Screen shot from the NYTimes mobile app with a photo of Anna Wintour reading: YOU'RE HIRED! 30/32 (score) This way to the fashion closet. Please note that there was no need for you to take this quiz if: You went to prep school with the child of a Condé editor. You're the son or daughter of an ambassador. You have a posh British accent. You are Sofia Coppola.

I'm sorry... Dr. Phil is tagging along on ICE raids?

Feds start making immigration arrests across Chicago area: Live updates chicago.suntimes.com/live/ice-rai...
Media personality Dr. Phil posted on X that he is embedded with Homan for an ICE operation in the city, and that footage would be on his streaming service MeritTV.

Screen cap of a message on the TikTok app that reads: Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned! Learn more Close app

lol can always count on a little low-key snark in NYT stories about the WaPo and its subscriber numbers
www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/b...
A screen capture of text from a New York Times article that reads: The slide deck compares the 200 million target with efforts to land a man on the moon — and it is an ambitious goal: The Post currently has fewer than three million digital subscribers; The Times, an industry leader, has roughly 11 million.

As his term winds down, Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Bob Casey will deliver his farewell speech on the Senate floor today at 3:30 p.m.

www.senate.gov/legislative/...
A screen shot of Sen. Bob Casey's website that reads: Thank you for visiting my website. My term in office ends on January 2, 2025, and the orderly shutdown of my office's operations has begun. If you need immediate or ongoing assistance with the federal government, you can contact Senator John Fetterman or your Congressperson in the House of Representatives. The people of Pennsylvania have granted me the privilege of serving them in statewide office for 28 consecutive years: as Auditor General, State Treasurer, and United States Senator. During that time, I have been guided by an inscription on the Finance Building in Harrisburg: “All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor.” Thank you for the trust you have placed in me for all these years. It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve our Commonwealth and our country. Bob Casey.

this is a key point about third parties in US politics: to have any impact in elections beyond playing spoiler they must win at the local level, like the Working Families Party did in Philadelphia
a screen capture that reads: “My party—the Working Families Party—has done something very few independent parties have been able to do: win at both the state and local level. In Philadelphia, where the City Council reserves two seats for a minority party, we ran against Republicans and swept them out. Now, decisions are negotiated not between Democrats and Republicans, but between Democrats and the Working Families Party. It’s allowed us to win, for example, a landmark eviction diversion program that keeps tens of thousands of people in their homes every year and has made Philadelphia an outlier when it comes to national eviction trends.”
