What we’re hearing from people we trust on and around the Hill – please send us more tips!

• APRA action: A new version of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) is expected later today. We are hearing the policy changes are likely to lead to more Democratic support. 
• Biden’s immigration triangulation fails: President Joe Biden’s latest executive action on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals isn’t winning him any allies on the right. The House Republicans’ Whip, Rep. Tom Emmer (R., Minn.), shot the proposal down, telling the Reporter: “This is just another example of the Biden administration protecting illegal immigrants at the expense of American citizens. This mass amnesty, election year scheme confirms Joe Biden isn’t willing to lift a finger to save the next Rachel Morin or Laken Riley, who were allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants. Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself.”
• Tim Scott’s Palantir: Sen. Tim Scott (R., S.C.) made his latest foray into the veepstakes this week, hosting a tech-filled conference that joined tech leaders and policymakers in D.C. Guests and speakers included Palantir’s Jacob Helberg, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, Apollo Global Management founder Marc Rowan, Texas businessman Tim Dunn, Rep. Mike Waltz (R., Fla.), Sens. John Thune (R., S.C.), John Cornyn (R., Texas), Joni Ernst (R., Iowa), and former speaker Kevin McCarthy. 
• Zyn shortage: Two nonprofits, Americans for Consumer Protection and Building America’s Future, launched a “Save Our Pouches” campaign in response to efforts from the left to ban Zyn and other smokeless tobacco products. We have heard from operatives involved in this effort that Philip Morris International halting online sales of Zyn in response to D.C.’s Attorney Generals’ subpoena is going to “supercharge” the campaign–expect targeted ads this fall.  
• House party: The American Action Network, the sister organization of the House GOP leadership-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC, is rolling out $12 million ad buys in House districts across the country taking aim at “the liberal experiment of more regulations and more government spending [that] has failed working Americans across the country,” the group’s president, Dan Conston, said.
• Lake rising: The NRSC is out with a new poll showing Kari Lake leading Rep. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) 47 percent to 46 percent in the race for the Arizona Senate race.
