“Government does things to make people healthier, Republicans call it bad.” Got it.
California now requires corn masa flour to contain folic acid to reduce birth defects among Latinos. Public health officials have lauded these efforts, but some conservatives say it’s another form of government overreach.
California is adding a supplement to tortillas. RFK Jr. calls it ‘insanity’.

In notable but quieter news, the Republican Senators and Reps who broke from Trump in the votes this week is the clearest sign of his inevitable lame duck era being on the horizon. Small breaks but I’d imagine a trend of more to come.

I guess my first question is…. Why do we still have a facility open known for child abuse?
A Post investigation found that the Office of Refugee Resettlement, or ORR, has locked some teenage migrant boys inside Abraxas Academy, a secure juvenile prison with a long and publicly documented history of staff physically and sexually abusing offenders in its care. https://wapo.st/4py8KML

@chrislhayes.bsky.social did a fantastic job breaking down the Trump and Vance lies about the ICE murder. It sadly should come as no surprise these two would lie about a 37 year old mother of 3 being murdered, but here we are. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

In other news, my congressman Mike Lawler sent out a fundraising email about Maduro, asking if we support it as "a national security measure," cause, y'know, drugs. I assume I missed his email about the pardon on the Honduran president.

Completely sane and normal
Asked if there any limits on his global powers, Trump tells @nytimes.com "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” He adds, “I don’t need international law.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Marriage Bootcamp sounds like a bad reality show
A report from the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank tied to the architects of Project 2025, urges lawmakers “to save and restore the American family” through discouraging online dating, creating marriage “bootcamp” classes and more.
Heritage paper on families calls for ‘marriage bootcamp,’ more babies
The conservative think tank aims to boost U.S. marriage and births through discouraging online dating, restricting pornography and creating tax credits for families.

Absolutely horrendous. We shouldn’t have to doubt whether those responsible will be held accountable.
WATCH: Eyewitness Emily Heller tells Chris Hayes what she saw when an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis. “There was no doubt in mind that she was fatally shot immediately,” says Heller.

Oh good point, yea, this would be the thing that confirms he can’t be trusted.
Trump's Greenland threats undermine his own efforts to secure a peace deal in Ukraine. Any US security guarantee included in such a deal would be hard to take seriously if he is willing to ignore the security guarantee the US already has with Denmark.

Had my first Town Board meeting last. We approved how much we’re going to pay everyone and how much costs will go up in 2026. Took 11 minutes. Your government at work.

First resident email I received to my government email was about the snow plows putting too much salt on the roads. Glad I could quickly and proudly stand up against ICE.

Absolutely wild this franchise somehow replicated (and topped) the Lito/Sheldon strategy.
The Eagles tried for years to find homegrown cornerbacks. This year's Pro Bowl is some recognition that they nailed it.
