Judge Amy Berman Jackson has formally dismissed the case of Jan. 6 defendant DJ Rodriguez, who drove a taser into the neck of MPD officer Michael Fanone and had been sentenced to 12 years in prison "Michael Fanone's heroism will never be moot," she says. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Notice every Republican official addressing the media today (re: the DC airplane collision) go out of their way to make a positive mention of Trump. They know he's watching. Even in the face of terrible tragedy, they're all dancing for his favor. It's a North Korean level of sycophancy.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

A version of Christianity that tramples the poor and marginalized in favor of the rich and powerful is a religion completely at odds with the teachings of Jesus.

Jimmy Carter didn’t sell Bibles with his name on them, claim to be God’s appointed leader, or promise to make Christianity great again. He lived out his faith through love and service by pursuing peace worldwide, teaching Sunday school, and building 4,447 homes with Habitat for Humanity.

If anyone should care, here's a little about me. I live in North Louisiana, a very red part of the state. I am decidedly blue in my thought. One of the most important things we have are our rights. The right to our own thoughts, beliefs, and principles. Once those have been lost, it's too late.
