Acosta will arrive at the top post with relatively little clear record on some of the top issues facing the administration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is poised to confirm Alex Acosta as secretary of labor, filling out President Donald Trump’s cabinet as he approaches his 100th day in office.

“Sean was referring to deductions,” White House spokesperson Natalie Strom told TPM. “Retirement savings is an exemption not a deduction.”

The White House on Thursday quickly corrected reports that it was proposing changes to the tax treatment of 401(k) retirement plans. The confusion seemed to arise from CNBC’s Eamon Javers, who asked White House spokesperson Sean Spicer during his daily press briefing about the Trump administration’s...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Government scientists launched an investigation Thursday into an unusually large number of humpback whale deaths from North Carolina to Maine, the first such “unusual mortality event” declaration in a decade.

The citywide tax would provide an estimated $7.5M in its first year to expand early childhood education to roughly 1,000 children whose families cannot afford quality preschool.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — It’s being pitched as an educational lifeline for impoverished preschool-aged children and condemned as the latest example of local government overreach sweeping progressive cities from coast to coast. Voters in New Mexico’s capital city have until Tuesday to decide whether to…

“The influence of dollars on this place is what scares me. I think it ultimately threatens democracy,” said Warren.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Thursday that she is “troubled” by reports that former President Barack Obama agreed to speak for $400,000 at a conference run by an investment bank. “I was troubled by that,” Warren said on SiriusXM show Alter Family Politics. “The influence of dollars on this plac...

The bill would allow Texas to withhold funding from county and local governments for acting as sanctuary cities.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas House approved a strict ban on “sanctuary cities” Thursday, empowering local police to enforce federal immigration law against anyone they detain and threatening police chiefs and sheriffs who refuse to do so with jail. A late tweak backed by some of the chamber’s most...

This is the fourth instance of the federal government sanitizing or otherwise erasing information on global warming from its websites.

At some point between Feb. 25 and April 26, the Department of the Interior scrubbed nearly any mention of climate change from its webpage on the topic. What was once a vigorous endorsement of the scientific consensus that the Earth is warming as a result of human activity — “Climate change affects e...

“The upshot is that President Trump and House hardliners both have fairly narrow and selfish interests in pushing this through the House, just not one tied to any likelihood of actually becoming law.”

This piece by TPM’s Tierney Sneed is really a must read for understanding the current situation with Trumpcare 2.0. The key issue is that this exercise is really not about passing a law that repeals or in some limited sense replaces Obamacare. It’s really about getting the Freedom Caucus (the far-ri...

Sean Spicer is playing a Michael Flynn-themed game of hot potato.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Thursday blamed former President Barack Obama’s administration for insufficiently vetting President Donald Trump’s embattled former national security adviser Michael Flynn, amid new questions about Flynn’s apparent failure to disclose payments he accepted f...

“Is the White House covering up? Of course they are. Maybe it’s because they know the truth is that explosive. Or maybe it’s because they simply don’t know what a real investigation would find.”

In early March, as part of my “Innocent Explanation” series, I discussed what I called the Mailer Standard. You can read the full background here. But the gist is that sometimes people cover up not because they know they’re guilty but because they don’t know. They don’t know whether they’re guilty o...

Trump unleashed a tweetstorm against Democrats as the deadline to fund the government fast approaches.

President Donald Trump tried a new negotiating strategy on Wednesday as the deadline looms to avert a government shutdown: posting a series of scattered, incoherent tweets attacking Democrats, whose support Republicans need to keep the lights on. Trump claimed that Democrats are guilty of “bailing o...

The Treasury Secretary was decidedly evasive when asked about how the tax plan would affect the middle class and Trump’s own tax returns.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Thursday could not guarantee that middle class families would not pay more under the White House’s detail-free tax proposal. Mnuchin evaded the question multiple times in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “This is about middle-income tax cuts,” Mnuchi...
