Saturday Trump There will be a story about Trump firing a veteran so watch for that in the news cycle. Trump is also in Washington State this weekend and Comms is putting together an event in Seattle in response so look for potential paper around that to go through approvals if it hasn't already. Arizona The DWS Arizona voting rights Op-Ed will be published on Friday. Sunday Shows Trump is on MTP and This Week so far. We need to be on the lookout for good commentary that we can clip about how the GOP has had a horrible week. Also be on the lookout for any MTP interview clips that are leaked beforehand. Mother's Day There is a DWS medium post that will go through the approvals system. Remember to do something for your mother today! In case you need something last minute refer to this handy list<https://www.buzzfeed.com/sallykaplan/last-minute-mothers-day-gifts-you-can-get-on-amazon-prime?utm_term=.gv7pBQMR75#.wsvVZqYrQd> of ideas. Monday Women's Health Week Monday is the beginning of Women's Health Week. Comms is putting together a press call to talk about how Trump is bad for women and will tie in how a Trump SCOTUS nominee would exacerbate this. The Hill The exact dates are unclear, but Trump will be visiting DC this week to meet with Members of Congress. Be on the lookout for exact dates and times so that we can try to track it. Depending on which Members he meets with we may put out some paper about how Senators will meet with Trump, but not Garland. Thematics Comms is putting together a Trump weekly thematics calendar so watch for that on Monday. Arizona Monday is the deadline for Arizona to respond to our lawsuit. It is unclear if they will ask for an extension yet. Native Americans The Huffington Post will be running a story on Trump's comments about Native Americans so be on the lookout for that. RNC Ahead of the grand opening of the Republican Leadership Initiative in California on Wednesday we will be putting out a release on Monday and doing a press conference Tuesday talking about how we have had good voter registration numbers in California. Look for all of this to go through approvals. Tuesday Election Day Republicans vote in Nebraska and West Virginia. Democrats vote in West Virginia.

Thursday Voting Rights There will be a call about voting rights involving DWA so look for scripts to go through approvals.
