Google might reshuffle search results to try to dodge fines in the EU Google is planning to test changes to how it displays search results for certain topics, nearly a year after it was charged with violating antitrust rules in the European Union, Reuters reports. The shift will show top-ranked rival services for hotels, flights, restaurants, and transportation higher up in results, rather than prioritizing Google’s own services like Google Flights. It will be rolling out soon “across Europe,” starting with results for lodgings, with “flights and other services” following later.

You may not know Rick Steves’ politics yet, but watch this. He is spot on. He reads a list of the Nazi playbook & goes point by point against what Trump has done.
He said:
US needs solidarity
Political left needs the middle
Protest
We are patriots

If healthcare in this country is “so great,” why am I as a physician trained in infectious diseases on my third round of appeals with an insurance company for a medication my patient with a rare disease desperately needs?

This is infuriating.
It’s a waste of time.
And it hurts patients.

States sue over federal childhood vaccine recommendation changes Over a dozen states sued the Trump administration for rolling back vaccine recommendations for children, which the officials argued pose a health risk to Americans. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. d…

Mother with legal permission to live in US was deported less than 24 hours after her green card hearing, despite chronicling 27 years in California—her high school diploma, years of tax filings, vaccine records and paperwork showing she had repeatedly obtained federal permission to remain in the US.

At least 40 Congressional Democrats are skipping Trump’s State of the Union tonight

The number is rising

Here’s your morning mood, courtesy Alex Grey.

1. On January 23, Crypto.com donated $5 million to MAGA Inc, Trump's primary Super PAC. (The donation was first disclosed in a FEC filing Friday night.)

Less than 1 month later, on February 17, the Trump administration intervened on Crypto.com's behalf in a high-stakes federal lawsuit.

Woah

On Joy and Resistance | dansinker.com

Yesterday I wrote a short piece about the radical joy in Alysa Liu's gold-medal-winning skate and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show and how art and joy is a threat to authoritarians. It's resonated with a lot of folks, maybe also with you. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

ICE whistleblower comes forward to testify before Congress Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

Breaking MS NOW:

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

Data Centers Are the Enemy We’ve All Been Waiting For The startling rapidity of the bottom-up revolt against Big Tech shows people will indeed get off the sofa for the right fight.

Scientists found a way to plant ideas in dreams to boost creativity Most people have heard the advice to "sleep on it" when faced with a tough decision. New research suggests that guidance may be grounded in science. While many people report breakthrough ideas emerging from dreams, researchers have struggled to test this phenomenon because dreams are difficult to control in a lab setting. A new study from neuroscientists at Northwestern University shows that it is possible to influence what people dream about. The findings support the idea that REM sleep, the rapid eye movement stage of sleep when vivid and sometimes lucid dreams occur, may be especially helpful for creative problem solving.
