Congress has worked so few hours this year that lawmakers wouldn't even meet the Medicaid work requirements they passed.

Bloomberg News: “President Donald Trump has traded more securities than every member of Congress combined since he returned to office — even as he seeks to pass a stock-purchasing ban for lawmakers that would exclude him from any restrictions.” https://t.co/JrceBFwQDv

Federal employees were paid $9.5 billion not to work in 2025 under DOGE.

As part of the Trump-Musk DOGE program to shrink the federal work force, paid administrative leave costs rose by 435%.

PATEL: The previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual who participated in either side of it

KENNEDY: Either side of beastiality? So you disqualified the animal?

PATEL: Well, we have great canines, but we're not going to disqualify them

KENNEDY: I'm trying to understand why you did this. Why did you get into beastiality?

Your periodic (and increasingly urgent) reminder that the Trump administration has now inked dozens of equity deals - 32 by our latest count - with no clear legal authority or precedent and nary a peep from Congress.

Scoop: The FBI asked Federal Air Marshals to covertly monitor former congressman Eric Swalwell during an international flight, to see if they could visually ascertain the passcodes to his electronic devices.

Nothing like a little irony here in Iowa. In a game built, in part, around the story of Shoeless Joe Jackson and his second chance after being banned as part of the Black Sox scandal, there are gambling ads in each outfield corner.

Internal National Park Service records shared with us:

2024 - $7 million allotted for White House grounds projects and upgrades

2026 - $323 million allotted for White House grounds projects and upgrades

Pretty simple. The right is constantly inventing totally crazy scenarios of gotcha moments that won’t happen to create a sense of hysteria.

Here are the facts:
— A trans woman has never played in the WNBA. In 30 years.

— Trans women are barred from competing in women’s sports in the NCAA and the Olympics.

— 29 states have banned trans girls participation in women’s sports K-12.

— The Supreme Court ruled states can exclude trans girls from participating in women’s sports.

Y’all won. Y’all got it. So why is the right still crying and whining about an argument that is backed by law and policy at virtually every level?

Wait, I have an answer. They want to erase trans existence period and no amount of exclusion, degradation, or denigration will ever be good enough for them.

SO they create these dumb, illogical, stupid-ass scenarios because there actually isn’t enough there for them to make a salient point. It’s fear-mongering bullshit that is designed to create a hostile environment for trans people. It’s weak.

The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April."
