A member of the US Air Force died by self immolation this weekend. He lit himself on fire, in uniform, in front of the Israeli embassy in DC. There’s a video but I don’t think I can bring myself to watch it. His last words were reported to be “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” And “free Palestine.”

If you can find the clip on Tik tok from NBC New York the reaction is phenomenal.

Yeah, it’s basically the Wild West here. Kill an innocent bystander because someone looked at you, go on your merry way. I hate it here.

Schumer told a gaggle of reporters that Mike Johnson told him and POTUS that he is totally committed to avoiding a shutdown. Fetch the lettuce!

The look on MVPs face brings me great joy. She’s the only one in that photo having any fun. And she’s having all of it.

Christine Blasey Ford has a book coming out in March all about the lead up to her senate hearing and her experience with it all. For any of you who read and might be interested.
