ISN’T IT, THOUGH?
The Jan 6 committee members getting preemptively pardoned because “government persecution ruins even the innocent” is highly fucking ironic.

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN: This is the new White House landing page.
THAT WAS FAST: Trump officials shut down CBP One app.
Trump administration officials minutes after the new president took office on Monday shut down a mobile app for migrants to make appointments at the U.S.-Mexico border.
By shutting down the CBP One app, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials essentially canceled all outstanding appointments made by migrants without visas who sought to enter the United States through legal ports of entry.
The app shutdown is part of a series of moves by the incoming administration to crack down on the border, even as migration has decreased significantly in the past six months.
According to CBP numbers, U.S. officials encountered 96,048 foreign nationals at the border in December. About half, 48,722, presented at a port of entry to get formal admission into the United States.
Before November, the last full month with fewer than 100,000 encounters was January of 2021, the month when former President Biden was sworn in. That month, CBP encountered 78,414 people, only 3,098 of whom presented at ports of entry — the rest were encountered by the Border Patrol after crossing the border illegally.
CBP One was a key component of the Biden administration’s efforts to channel migrants through legal pathways to seek refuge in the United States.
President Trump is due to sign 10 executive orders on Monday related to the border, several of which seek to undo those pathways.
I’d say “faster, please,” but the newly sworn-in president and his team are certainly moving with due alacrity.
SCOTT JENNINGS: “Watching [newly sworn-in President Trump] indict these gangsters to their faces while they had to sit with him in an intimate setting… they had to sit there and take it. It was glorious.”

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? America Just Kinda, Sorta Banned Cigarettes. “Today, regulators at the FDA announced that they are pushing forward with a rule that would dramatically limit how much nicotine can go in a cigarette. The average cigarette nowadays is estimated to have roughly 17 milligrams of the drug. Under the new regulation, that would fall to less than one milligram. If enacted—still a big if—it would decimate the demand for cigarettes more effectively than any public-service announcement ever could.”
BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS ABOUT MLK JR: This might be the most unexpected 1:18 video watch of this day, which President Donald Trump declared as Liberation Day for America. And it’s also Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which makes this video on HillFaith of particular interest.

UNEXPECTED HEADLINES: Assassination of an escort leads to miniskirt ban in world’s least popular parliament.
Detectives immediately knew they were dealing with a professional hit. The criminals had riddled the taxi with some 40 bullets, yet stole nothing from the dying driver and passenger.
But what puzzled them was the identity of the victim of the ferocious attack in the centre of Lima, Peru’s chaotic capital, last December. That passenger, Andrea Vidal, 27, was a slim, photogenic lawyer and former congressional aide.
By the time she succumbed to her injuries in intensive care one week later, investigators had begun to unearth a scandal shocking even by the rock-bottom standards of the Andean nation’s ethically-challenged Congress – a prostitution ring allegedly operating within the legislative palace itself.
Politicians initially sought to ignore the mushrooming scandal, which Ms Vidal, who was part of the ring, had reportedly been on the point of revealing when she was killed.
But public pressure finally forced them to act. Last week, they banned female aides from wearing miniskirts and shorts.
Well, that ought to solve the problem.

Trump looks less tired after 8 years of hell than most presidents do after serving four years. “The golden age of America begins right now.”
UPDATE:
Trump is shitting on Biden while he has to sit there and take it. This is one for the ages.
