1/ We have a broody hen named Pepper (that means she wants to sit on eggs & hatch them, even if they aren’t her own) so I ordered her some fertile eggs since we don’t have a rooster & I feel bad taking eggs from her every day.
2/ This is what she did with the first egg I put in with her
3/ So I put all of the eggs in the nesting box with her
4/ Meantime, the other chickens were all running around playing the mud because it rained overnight.
5/ When I checked back in, she had all kind of helpers. I’m dubious about the prospects she’ll actually hatch chicks, but I wanted to give her a shot at it.

In opening, prosecutors say that when an EMT who was a bystander approached to try & check George Floyd’s pulse & render aid, Chauvin refused her & pointed his mace at her.
Prosecution: “Chauvin does not let up & he does not get up.” Watching 9:29 of excruciating video, Chauvin keeps grinding his knee on George Floyd’s neck, ignoring all efforts to get him to care for Floyd & ultimately even an EMT bystander demanding he check for a pulse.
Defense starts by defining reasonable doubt. Their whole strategy is to convince at least one juror there is reasonable doubt about guilt. It takes a unanimous jury to convict.

Merrick Garland: Willing to step away from lifetime appointment as a federal judge because of the importance of DOJ and the rule of law.
Garland calls family separation policy "shameful" & commits to cooperating with Congressional oversight hearings on this issue as well as annual oversight hearings. "Of course" he says, "I will cooperate" after Durbin notes there was no such participation over the last 3 years.
Judge Garland says he spoke with judiciary ethics advisors ahead of hearing and that while Canon 3 bars comment on any pending cases, he is free to talk about policy.

Mike Lee is claiming some of the evidence presented is not supported by the record and should be stricken, referencing in particular, the call to Alabama's freshman Senator Tuberville to ask him to delay confirmation of Biden's win.
Lee clarifies that statements about him are not true, says he is the only witness, and vehemently demands that they be stricken.
Lee withdraws his objection, subject to being raised again. [Lee is one of the Republicans who voted to end impeachment because Trump has already left office. In the 1st impeachment, he voted to acquit Trump, saying he wasn't guilty]

If there is any line Mitch McConnell can’t permit Trumpers cross it’s this: direct incitement to violence. Sure it’s a low bar, but honestly, so are our expectations for him to protect democracy. But at some point, this draws perilously close to the legal definition of sedition.
Having spent a fair bit of my career as a prosecutor on domestic terror & white supremacist groups, I know how important it is for a society to unequivocally condemn violence & commit to justice if it occurs. No responsible leader can ignore the obligation to condemn violence.
In case you haven’t seen it already, Louie Gohmert has moved on from being smug & dumb to being a dangerous threat to the republic and to public safety. GOP leaders must speak up for a change.
