The Supreme Court declined to hear cases brought by an anti-voting group seeking to weaken the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). The group argued the law be reinterpreted to require more aggressive voter purges. The justices preserved the pro-voting interpretation of the NVRA

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. Economists were expecting a net gain of 60,000 jobs last month while December’s job gains of 48,000 were revised down to a loss of 17,000 jobs. This is bad, folks.

Hegseth is suggesting the illegal war may last weeks. The fact CENTCOM is requesting staffing for 6 months is a better indicator of how long the hostilities will last. The US is not the only party in the war and may not be able to unilaterally declare a cessation of hostilities.
Robert Hubbell
The firing of Noem and Bovino, the withdrawal of ICE, and Trump’s public retreat are due, in part, to the steadfast resistance of everyday Americans who have had enough. A job well done!

The people of Minnesota made their stand in the coldest months of the year, braving temperatures that sometimes dipped to 30 degrees below zero.
Robert Hubbell
The people of Minnesota refused to be intimidated. Instead, they formed the equivalent of a citizens ’ mutual aid society, protesting, ride-sharing, grocery shopping, and serving as the community’s eyes and ears, watching and listening for the roving gangs of paramilitary thugs.

Hey, Kristi Noem, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Here’s your legacy: corruption and chaos. Parents and children tear-gassed. Moms and nurses, U.S. citizens getting shot. Now that you’re gone, don’t think you get to just walk away. You will still be held accountable.
Governor Pritzker
Lawmakers focused on the corruption in DHS, which now commands more than $150 billion thanks to the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Lawmakers referred to a November 2025 ProPublica story of reporters tracing a $220 million contract for an ad campaign featuring Noem.

Noem'd lawlessness and corruption represented the larger lawlessness and corruption of the Trump administration.

Days after Trump launched a major military operation in the Middle East without consulting Congress, angry lawmakers of both parties exposed the lawlessness and corruption taking place in the department under Noem’s direction.

The Williamson County Republican Party chair admitted that while she could explain why they had made the change, “at the end of the day, it’s because we can. It’s legal. It’s something we’re entitled to do, and it’s something that our party would like us to do.”
Heather Cox Richardson
Local GOP officials in Dallas and Williamson counties changed the location of election precincts for Democratic voters, without notice, while keeping Republican precinct locations the same. Republicans have even given up trying to justify this and are playing bare-knuckle politics as usual.
Jay Kuo
Trump hasn't endorsed either Republican candidate, though ideologically and spiritually Paxton is a more natural fit, while Cornyn has been critical of some of Trump’s policies. Trump’s silence is a tacit acknowledgement that backing the wrong candidate now could prove to be costly later

Judge Richard K. Eaton of the United States Court of International Trade in Manhattan ordered the Trump administration to begin refunding more than $130 billion in tariffs that were invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court last month.

Thousands of American citizens are now stranded across the Middle East because the Trump regime did not bother to plan their evacuation.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'
people.com/trump-says-i...
This administration continues to operate. It’s the same way that Trump always has. It’s a despicable mixture of kleptocracy (government corruption) and kakistocracy (government incompetence), unleashed on Americans by the man who claimed, “I alone can fix it.” But we all know he can’t.
Joyce Vance
Trump has given Noem a new job as a buh-bye present. Something about the Shield of America. I’ll leave it to others to make the Marvel Universe jokes. But you have to ask why he’d fire her as the Secretary, under a cloud of allegations, just to give her another taxpayer funded job.
Joyce Vance
Noem was fired in a Truth Social post that Trump sent while she was speaking publicly. She appeared to be taken by surprise.
This administration is reality TV, not responsible governance.

The U.S. is low on weapons not because it has helped to supply Ukraine, but because it blew through 25 percent of its stockpile in a few days of operations against Iran in June 2025. The U.S. military used $200 million worth of munitions in attacks on the Houthis in Yemen.
Heather Cox Richardson
Trump’s illegal war is rapidly depleting “stockpiles of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors that are critical for national security priorities elsewhere around the globe.” Trump is weakening US defenses across the globe by firing missiles at a furious pace in Iran.

One would hope that Democrats would vote against supplemental appropriations to fund a war that has not been authorized by Congress. Surprisingly, several Democrats in the Senate have suggested that they might support funding for a war they oppose.
Robert Hubbell
Trump will ask for a supplemental appropriation of $50 billion to pay for the war against Iran in the short term. Although it is difficult to provide precise daily costs, an online, real-time tracker based on DOD data estimates that sustained operations run at $220 million per day.
Robert Hubbell
The Senate’s failure to assert control over Trump’s ongoing conduct of an undeclared war will have far-reaching consequences.
Robert Hubbell
If the motion had succeeded, Trump would have been required to end hostilities in 60 days or seek approval by the Senate to extend hostilies. Democrat John Fetterman voted against the motion, and Republican Rand Paul voted for it.
Robert Hubbell
Senate rejects War Powers resolution, giving Trump free rein to continue illegal war on Iran.

The news that there are extensive gaps suggests the department is covering up for individuals involved in Epstein’s crimes. We know at least one of the missing files contains allegations that Trump sexually assaulted a thirteen-year-old girl.
