Thursday, February 25
BIDEN PUTS HEAT ON DISASTER POSTMASTER President Joe Biden nominated three postal experts to the governing board of the U.S. Postal Service. If confirmed by the Senate, Democrats would control the Board of Governors, which has the authority to fire Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a major GOP donor and Trump supporter whose tenure has been mired by slow service and politicization. [AP]
FORMER CUOMO AIDE ALLEGES UNCONSENSUAL KISS Lindsey Boylan, a former adviser to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, alleged in an essay that the governor kissed her without consent, proposed that they play strip poker and fostered a hostile workplace for women. “Governor Andrew Cuomo has created a culture within his administration where sexual harassment and bullying is so pervasive that it is not only condoned but expected,” she wrote. [HuffPost]
SOCIAL SECURITY BOSS CANCELS TELEWORK, BUT WON'T COME TO THE OFFICE Social Security Administration Commissioner Andrew Saul upset many agency staff when he canceled a popular teleworking program in 2019. “A time of workload crisis is not the time to experiment with working at home,” Saul said. But Saul himself apparently did not work in the agency’s main Baltimore office even before the pandemic forced everyone into telework. [HuffPost] |

BIDEN REVOKES TRUMP'S RIDICULOUS 'ANARCHIST' CITY ORDER Biden revoked a controversial memo signed by former President Donald Trump last year designating three Democratic cities as “anarchist jurisdictions” unworthy of federal funding. In the September memo, Trump directed federal officials to slap the “anarchist” label on New York, Seattle, and Portland, Oregon, after racial justice protests erupted following George Floyd’s murder. [HuffPost]
LA SHERIFF: WOODS CRASH 'PURELY AN ACCIDENT' The Los Angeles County sheriff characterized the crash that seriously injured Tiger Woods as “purely an accident” and appeared to rule out any potential criminal charges even as authorities were still investigating. Deputies saw no evidence the golf star was impaired by drugs or alcohol after Tuesday’s rollover wreck on a downhill stretch of road known for crashes, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. [AP]
QANON REP TAUNTS COLLEAGUE WITH TRANSPHOBIC SIGN Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene mocked her neighbor at the U.S. Capitol — Rep. Marie Newman — by erecting an anti-transgender sign outside her office. Newman, whose daughter is transgender, is an advocate of the Equality Act, a bill that would ban discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The House is expected to vote on the bill this week. [HuffPost] |

WHAT'S BREWING
GOP SCIENCE DENIERS LECTURE HAALAND ON SCIENCE Interior Secretary nominee Deb Haaland on Wednesday wrapped up two days of hostile Senate confirmation hearings, during which several GOP senators referenced Haaland’s Oct. 7 tweet claiming that Republicans don’t believe in science. None mentioned the context of the tweet, which came as now-Vice President Kamala Harris was describing the Trump administration’s cynical practice of erasing the word “science” from U.S. government websites. [HuffPost]
COPS GRILL SOUTH DAKOTA AG ABOUT HIT-RUN Investigators questioning South Dakota’s attorney general after a fatal car crash pressed him on how he did not realize he had struck a man. In two videos released by police, criminal investigators confront Jason Ravnsborg, with gruesome details of the crash, saying: “His face was in your windshield, Jason, think about that.” [AP]
CAPITOL POLICE WERE 'UNSURE' ABOUT USING FORCE Police officers who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection did not properly lock down the building and were unsure of the rules for using deadly force against the rioters, according to the acting chief of the Capitol Police. In a statement submitted for a House hearing today, Yogananda Pittman provides new details about the problems that hobbled the police’s response. [AP]
CALIF. CITY TO END TRAFFIC STOPS FOR MINOR OFFENSES The Berkeley City Council has voted to end police traffic stops for low-level offenses. Police will need written consent for vehicle searches, except under circumstances where consent is not legally required, and cops can no longer conduct warrantless searches of people on parole or probation. The city council also voted to fire officers found to have published racist content online. [HuffPost]
TACKLING THE PRISON-TO-ICE PIPELINE California lawmakers want to stop the practice of law enforcement transferring immigrants straight out of prison into immigration detention — “double punishment.” State Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo's VISION Act would ban law enforcement from transferring immigrants being released from prison or jail to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for detention or deportation.
