Depressing little anniversary.
- The Supreme Court hears oral arguments this morning as to whether Colorado can kick Trump off the ballot for having engaged in insurrection. I think they will ultimately side with Trump but they are going to have to make something up to get around text. Not only did he engage in insurrection, but he dang sure "gave aid or comfort" to those storming the capitol -- and continues to do so to this day.
- The man has a point.
- It seems like old times to drop bombs on Iraq again.
- This story out of Denton is a little difficult to follow because it is unclear if the judge dismissed the case because of discovery violations (a remedy which is pretty much unheard of) or if he dismissed the case for a Speedy Trial violation. This part proved that: "The Denton County District Attorney’s Office plans to appeal the ruling, First Assistant District Attorney Jamie Beck told the Record-Chronicle. Beck said it was her understanding that the ruling had more to do with a speedy trial violation." The judge was Steve Burgess. That's a pretty bold ruling to come out of Denton.
- I'll sadly have to say it again: No one crashes more aircraft than the U.S. military.
- Wild. "EAST LANSDOWNE, Pa. - Law enforcement has yet to enter a crime scene in East Lansdowne more than 12 hours after officers came under fire, and a blaze erupted inside a house where officials say 6–8 people are still unaccounted for."
- It was 24 years old Des Champs, who calls himself the “Pro-Life Spider-Man.”
- It's behind a paywall, but the Dallas Morning News has a big feature on the former Dallas D.A. This sentence got my attention: "That first year, she never left her Lakewood home except to visit her doctor or therapist. Even after electroconvulsive therapy pulled her out of her suicidal spiral, medication failed to shake her deep depression."
- I only saw this story because a Texas rep referenced it on social media. I found the original New York Times story about the statute and there's nothing "satanic" about it all. People look for things to be outraged about.
- It's February 8th. I'll take this every February:
