Washington DC —As part of a novel new plan to get senators to actually read the legislation they are voting on, the 600-page stimulus bill will be disguised as an old-time nudie mag in hopes that they'll open it up. The hope is that senators will read through at least a few dozen pages of the legislation before they realize they've been had. Some inappropriate pictures will be slipped in throughout the pages to keep them going, though there is little hope that their attention will be held beyond page 30 or 40. (Read more.)

BREAKING! A decision to toss out the third-degree murder charge against ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin in the police-custody death of George Floyd was reversed by an appeals court Friday, according to a report. The reversal could delay the trial of the former officer, who already faces second-degree murder and manslaughter raps, an NBC-TV affiliate reported. The case is slated for jury selection Monday, with the trial having been expected to start March 29 at the earliest. The Minnesota Court of Appeals found that Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill erred when he denied prosecutors’ request to reinstate the lesser murder charge. The appeals court sent the case back to Cahill for reconsideration, the outlet reported. Chauvin’s defense team could now appeal the decision to Minnesota’s Supreme Court — the highest court in the state — which could delay the trial, according to the report.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva appeared at the site Friday and urged employees to get vaccinated, saying that he had done so with no ill effects. “I took two doses of the Moderna vaccine, which is being offered here today, and I feel great,” Villanueva said at a news conference.
