Media are missing this if they don't include it. Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk. But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause. ⬇️Key para⬇️

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 The acting Social Security commissioner has left the agency after a clash over providing DOGE access to sensitive data It follows our reporting that DOGE is seeking access to personal financial data at the IRS for every taxpayer, business and nonprofit.

Cool to see all these people in one place but the show is very meh so far #SNL50

I love Philly

Fun fact: Americans STRONGLY oppose politicization of the civil servants, with 90% believing "Civil servants should serve the people more than any individual president." This study* from the Partnership is excellent and expands on this point (*I started). ourpublicservice.org/publications...

Seems timely.

Pensacola Florida gets it

Great read. Woj is a real hooper www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/m...

CC Sabathia is also a 1st ballot hall of famer for hat tilting. No low profile needed for this noggin.

Love this.

Turns out there might be a higher being after all?

I hope the progressive movement does not dismiss members like Rep. Torres solely bc of his views on the Middle East. There’s so much value here, even if you disagree with him on certain issues.

Story on Ben Johnson to the Bears, a pairing of the best offensive mind available and the franchise desperate for a good offense www.nytimes.com/athletic/606...

Have transgendered athletes been kicked off their high school sports teams yet? I know that was a critical issue for millions of people.

Guessing that Dana White did not fully appreciate sitting behind an actual American hero named Barack Obama.

Vance is one of the biggest frauds in DC and woefully unqualified for this gig.

Mitch McConnell looks exactly like someone that could have stopped a calamitous threat to democracy but then did nothing.

At this point it’s unclear if you’d rather have the Chinese Government or Elon Musk/Kevin O’Leary running TikTok.

Just fyi “Ain’t No Fun” by Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg is finally accessible on Apple Music.

Pretty incredible how Congressional members from red states that have long benefited from CA income taxes are now demanding conditions to disaster aid.

Yes. Her husband should do the same. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I knew that Onion article provocation went too far.

time is a flat circle

Now this is just getting ridiculous.

bruce springsteen hearing that there's a second chicken man in philly

Unserious people deserve unserious leadership.

Holy cow. Just woke up to this view from mid-Wilshire looking downtown

No repercussions. Shameful.

Mile after Magnificent Mile.

The best possible outcome today is that 102-year-old Virginia McCaskey gets so angry at the game that she removes her son George from the organization. Sorry George.

notre dame's first playoff or BCS-level bowl win since 1993. notre dame's first playoff or BCS-level bowl win *not under a coach who campaigned for jesse helms while helms was trying to prevent MLK Day from becoming a federal holiday* since 1978

The Dylan film is very good and highly entertaining, but I wanted more dialogue, especially from the Joan Baez character. And at times it was frustrating not to delve more into his childhood, but that seemed very purposeful to focus on the specific early 60s period and maintain his mysteriousness.

Any parents that take their children to Times Square for new years should be immediately reported

I’ve gifted my son my old Starting Lineup collection. For unknown reasons it includes Dale Murphy, Tim Raines, and Pedro Guerrero.

It was the day after Christmas And we all had a grand time Nobody cares about the Bears But tonight they’re on Amazon Prime

Uncle Frank in Home Alone is a terrible person. If he was staying in my house and callled my son a jerk, his ass would’ve been waiting on the nearest Metra platform. Meanwhile, Mr McCallister just stands there frozen while his brother bodies Kevin. It’s sadistic.

Upon further review, “The Holiday” is dated and pretty terrible.

A front page for the ages.
