On hold:

Amid threats of a Republican hold on Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis, President Obama has asked a top department official to serve as Acting Labor Secretary until she's confirmed. Edward Hugler, currently the deputy assistant secretary for administration, has spent more than 30 years in a variety of functions in the department.

Solis's fate is unclear. ...

Meanwhile, we turn the Department of Commerce over to... those same Republicans.

Garcon, more oatmeal raisin cookies!
