Summary

August 25th, 2026, 9am: The Supreme Court allows Trump's plan to restrict mail-in ballots to move forward, but with 10 weeks to go, it's not clear if the new rules will be in effect come Election Day. Then, the White House announces new sanctions on Iran, but the details are scarce and depend on getting other countries on board. Plus, Canada prepares to announce retaliatory tariffs later this morning. What that could mean for Americans. Ali Vitali, Sam Stein, Lisa Rubin, Jeff Mason, Scott Lincicome, and Bharat Ramamurti join Money Power Politics this morning.
