Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

On the Jeffries imbroglio, it looks at the very least like he got played for a sucker; to regain trust, he’d have to debrief House Dems and free them to talk to the press (or just discuss the Kushner meeting directly). But it’s a bad omen. www.offmessage.net/p/hakeem-jef...
We Need To Hear From Jeffries
He needs to be drawing redlines, not signaling compromise. Did he get snookered, or does he really intend to work cooperatively with thieves?

Degenerates like Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, and RFK Jr. should not be effectively immune (civilly, politically) for defaming civil servants—or any civilians—for propaganda or fundraising purposes. What they're doing to Anthony Fauci right now is horrifying. As things stand, they'll get away with it.
Republicans Should Suffer For Their Smears
There should be consequences, from civil liability to expulsion from Congress, for lying about citizens for propaganda or fundraising purposes.

It's just insane that the president tells absurd, easily disproven lies on a daily basis, and at this point we all just expect it.
Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

This Fauci hearing is the biggest explosion of right wing brainworms I've ever seen. Years of debunked and absurd antivax and "gain of function" conspiracy theories expressed as incoherent screaming at an 85 year old man. It's absolutely demented and embarrassing to watch.
Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

This is why Senate Democrats should not vote for any CR until Trump releases every dollar he has stolen from blue states, universities, the CFPB, etc. This is not a government that deserves to be funded as if it’s normal.
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

@smencimer.bsky.social has never had a problem with the IRS. So she was surprised in May when she was told she suddenly owed a lot of money. "After reviewing the cryptic letter, we realized that we did not, in fact, owe any." But the issue has yet to be resolved. She's still on the phone, waiting.
The IRS is imploding.
The CEO says the agency is proving it's possible to have “less people and better results.”

After insisting the correspondents' dinner was worth reviving, the WHCA handed Trump a nationally televised platform to smear the very journalists it exists to represent, effectively turn the stage into a Trump rally. It was a disgrace. My latest @status.news www.status.news/p/the-white-...
The White House Correspondents’ Disgrace

As energy bills rise, the US DOE deletes money-saving energy efficiency tips from its website. You think it can't be this stupid, but it is: the libs like using energy efficiently, so to own the libs, we must waste energy, at any cost.
Why did energy-saving tips disappear from the Energy Department website?
As the country sizzled through heat waves, the government removed some of its most actionable advice about how to conserve energy.
