Breaking news: A federal judge convinced the Justice Department to walk back President Trump’s efforts to assert control over the D.C. police and signaled she would issue a temporary restraining order if the changes are not complete by Friday evening.

Judge: D.C. police chief remains in command, but Trump can likely demand help on immigration

Mayor Muriel E. Bowser and D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb said the order by Attorney General Pam Bondi was unlawful and suggested they would not comply.

Let me expand on this point. The Constitution is quite clear that you can't distinguish between kinds of persons in running the Census. And that is especially about apportionment for Congress. The original language makes it pretty clear when it talks about "free persons". But the 14th amendment ...

Today is probably a good day to point out Article 4 Section 5 of the Indiana Constitution, which allows for apportionment of senators of representatives only after the decennial (every 10 year) census

As expected, military sources have now clarified that the U.S. was not running low on munitions. The aim was simply to cut support for Ukraine, since Trump supports Putin & Russia. As usual, Trump and his administration lie.

NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! A cache of documents I obtained via #FOIA from the first Trump administration shows how its Iran policy, including the US withdrawal from a key nuclear deal, arguably laid the groundwork for last weekend’s bombing. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Talking points used by the Trump administration during his first term to justify Donald Trump's refusal to recertify the Iran nuclear deal in October 2017. The documents also include potential questions Trump would be asked about his decision and responses to the questions, which were redacted.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

This was always the thing about Trump. To have a principled position on anything—including a principled anti-war position—requires principles. Trump's only principles are power and grift. Nothing else matters. And we told you this. Many, many times.

Immigration was his best issue in the polls. But now he's sinking on it. Maybe Americans care about the rule of law after all.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

Screenshot of a McConnell tweet declaring “this week in the Senate proved that clumsy partisan jams will not work” after he filibustered a Democratic spending bill and Democrats agreed to allow a McConnell-preferred clean bill to pass to avert a shutdown.

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process. Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

Media folks still amplifying the misinformation here, by calling gross cancelled spending “savings”. It’s not *savings* unless a credible source has done an analysis that shows the *same quality and quantity* of services are still being delivered at lower (social) costs. And that hasn’t been done.
