EXCLUSIVE: Senate Democrats are pressing the Trump administration over delays in renewing DACA-recipients' status. I found at least four cases of ICE arrests of DACA holders with pending renewals. notus.org/immigration/se…

Trump’s tariffs were ruled illegal. Our @Ashley__Murray set out to explain how billions in dollars will be refunded; she found it is slowly coming to light in court documents. Nearly 2,000 companies have filed suit for tariff refunds in the U.S. Court of International Trade.

NEW: The federal workforce shrank 10% in Trump's first year back in office, according to a @pewresearch analysis of more than 2 million individual employment records from OPM. Analysis looks at employment trends at individual departments and agencies: pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

AMAZING AWARD NIGHT: On Thursday night our @JenniferShutt received the esteemed Dirksen Award--like the Pulitzer for covering Congress--from the National Press Foundation @NatPress. I can't begin to say what this means for our small States Newsroom DC Bureau. Yay Jenn!

@LauraJedeed Important to note that that survey relied on an online opt-in panel. That approach can produce misleading results for young adults, as described here: pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

As of today, 30 states, including DC, have announced that they are no longer going to follow CDC's recommendations for some or all childhood vaccines. kff.org/other-health/s…

@Brendan_Duke I don’t like the new default to OneDrive. I’ve never stored anything on my desktop — I make folders under C for various purposes (and use Google docs /sheets if I want cloud — MS cloud implementation is not good)

Feel like I should be able to upload my birthday to Microsoft Word and, seeing that I was born before 2000, it assumes I want to save documents on my desktop.

"The Slow Climb: How Tariffs Gradually Raised Retail Prices in 2025" via @federalreserve federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/… "consumers are in fact paying higher retail prices because of tariffs" 😮

@j_la28 @IRE_NICAR JLa! Sorry to miss you. Next year!

Thank you @IRE_NICAR for a wonderful #NICAR26! Hope you get some well-deserved rest.

NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings. Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce. politico.com/news/2026/03/0…

Months after Florida's Surgeon General announced a plan to remove all vaccine mandates from state law, a watered-down version of his proposal is dead. tampabay.com/news/florida-p…

Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Cato’s Dan Greenberg. ow.ly/PiYw50YqcO0

Under the radar: the annual population adjustment to the household survey is a much bigger deal than I expected. The adjustment both lowered the population and shifted the population older. LFPR and EPOP were adjusted down by .4 and .5 points. Big.

WOW. This man was granted a status giving a path to a green card. He was living lawfully with a work permit while he waited for a visa. ICE randomly arrested him while searching for someone else, then jailed him and is now trying to deport him for NO reason other than they can.

In Los Angeles County immigration courts, no-shows made up 56% of the asylum hearings in January, compared with 14% a year earlier. latimes.com/politics/story…

A lot of people are understandably commenting on the lack of an exit strategy and a war of attrition. But seems like the biggest question is how long until Trump loses interest? Because that is probably how this will end.
