I forgot that I had not yet posted my Northern light photos from last night. I lucked out and had another fantastic viewing. I didn't have a fancy camera this time and it was so cold I hated taking my mitten off to take a picture, but I got a few.

“With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike. It is so ORDERED.”
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

A Mexican immigrant was taken to a hospital after bones in his face & skull were broken while in federal custody. ICE said he tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall," but hospital staffers said that couldn't explain fractures & bleeding throughout his brain.

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

In all seriousness, has anyone ever seen a modeling shot of Melania other than those very amateurish shots when she was 17 & those nude shots from the mid-1990s? Like, anything at all? Sears catalog? A professional headshot from a modeling agency?
I hope someday someone does a real Melania biography. Her youth in communist Slovenia. Her "modeling" career (some amateur teen snaps & sleazy nudes are all I've ever seen...)The murky origins of her relationship with Trump, via Epstein. Her reaction to Stormy Daniel, etc
There's a story there

We're looking at a 6-bill shutdown that likely lasts until Monday unless the House descends into chaos.
Upon enactment, all of the govt EXCEPT DHS will have full-year funding. DHS funding expires February 14 (tho ICE & CBP continue in a DHS shutdown). At that point, we will be fighting JUST on DHS.

I'm opposed to the death penalty, so I am not sorry that death penalty charges have been dropped against Luigi Mangione.
But I really don't get why anyone is cheering him on and hoping he's released. He murdered a stranger in cold blood. He should be in prison forever.
Block me. I don't care.
