Republican Senator Greenlights Russ Vought’s Latest Impoundment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday afternoon, TPM’s Emine Yücel got word that Senate Democrats would hold a vote on a bill that would block Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought’s latest bid to impound almost a billion dollars. Congress had appropriated the funds and President Trump had signed that appropriations bill into law, but the administration later deemed the funding too woke, finding that it helped immigrants, met its contorted definition of “DEI,” or was otherwise unacceptable. Congress, of cour
5 Points About a Senator’s Disastrous But Hilarious Attempt to Accuse Jack Smith of Perjury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By now, I assume you’ve read about what happened. Maybe you’ve seen the video. But yesterday was one of those rare days we used to have often maybe 15 years ago, when the political media world, and social media sites — even the site formerly known as Twitter — were all having fun with the same thing.

Overnight, U.S. district court judge Timothy Kelly granted the temporary restraining order sought by three news organizations — MS NOW, Politico and CNN — that President Donald Trump had “banned” from the White House. Kelly, a first-term Trump appointee, found that the White House’s assertion that the stories either “threatened national security and/or spread falsehoods,” left open “the possibility that all the stories fall into the later bucket, rather than the former.” The news organizations,
Other Presidents Have Let White‑Collar Criminals Dodge Financial Penalties—But Not Like Trump (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news analysis. It was originally published at The Conversation. President Donald Trump loves a good pardon. His generosity is so well known, in fact, that an industry of lobbyists, lawyers and other insiders has reportedly sprung up to facilitate clemency for wealthy criminals. Clemency, meaning mercy or leniency, lets the president reduce the punishment for, or even forgive, federal crimes. For defendants hoping to avoid jail and walk
