I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

Bad enough to kick a reporter out. Worse to lie about it. Worse still to smear the reporter involved by a) accusing her of fabulism — a career-ending accusation — and b) falsely claiming she’s been sued for defamation
Not dramatic enough? There’s audio:

The DOJ is receiving criticism for removing, then replacing, a photo of Howard Lutnick on Epstein's Island from the Epstein Files.
This comes after new reports of Lutnick and Epstein's close years-long relationship after Epstein's child sex crimes conviction.

(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase The Washington Post's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive.
The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead.

Trump is working hard to set/reinforce a frame that connects immigration, financial fraud, & election fraud. He and the right wing propaganda machine will keep producing “evidence” to fit this frame, then use it to justify attempts to suppress voters, kick voters off rolls, and delegitimize results.
This hasn’t received nearly enough attention:
Republicans just passed a law to pack Utah’s Supreme Court after it ruled against their congressional gerrymander.
Cox could appoint two more justices before the court hears the GOP’s latest appeal to preserve their gerrymander
Breaking news: A man attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) while she was speaking during a town hall meeting in Minneapolis, spraying an unknown liquid at her, according to police.
She appeared unharmed and kept speaking. https://wapo.st/4rgMk3J
Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.
The NSF just released a "dear colleague" asking for ideas to inform its plans to restructure the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
This includes proposals to repurpose NCAR's Mesa Lab, an architectural icon below the Boulder Flatirons, for "private use."

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…
“We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”
Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...
A White House spokesperson said Trump’s response was “appropriate.”
What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?
A headline to sum up our times:
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
