BREAKING: An attorney for Indiana Dr. Caitlin Bernard has sent a cease and desist letter to Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, after he suggested without evidence that she’d failed to report an abortion provided to a 10yo rape victim. Documents confirm she did report it. The letter reads in part, “Please cease and desist from making false and misleading statements about alleged misconduct by Dr. Bernard in her profession, which constitute defamation per se.”

On Sunday, while I was lying in bed with Covid, one of my kids heard a little chirping sound in the fireplace. I dragged myself out of bed to discover a baby robin had fallen down the chimney. I was this close to throwing it in the backyard and going back to bed… I felt guilty, but I just didn’t think I had the energy to deal with it. Still, I felt a little bit responsible, since the poor thing had fallen down the chimney of this old house we just bought - a chimney that we knew needed repairs but hadn’t gotten around to fixing yet.

In Virginia Beach, gun rights supporters are gathering for a pre-meeting ahead of Monday’s 1/20 in Richmond.

Local activist Brendan Mooney says of gun control proposals: “We are all in grave threat for being felons overnight.”

On the rally:

“This is not a time for violence.” Also a lot of talk tonight about very practical concerns that affect gun rights activists and gun control activists alike: the availability of restrooms in Richmond on Monday!

Regarding media reports that Trump warned, at a dinner for evangelical leaders last night, of violence if Dems take over in November, two people at the dinner downplay those reports/say they are exaggerated - that Trump said Dems would rapidly overturn his policies. .@JerryFalwellJr says Trump said Dems would leave no stone unturned in reversing his policies but: “Nobody walked out of there thinking that the Democrats were going to shoot us all.”
