So... Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) asked the 4 nominees in this hearing a simple question -- if Trump directed you to break the law, would you follow the law or follow the president's directive? -- and not one could just say they'd follow the law.

My gut sense here is that Rs didn't think this would become an issue, then got pot committed to a terrible precedent just so they won't admit they were wrong.
Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

While Turin is known as the “Detroit of Italy”, and home to the largest car manufacturer in the country, there is a tacit understanding its heart is no place for motor vehicles.

"[P]olice body-slammed teens to the ground, punched them, used Tasers or pointed guns at girls. None of these teenagers were armed ... [The CDC] estimates that [US ERs] treated 21,000 people under the age of 18 for nonfatal injuries at the hands of police and security guards from 2015 through 2019."
A 9-year-old pepper sprayed in handcuffs, crying for her dad. A teenager wrestled to the ground, and another pepper sprayed while waiting for the bus.

All were Black girls hurt by police.

The disappearing of people by other people that are either employed by the government, or just simply cosplaying to get off on it is just so beyond fucked up. More than half the country including a majority of politicians are just like, hell yeah. We are so beyond fucked. We need more than protests.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
