It appears baby Jesus was stolen from the Chicago-area Nativity scene that's critical of ICE.
The church has added a new sign that reads: "Where are Mary, Joseph, and Jesus? We don't know: They are being detained in a labyrinthian hellscape where their loves ones are unable to locate them."

Sad news: someone stole baby Jesus from our anti-ICE nativity. But vandalism cannot stop us. We just adapt and keep on critiquing this administration’s cruelty on immigration. Where’s baby Jesus? We don’t know. He is being detained in a labyrinthian hellscape where his loved ones cannot find him.

There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Mifepristone is safe, the well-funded effort to persuade people otherwise is as antithetical to the factual record as “climate change is a hoax” — and if Brennan feels willing or obliged to bend the knee to her new corporate management, this seems like a telling sign of that.
really weird -- Margaret Brennen presses Bill Cassidy on why the White House isn't doing more to crack down on mifepristone and what he's doing to encourage them to do it

This project took me away from local coverage for a bit but I'm very glad we did it -- a story about the political and legal limitations that have kept the Vision Zero movement in the U.S. from succeeding, and the subsequent death of a young woman on a road known to be unsafe wapo.st/49WM4BI
America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

A little tidbit: @janeese4dc.bsky.social just told me that her campaign qualified for public financing in just four hours since launching. That required getting $40,000 in small donations from at least 1,000 D.C. residents. That's pretty fast.
NEWS: Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George is running for mayor, stepping into an open race in the wake of Mayor Muriel Bowser's decision not to seek a fourth term. At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie is also meeting with campaign consultants this week for his own run.

It is wild how many politics or general assignment reporters seem to think they need to do little to no research or asking of experts to report on abortion bans and can just wing it, despite the fact that it muddies the water for people trying to navigate these laws
Hi @cnbc.com this story on abortion has multiple serious errors that need correcting
1. States that ban abortion prohibit procedures and pills. There is no state that bans one and not the other

I think the debate over what people "want" is a distraction given two basic facts:
1) America vastly over-provides suburbs and under-provides dense walkability;
2) Suburbs are hideously bad for the environment and harmful to numerous markers of well-being.
That's enough! We should do more density!

as will notes, people tend to *say* they want suburban living. they want a big house and a big yard and etc. this is not however what is suggested by their actual purchasing practices, which invariably result in something like this:
