The Texas Progressive Alliance salutes Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (or "Speaker Pelosi", as we call her) airport workers
using their labor powers for getting Donald Trump to fold in the shutdown fight
as it brings you this week's roundup. (This outpost already called bullshit on
“Pelosi did it” on Friday evening, Mr. Kuff. Sorry.*)
Off the
Kuff kept up with the Census lawsuit
news, now being fought in two courts.
