NEW: Arkansas bars public officials who've been appointed by the governor to seek a full term for their position.

The 2 justices appointed by Governor Sanders are using a way around that — they're just running for each other's seats.

I wrote on Arkansas' supreme court races coming up in March:
Conservatives Play Musical Chairs to “Cement” Majority on Arkansas High Court - Bolts
How seat-switching, plus a new state law, is helping gubernatorial appointees reap the benefits of incumbency before they’ve earned it from voters.

Happening now: a large group of rabbis and Jewish demonstrators have gathered outside of ICE headquarters in DC to stage a protest.

Organizers are handing out song sheets — and whistles.

I studied the Brontes in college and even got to go on a trip where we visited Haworth and hiked across the moors and yes, I do know what Wuthering Heights is really about but also: I just wanna watch Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi be hot, ok.

Just made pimiento cheese and texted my husband that he is allowed to eat 50% of it. (Some of you may remember last summer's Great Pimiento Cheese Crashout.)

Monday Etta had to unexpectedly run a mile in health class for the fucking Presidential Physical Fitness Test, which is back. She was given no warning so she ran the mile in cargo jeans and platform converse, on an empty stomach (she is not a breakfast eater). God 8th grade sucks.

How much money did the state pay them this time? (Yes, I will still be excited if they recognize my workplace because it will be good for business, not because I think Michelin is a respectable organization.)

Under marching orders from Trump, Pam Bondi has been aggressively seeking death sentences, trying to undo decisions where Biden's DOJ previously chose not to seek the death penalty against specific defendants. My latest @theintercept.com:
Pam Bondi Is Pushing Death Sentences for People Spared By Her Predecessor
Trump’s AG is ramping up death penalty prosecutions, targeting defendants previously told they wouldn’t face execution.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Colo. Sen. Michael Bennet (D) is claiming credit for spending projects he voted against. Bennet said he couldn't support other issues in the bills.

Unlike Rep Lauren Boebert (R), who's done the same, Bennet wouldn't say if he still would have voted NO if he was the deciding vote

Moderate Democratic state lawmakers joined Republicans Monday night to defeat a bill that would have strengthened local Colorado governments’ authority to tax vacant residential properties.

Before we give @colorado.gov credit: he didn't refuse to attend, he was disinvited. And after all that toadying up to the Trump administration, praising RFK, wooing Palantir's evil surveillance corp to build their HQ here, and breaking state law to collaborate with ICE??? I'd think he'd be welcome!
No way will I attend the White House dinner with this President.

I’m standing with @govwesmoore.bsky.social and @colorado.gov — and standing against Trump’s corruption and hatred.

And I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do the same.

More than a half dozen Democrats said Donald Trump disinviting two of their colleagues is the latest example of administration's 'chaos and division.'
