Washington's transportation budget has passed both legislative chambers.
The $3 billion in new bonding Bob Ferguson wanted to get approved was whittled down to $1.3 billion, unlocking new dollars for highway upkeep (with interest) without having to trade out any highway expansion projects.
Trump has denied that he is considering an emergency declaration to seize control of elections — but proponents say the draft order has gained traction within the White House.
"Last word I had was that the order had made it to the White House and that it had the president's attention," Canova said.
FETTERMAN: We should kill every last member of Iran's leadership
VARGAS: His son is now in charge
FETTERMAN: They should kill him too
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
In short, yes.
Super73's proprietary app no longer unlocks "off-road" mode (i.e. throttling up to 30+ mph) but several 3rd party apps do.

The thing that gets my Fed bureaucrat fists curling is that career warranted contracting officers are signing these corrupt and flawed contracts. I hope they aren’t the only ones to get sanctioned.
A federal crime.
The president of the United States is accusing his DHS secretary of committing a federal crime.

President Donald Trump’s grants of clemency during his five years in office, Gov. Gavin Newsom said, are costing the U.S. and its residents nearly $2 billion in court-ordered repayments.
The IRIS Dena, a prized destroyer in the Iranian Navy, had participated in an international naval exercise in India last month. The ship had been making its way back toward Iran from Visakhapatnam, a city in India where the joint exercise ended on Feb. 25. The United States was among the many participants in the drills.
so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
I spoke with two ICE watchers who lost their Global Entry after brushes with federal agents. Now an internal memo shows Customs and Border Protection is evaluating cases where people's Global Entry could be revoked based on "encounters" with its officers.

Michael S. Schmidt • @nytmike x.com NEW and BREAKING: In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court. DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court. A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.
You gotta be kidding me
My sense is that a lot of industry types didn't want Netflix to acquire Warner because they hate the tech guys.
But if this interview is correct, then Ellison is going to need to cut $16 billion in costs to make the math work. And that's going to mean a lot of layoffs. And that's even worse. /1
As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it
*TRUMP SAYS HIS POTENTIAL CANDIDATES TO LEAD IRAN KILLED: ABC
Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!
If this is true, it’s very clear that we want to destroy the possibility of a genuinely democratic opposition taking power, because we want to install that dog Reza Pahlavi as Shah
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
My messaging is tight and simple: we cannot even reach the question of the merits of "regime change" in Iran, because Donald Trump is a pretender.
The 14th Amendment is clear: he is a deficient vessel for holding the powers of the presidency.
Everything that he does is illegitimate per se.
I know there are more important things, but it is unreal that the president is announcing this via his own personal account on his own personal social media network.
The State Department authorized nonemergency staff and family members at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem to leave Israel, warning that they should consider acting “while commercial flights are available.”
They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.
A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Why?
There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.
