From AP: Forty people were reported killed at a girls’ school in southern Iran in the Israeli-U.S. strikes, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency. At least 45 others were wounded in the attack in Minab in Iran’s Hormozgan province. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on reported strike on the school.
WSJ article about the sad life of Kristi Noem: In recent days, Noem has made appeals to Republicans to write op-eds backing her, according to people familiar with the matter. In one such op-ed, titled “America Needs Kristi Noem’s Leadership,” published in Newsweek on Jan. 29, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, an ally of Noem’s who attended her swearing-in ceremony, praised the secretary’s role in helping states prepare for the recent winter storm. The DHS spokeswoman said Noem didn’t ask for supporters to write op-eds.

@mtruscello.bsky.social: Dear liberals: Trump is escalating this fascist insurgency, no matter what you do. Stop telling people to remain passive. Trump is building detention centers, arming ICE agents, and changing laws to give them impunity. Holding a parade every other month is not going to stop this.
From Wikipedia Extraterritoriality: Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions sometimes do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are generally not sovereign territory of the represented state. The sending state can give embassies sovereign status, but this only happens with a minority of countries.[13] Rather, the premises of an embassy remain under the jurisdiction of the host state while being afforded special privileges (such as immunity from most local laws) by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Diplomats themselves still retain full diplomatic immunity, and (as an adherent to the Vienna Convention) the authorities of the host country may not enter the premises of the mission (which means the head of mission's residence) without permission of the represented country. However consent may be assumed in cases of fire or other disaster requiring prompt protective action.[14] International rules designate an attack on an embassy as an attack on the country it represents.[15] The term 'extraterritoriality' is often applied to diplomatic missions, but normally only in this broader sense.

And the Bluesky community weirdly seems to view the Muppet Christmas Carol as the best adaptation. I enjoyed the Muppet Show, but doesn’t matter who plays Scrooge, I'm not going to take the story seriously with a puppet frog and pig in lead roles.

Abughazaleh relocated to Chicagos Streeterville neighborhood, which is in the 5th congressional district, from New York last July. She plans to move into the adjacent 9th district by this summer, Weinberg said.
"Anyone in the District interested in running can reach out to my campaign directly at hello@katforillinois.com and we will give you the support you need to run against me. )No, I'm not kidding!)
That said I have mixed feelings at *best* about Kat Abughazaleh primarying Schakowsky because Abughazaleh comes off as fundamentally an unserious outsider who also targeted a congresswoman implicitly for being Jewish, but this is an admirable retirement
"I think this might have been another attempt by MAGAs cosplaying as leftists to destroy the Democratic party."

On Thursday, at a meeting in the White House, Bessent confronted Musk and, a source said, "the F bombs started to fly." Bessent criticized Musk for overpromising and under-delivering budget cuts with DOGE. Musk clapped back by calling Bessent a "Soros agent" and accusing him of having run "a failed hedge fund." (Trump has praised Bessent's financial acumen.) The argument was so heated that an aide stepped in between the two men to separate them.
NPR article "I'm sorry, but there is no defense for this poorly worded statement," wrote Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, a prominent anti-vaccine activist who once claimed during a legislative hearing in Ohio that the COVID vaccine could cause patients to become magnetized, allowing them to stick "spoons and forks" all over their bodies.
