https://www.nj.com/news/2025/07/ex-gov-christie-aid-sentenced-to-prison-for-possession-of-child-sex-abuse-material.html"A onetime aide to former Gov. Chris Christie pleaded guilty on Monday to first-degree endangering the welfare of a child after police found images of child sexual abuse material on his personal devices, authorities said.
Kevin Tomafsky, 43, of Washington Township, was arrested in 2022 after police used a search warrant to enter his residence and discovered devices that contained images of child sexual abuse and exploitation. "
This came out just a hair too late to be Breaking News, but gives you an idea of how deeply infested the MAGAt culture is with child predation. Thankfully this predator was arrested in 2022 under the Biden DoJ.
ICE Can't Enter Rikers for Now, Judge Rules
Source: New York Times
A state judge temporarily blocked Mayor Eric Adams on Monday from allowing the federal government to open offices at the Rikers Island jail complex, delaying the mayor’s efforts to help President Trump with his immigration crackdown.
The judge’s temporary restraining order came after the City Council sued the mayor last week in an attempt to stop an executive order that the Adams administration issued to allow federal immigration authorities into Rikers for the first time in more than a decade.
In her order, Justice Mary Rosado of State Supreme Court in Manhattan said that City Hall was barred from “taking any steps” toward signing an agreement with the federal government at least until Friday, when she is scheduled to hold a hearing on the lawsuit. The restraining order may be “extended, modified or vacated” after the hearing, she said.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency was banned from city jails in 2014 because of sanctuary laws that sought to stop the transfer of jailed undocumented immigrants into ICE custody for deportation. But Mr. Adams, a Democrat, came out in support of permitting ICE to reopen offices at Rikers after meeting several times with Mr. Trump’s border czar, Thomas Homan, who has said getting access to jails was a priority to enact the president’s immigration agenda.

Thank you Judge Rosado.
Now let's do everything in our power to make this temporary order permanent and replace ICE with a humane immigration agency.
covid.gov has been nuked and replaced with fascist propaganda
I am literally shaking as I type this.
Here's what covid.gov looked like earlier this month:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250410024551/https://www.covid.gov/
Resources for getting vaccinated, understanding symptoms, and the importance of masking and social distancing, have all been replaced by outright lies from the tangerine tyrant about the origins of COVID 19, besmirchment of Dr. Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance, attacks on important public servants like Dr. Fauci, and even attacks on the humble public workers like Marge Moore.
Worst of all, a total lack of acknowledgement of the harm done by that piece of shit trash fucker who made all this 100x worse than it needed to be by throwing out a great playbook that was created under President Obama.
I am not going to link to what is there now, but beware that our institutions are crumbling and being tossed down the memory hole in front of our eyes. Keep stocked on masks. Stay up to date on your boosters while you can. Find a doctor who believes in science because it's about to be replaced by fake science and fascist lies. Learn French or Spanish and have your passport ready to move to a resistance nation.
I am not going to link to what is there now. It is NSFD (not safe for our Democracy).
Exclusive: Honda to produce next Civic in Indiana, not Mexico, due to US tariffs, sources say
Source: Reuters
TOKYO, March 3 (Reuters) - Honda (7267.T), opens new tab has decided to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana, instead of Mexico, to avoid potential tariffs on one of its top-selling car models, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The change underscores how manufacturers are scrambling to adapt to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. While several automakers have expressed concerns about the levies, Honda's move is the first concrete measure by a major Japanese car company.
Japan's second-largest automaker had initially planned to manufacture the next-generation Civic in Guanajuato, Mexico, according to the three people. Production was slated to start from November 2027, according to one of the people.

Hobbs keeps promise - vetoes GOP election bill
Source: Arizona Capitol Times
Gov. Katie Hobbs delivered her promised veto Tuesday of a Republican bill to revamp the deadline to turn in early ballots.
But Hobbs, in her message to lawmakers, chose to focus her objections to HB2703 on a lesser-known provision of the measure, one that she said would undermine the system that allows people to get their ballots by mail without having to make annual requests.
And that change would affect far more Arizonans than the 265,000 who would lose their ability to drop off their early ballots on Election Day, which was the key provision in the now-vetoed bill.
Supporters argued that the practice slows up the process of getting faster election returns. That’s because early ballots submitted on Election Day cannot be counted until after the signatures are compared, something that can’t occur until after the polls are closed.

There are many quality criticisms of the anti-voter measures of the bill in the article. It's worth reading.

Source: CNN
Whoopi Goldberg has tested positive for Covid-19, "The View" co-host Joy Behar announced on Monday's episode of the talk show.
Behar told viewers that Goldberg's case was mild thus far.
"They say there's no place like home for the holidays and that's exactly where we are this year," Behar said of the show's panelists. "Happy New Year from all of our living rooms. As you can see we're back in boxes and doing the show remotely, hopefully for just a week, I'm praying that it's just a week but you never know because this omicron thing is all over the place."
She continued: "Why am I here instead of Whoopi? Well, Whoopi, unfortunately, tested positive over the break but she'll be back probably next week. Since she's vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms have been very, very, mild. But we're being super cautious here at 'The View.'"

I'm not even sure Omicron cases pass the threshold for news at this point, particularly for the vaccinated. What does everyone think? Should the threshold for news be that the person is seriously symptomatic?
'It's Coming': N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul Issues Omicron Warning, Declares State of Emergency
Source: Newsweek
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency over the Omicron variant of COVID-19, stating, "It's coming." The variant is believed to be possibly more contagious and immune-resistant than previous COVID-19 variants.
"We've taken extraordinary action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and combat this pandemic," Hochul wrote in a statement. "While the new Omicron variant has yet to be detected in New York State, it's coming."
The state of emergency will allow officials to more quickly acquire critical supplies for combatting the pandemic, Hochul's declaration said. It will also allow the state Department of Health to limit non-essential, non-urgent procedures for hospitals and healthcare systems with limited capacity. This way, they can focus on caring for those most needing treatment for COVID-19.
The emergency protocols will take place December 3, and will be reassessed based on the latest COVID-19 data on January 15.

President Biden will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other African countries to try to contain a troubling new variant of the coronavirus, senior administration officials said on Friday, though they said it would be impossible to prevent it from entering the United States.
Starting on Monday, the administration will prohibit travelers from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi from coming to the United States, the officials said.
The travel ban will not apply to American citizens or lawful permanent residents, officials said. But they will need to show a negative coronavirus test before coming to the United States.
