VIDEO: Tree crashed on moving car in Bristol. Driver and passenger had to remain in the vehicle because of live wires. Driver tells me they were on the way to carnival in town. They're OK. Power in the area is out.

McConnell wants to know why the White House can’t tell agencies to direct agencies examine funding decisions based on DEI, green new deal, “woke something or other,” as long as it’s within the scope of the law.

Again reading the complaint the AG's filed against the Trump administration's funding freeze, it looks like this case was going to be filed in NY (highlighted below). Likely some discussion on venue up to the wire. The AG's picked RI federal court late yesterday.
