6th this week! Including Crenshaw losing, plus Zinke, Owens, Gonzeles, Issa, and Daines over in the other chamber.

I keep thinking about this weird thing where the DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell for allegedly lying to the Senate about renovations (even though no senators have accused him of lying), while Kristi Noem told the Senate Trump approved her $220M ad campaign and Trump himself said that wasn't true.
United States Onurt of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 26-5050 September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-02471-ACR Filed On: March 6, 2026 Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al., Appellees V. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Walker, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges ORDER Upon consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, the opposition thereto, the reply, the amicus briefs, and the Rule 28(i) letters, it is ORDERED that the motion for a stay be denied.
BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noemโs effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJโs request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
Like one of the few things Trump could legitimately claim until this week (though not through anything he did) was that gas prices had, in fact, come down in the past year somewhat (not as much as he claimed, of course).

There have been some very bad developments today.
White House: the witnessโsย allegations are โcompletely baselessโ and โbacked by zero credible evidence.โ
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.
Sheโs part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Updating: The woman is Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi, a current resident of Skokie who was born in Evanston
America borrowed $43.5 billion a week in the first four months of the fiscal year, with debt interest on track to be over $1 trillion for 2026.
Buckle UP.

After spending the day talking about college football, Trump heads to Palm Beach for another weekend of golf.
Veteran Rep. Darrell Issa decides not to seek reelection in new Democratic-leaning district, sources say
Iโm seeing a ton of this floating around.
Itโs true, weโre bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isnโt as one sided as theyโd have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.
We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.
Trump started an illegal war against Iran
Knowing it meant they would probably unleash a terrorist act on US soil
Knowing Americans would die
DHS is supposed to protect us from terrorism
But Markwayne Mullin-the guy he picked to head DHS-isnโt even smart enough to realize weโre at war with Iran
Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
Itโs almost like heโs hoping for it so that he can have an excuse to use โemergency powersโ
wtf is going on here
BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
Couldn't we just give people little cottages to live in rather than making more bombs?
It would make way more people happy ๐
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trumpโs presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
"I wanted to know what itโs like when the governmentโoneโs own governmentโsays you can live and work here legally, before betraying you at a green card appointment and plucking you unceremoniously from your family, job, and life. So I spoke to Maria."

"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself!" -- Trump is now working himself up into a frothing rage
Side-by-side collage of two images. On the left, a man with a beard sits in a legislative chamber seat, leaning forward over a desk with papers. On the right, two men stand behind podiums during what appears to be a debate or TV segment; a pink circle highlights a block or platform under one of the menโs feet.
Trump wants this guy in charge of Homeland Security.
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
Locals, meanwhile, have demanded an investigation from the FBI.
Like clockwork.
