SLEEPY JOE
Separately, Biden underwent a routine physical on Thursday and his physician said he remains "healthy" and "vigorous," and is "fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency."
NOT READ: The physical comes as Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a potential second term, has faced consistent questions about his age and health from conservative critics. The exam offers likely the last health update on the oldest president in history ahead of his expected reelection announcement.

KRISTI NOEM, SD Governor
SMH, RME… “governor”
TWITTER PROFILE: Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) / Twitter: I am a wife, mother, grandma, farmer, rancher, small business owner, and South Dakotan who serves as South Dakota's Governor.
CLIP 13 (KristiNoem) South Dakota’s state motto is “Under God, the People Rule.” But that could just as easily be an American motto. In America, we are not – and we will not be – ruled by an elite class of so-called experts. We the People are the government. (THAT’S NOT THE CASE… OR IS IT?) … 1:13
SCREENSHOTS: I checked out her website (and book out 2022), she’s supposedly all proud of her family, but there’s no pics of her husband or kids… at first I was like yeah right her family’s important, but then again she’s probably smart not to show them. But yes, yeah right it’s about her family.
PICS: Kristi Noem - Wikipedia pics of her various hairstyles are quite something… born Nov 1971, married 1992 (age 20-21)...
Do-gooders quite a racket

Her facebook Post:
Since becoming the first Latina to Chair of the City's Public Safety Committee, I have made it my priority to innovate and deploy programs that heed the calls for reform and create a safer Los Angeles.
It's why yesterday we unveiled Project TURN (Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods), a public safety initiative that will provide much-needed training and support to community intervention workers who are regularly exposed to high trauma environments.
Providing them comprehensive training and support is an important tenet of how our City will deliver transformative change, strengthen our public safety response, and create more equitable investment in a community based public safety model.
INVASION

(chiproytx) Last year 16 migrants (including a baby) that drowned in the Rio Grande were buried with PVC crosses near a local cemetery in Maverick Co, because funeral homes were so overwhelmed. How is this compassionate, functioning immigration policy? #HR29 @JoeBiden @AliMayorkas
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
(TimCast) Trump: Classified Material Found At Mar-a-Lago Was Mostly Empty Folders Kept As 'Momentos': Trump told his Truth Social followers that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago recovered very few items that could be considered as classified, instead explaining that most of the material collected was empty folders he kept as keepsakes from his time in office.
TRAIN DERAILMENT AND MAYOR PETE
TWEETS: Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Twitter: "Glad to see newfound bipartisan agreement here. We could start by discussing immediate steps Congress could take to address rail safety & reduce constraints on USDOT in this area. Give us a call, we can do some good work." / Twitter
TWEET: Ted Cruz on Twitter: Fully agree
TWEET: (IlhanMN) East Palestine railroad derailment will have a significant negative impact on the health and wellbeing of the residents for decades and there is almost zero national media attention. We need Congressional inquiry and direct action from @PeteButtigieg to address this tragedy.
Quote-tweeted clip from Feb 13: (DrEricDing) NEW TOXINS IDENTIFIED—“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist. Rail company Norfolk Southern is paying just $25k to the town, or ~$5 per resident. [thread] HT @therecount

Lawsuits pile up as U.S. parents take on social media giants | Context
(Thomson Reuters Foundation / Pocket, by Avi Asher-Schapiro, Feb 8, 2023) — Parents in the United States are turning to trial lawyers as they blame Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok for their children's mental health crises —
[Article follows some woman Laurie who sued over her daughter “C.W.”…. I thought i saw a “they/them” referenced to a kid…what?]
[one is] represented by the Social Media Victims Law Center, a firm co-founded by veteran trial lawyer Matt Bergman, who won hundreds of millions of dollars suing makers of the building material asbestos for concealing its linkage with cancer in the 1990s and early 2000s. …
Laura Marquez-Garrett, a[nother] lawyer with the Social Media Victims Law Center….
Carrie Goldberg, a New York-based lawyer, helped to popularize the notion that social media software is essentially like any other consumer product - and that harms it causes in the real world should open up manufacturers to lawsuits.
In 2017, she sued the dating app Grindr on behalf of Matthew Herrick, a man who was stalked and threatened online by an ex-boyfriend, but could not get Grindr to block his harasser. …
In September, a British government inquest faulted social media exposure for the suicide of a 14-year-old girl, and lawmakers are poised to implement stringent rules for age verification for social media firms.
… a recent bill in California that mandates "age appropriate design" … [NOT MENTIONED: Josh Hawley wants under 16yos unable to start a social media account…] ….
Between the years of 2012 and 2015, U.S. teenagers reporting symptoms of depression increased by 21% - the number was double for girls, said Jean Twenge, an American psychologist and researcher studying mental health trends.
Three times as many 12- to 14-year-old girls killed themselves in 2015 as in 2007, Twenge said.
Until about 10 years ago, cases involving depression, self-harm and anxiety had been stable for decades, said Grant, the psychologist.
"Then we see this big spike around 2012 - what happened in 2011? The advent of Snapchat and Instagram," he said. ….
"Social media is often a scapegoat," said Yalda Uhls, a professor of developmental psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).
"It's easier to blame (it) than the systematic issues in our society - there's inequality, racism, climate change, and there's parenting decisions too." (YEAH MENTION PARENTS LAST, STUPID.)
Bergman often compares his cases against social media platforms to the avalanche of lawsuits that targeted tobacco companies in the 1950s onwards: lawyers only began winning cases after leaked documents showed advance knowledge of cancer-causing chemicals. ….
"For every person that gets harmed or hurt in real ways, I suspect there are literally millions who have no problems at all, and are having a great time on the platform," said Jason Schultz, director of New York University's Tech Law and Policy Clinic.
"Courts are going to have to ask: is this really an inherently dangerous thing?" ….
John Villasenor, the co-director of the UCLA Institute for Technology, Law, and Policy, said it could be hard to distinguish between a well-designed algorithm and one that might under some circumstances promote addictive behaviors.
"It's not unreasonable for platforms to build digital products that encourage more engagement," he said.
"And if someone is prone to addiction, and can't stop using it - is that always the platform's fault?"
