JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

I know it’s soft pushback but I really do appreciate director Chris Columbus’ comments on JK Rowling, especially considering how influential he was in the visual look of the Harry Potter franchise right through to the new tv show, and also that he’s of Rowling’s generation.
