BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that Trump loyalist Sigal Chattah has been unlawfully serving as Nevada’s U.S. Attorney since July. Chattah and her office are now barred from prosecuting cases — the second Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney disqualified within 2 months after Alina Habba in NJ.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Small point about the coverage of Hegseth’s stupid convening: Trump has not “renamed” the Department of Defense something else. He *calls* it that. If I started calling the president “Adolf,” one would not say that I had “renamed him Adolf.” He has no more authority to rename DOD than I do him.

We all agree that we're not watching the inauguration, right? I would love for this to be the least watched inauguration since the invention of television. I'm going to be rewatching Dr Who, starting with season 1 of the modern era. What will you be watching?

It’s not that we can’t afford universal health care. It’s that we can’t afford not to do it. #MedicareForAll We pay the most, but our life expectancy does not reflect it. 🇺🇸 Notably: None of the countries with Universal Health Care have decided to get rid of it.

Worth boosting…

The image is an informational graphic titled "If ICE Comes to Your Door," created by the ACLU of Alabama. It outlines key rights and actions to take if ICE agents arrive. The graphic includes four main points:

1. **Ask for a warrant**: If they do not have one signed by a judge, you can refuse entry.
2. **Do not open the door**: Keep the door closed unless ICE shows a judicial search or arrest warrant.
3. **If agents force entry**: State that you do not consent to their entry and wish to speak with a lawyer.
4. **Do not lie or show false documents**: Avoid signing any papers without legal advice.

The design features icons and clear text for easy understanding, with a blue and white color scheme.

I haven't been able to settle into watching anything lately and of course I'm avoiding the news for my mental health at the moment, so I decided to go back to an old favorite and watch Midsomer Murders from the beginning. I forgot how absolutely wack the first season was!

In 1966, Nicolae Ceausescu implemented Decree 770, banning contraception and abortion. His aim was to increase Romania's population and thus, grow a workforce. The consequences were catastrophic.

Trump is lying. This has nothing to do with fentanyl. There are zero reduction targets & no metrics of any kind specified. This is a power move to show he will dial tariffs up or down as he pleases to get what he wants. But Mexico will respond. Your adversary gets a turn, Donald. Count on it.

Keeping religion out of public schools is reasonable. People are free to practice their faith peacefully outside of public institutions. Teaching religious history, of all religions, is suitable in middle/high school?
