This interview is what made me want to go to Groundhog Day. Sounds so delightfully weird.
All eyes are on Pennsylvania on Groundhog Day — and that's exactly what Kaitie Burger '12 wants. Burger, executive director of the PA Tourism Office, has partnered with iconic experiences (like the one held this morning in Punxsutawney) to promote tourism in the state. ❄️🐾

Republicans redistricted to win five new seats in Texas. All five are projected to be between R+4 and R+8. To achieve this, they diluted their advantage in other districts.
A 15-point swing in November wipes out Republican control of the state. A 30-point swing erases Republicans in Texas entirely.

Thirty point swing to Democrats deep in the heart of Texas.
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less

So many mass shooter events over the years, you can't exist in the United States without thinking every fun event might get you killed. It makes one a bit more blase' than perhaps elsewhere.
"oh no, we successfully got Americans used to the constant specter of gun violence in their daily lives, and now they're not scared of OUR guns."
There's a video of protesters outside a Hilton last night, and some ICE goons point rifles at them, and the protesters don't move. You can almost see the goons bluescreen in that moment, like, they have zero plan for what to do next, when people are not 'properly' cowed and submissive to them.

We were just wondering in my house "was the weekend's wild underestimation of how much snow we would get a result of federal cuts?" And then this article appeared. Local news!
“Martrich argued the solution lies in restoring consistent investment in federal weather infrastructure, including staffing, observational networks and computing power.
"Without robust model guidance, the nation’s ability to anticipate and respond to weather hazards is weakened”

Local meteorologist warns federal cuts are undermining weather forecasts nationwide
EPAWA meteorologist Bobby Martrich is sounding the alarm on cuts at the federal level he says are quietly eroding the reliability of weather forecasts across the country, from national outlooks to the local forecasts residents rely on every day.

Makes me proud to be an Allentonian 👏
It is great to see state and local leaders stepping up to communicate about public health. Here is a screen grab of Allentown mayor Matt Tuerk speaking with Erin of the Allentown Health Bureau about the importance of vaccinating children. These short videos on social media can have a real impact.

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
