to recruit Cooper, whom she's called a "formidable candidate," sources tell Axios. But Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has indicated she's passing on a Senate run, despite Schumer's direct appeals. Zoom in: Cooper is unlikely to mak e a decision until June, a source familiar with his thinking tells Axios. Until then it's 50/50, the source said. Cooper is convinced he's his party's best chance to beat Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). Democratic leaders are patiently waiting for prominent candidates to make decisions in Maine, Ohio and Texas. Maine Gov. Janet Mills hasn't ruled out a Senate bid to unseat Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). And there's always hope Rep. Jared Golden replicates his red-district magic statewide. Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) is also considering a comeback bid, and former Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) might give it another try in Texas. Between the lines: Democrats are coalescing around Rep. Chris Pappas in New Hampshire, especially now that Rep. Maggie Goodlander has decided not to run. But in Michigan, with Whitmer out of the picture, a competitive primary is shaping up on the Democratic side. State Sen. Mallory McMorrow is already in the race, as is progressive Abdul El-Sayed. Rep. Haley Stevens entered the race on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the DSCC said Democrats are in a "strong position" to pummel Republicans on the campaign trail over "their toxic threats to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and the chaotic tariffs that will spike costs for families." The other side: Republicans continue to cite Gov. Brian Kemp as their top recruit to knock off freshman Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) in Georgia. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has made an in-person appeal, as Axios scooped last week.

Scoop: Senate Dems hit GOP on Social Security in first 2026 ads
The campaign arm of Senate Democrats is launching its first advertising campaign of the 2026 election cycle, targeting two incumbent Republicans on Social Security. Why it matters: Democrats plan to make the Trump administration's targeting of Social Security a central issue of the party's bid to take back a Senate majority. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) will launch a digital ad campaign against Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Susan Collins (D-Me.) on Tuesday, Axios has learned. The ads highlight the Trump administration's plans to cut phone services for Social Security — a move the White House has since backed off. The digital ads, which will be placed on Meta, are meant to reach seniors and those who would be impacted by cuts to Social Security in North Carolina and Maine. The big picture: Collins and Tillis are just two of the many Republicans who will likely face a year of Democratic attacks over possible cuts to social safety net programs. On top of the White House's targeting of Social Security services, congressional Republicans are moving forward with a budget reconciliation bill which could include cuts to Medicaid. "In 2026, voters will hold Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and Senate Republicans accountable for their toxic plan to slash Social Security in order to pay for a tax giveaway to billionaires," DSCC Communications Director Maeve Coyle said in a statement. Between the lines: Collins was the author of the Social Security Fairness Act, which was signed into law by President Biden and restored full benefits for millions of public sector workers. Top congressional Republicans have said they have no plans to reduce Social Security benefits. Zoom out: Maine and North Carolina are the best opportunities to flip a Republican-held Senate seat next year.
