Pressley and Gillen helm a win for Haitians. The Discharge Petition succeeds.

Federal judge temporarily blocks construction of Trump's White House ballroom The judge wrote that President Donald Trump is “not ... the owner” of the White House and that “unless and until Congress blesses this project ... construction has to stop!”

There's no sound as sweet as the voice of a fed-up jusldge clapping Trump's ears. Preserve the White House!

That Viral Meme About DOGE and Your Social Security Number The meme circulating on social media gets some things startlingly right — and other things badly, legally wrong. Here’s what actually happened, and where things stand today.

No point in making memes about truly scary things. The truth is far more compelling. #DOGE #musk #SocialSecurity

Labor Dept. Investigates Texts Among Secretary’s Family and Staff

DIC's Labor Secretary is corrupt. OK. Next?

Why is this not even shocking anymore? It's not even worth asking "how did she even get confirmed?" We know how. #VoteBlue in November and kick the lame-o's out. Progressives need to win primaries so Dems can win races.

I know so much horrible and tragic shit is happening, but the fact that Jared Kushner is involved in fucking everything needs more attention.

Why are investigative reporters not going here? Did I miss something?

Israelis Don’t Feel Much Like Victors in War With Iran

An @nytimes.com reports "four out of five Israelis believe a US-Iran agreement is unlikely or impossible and that if one were reached, it would be bad for Israel’s security. And three out of four believe that neither Iran nor Hezbollah has been severely weakened." So why is Bibi still in power?
