Joni Ernst, as shat.

x Joni Ernst refuses to meet with the woman who accused Pete Hegseth of rape, then says she hasn't "seen anything convincing" about the accusation.

What planet do these people live on?

x Rudy is now over 2 hours late for his court hearing today. When he was 1 hour and 44 minutes late, he posted this clip of his dog at Mar-a-Lago.

Well shit. Good for Ruby and Shay. But, still. Click the Sky to read the whole sh!tstorm.

x RUDY SETTLES 1/ The parties have just filed a letter in New York indicating a global settlement between Giuliani & Atlanta pollworkers Ruby Freeman & Shaye Moss. This would "result in the conclusion of all litigation," which presumably includes the underlying judgment & the second defamation case.

This is not good.

x Nothing to worry about, just the pro-Putin president getting the anti-Putin intelligence committee chair who does oversight removed from his position

Oh Sweet Jeebus. Ramaswamy and DeWine met to discuss Ohio Senate appointment. www.politico.com/…

Two months after taking himself out of the running for an Ohio Senate seat, Vivek Ramaswamy is under consideration for the post, according to two people familiar with the matter granted anonymity to discuss ongoing conversations. Ramaswamy and Gov. Mike DeWine, who is tasked with appointing someone to the job recently vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance, met at the governor’s mansion over the weekend to discuss the post, according to one of the people. ✂️ A Senate appointment would allow Ramaswamy, 39, to work on efforts to cut federal spending from inside Congress while Musk pursues it from the outside, the second person familiar with Ramaswamy’s thinking told POLITICO. It would also provide Ramaswamy a chance to go fight for DOGE priorities against expected pushback from Senate Democrats, given his penchant for debating. Ramaswamy has been uncharacteristically quiet on social media after being caught up in a heated debate between different MAGA factions over H1-B visas at the start of the year. His support of the temporary visa program for highly skilled foreign workers, was met with significant pushback from right wing voices including Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec, though Trump ultimately said he supported the program.

Evening Shade Seekers! Happy National Religious Freedom Day!

Each year, National Religious Freedom Day commemorates the day the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was signed on January 16, 1786. Each year, by Presidential Proclamation, January 16th is declared Religious Freedom Day.

Heres a diary that explains in more detail. www.dailykos.com/…

Happy National Without a Scalpel Day!

Each year on National Without a Scalpel Day January 16th recognizes the opportunities to treat disease without a scalpel. On this day in 1964, pioneering physician Charles Dotter performed the first angioplasty. The ground-breaking procedure to open a blocked blood vessel took place in Portland, Oregon. Not only did the angioplasty allow the patient to avoid leg amputation surgery, but she left the hospital days later with only a Band-Aid.

Happy National Get To Know Your Customers Day! (Longish)

AND Happy National Fig Newton Day!

Tomorrow is National Hot Buttered Rum Day. It will be Friday, it may be cold where you are. What could be better?
