U.N. court orders Israel to do more to prevent killing, harm in Gaza
THE HAGUE — The International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to do more to prevent the killing and harm of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, a landmark decision that is part of the case determining if genocide is taking place, and will add to pressure to change course in the military campaign.
The court did not, however, order a cease-fire as requested by South Africa, though it said Israel must submit a report in one month outlining the measures it has taken to give effect to the court’s orders.
At a closely watched hearing at The Hague’s Peace Palace, the court’s president read out its order and reasoning, confirming that the court has jurisdiction and arguing that there is an urgent need for emergency measures, including more aid.
The order is not a decision on whether or not Israel has committed genocide — that could take years. Rather, the provisional measure aims to prevent the situation from getting worse while the case proceeds.
High-profile attorney quits 2 Trump cases as 'year of legal uncertainty' begins
Attorney Joseph Tacopina has been representing former President Donald Trump in two separate cases: a criminal prosecution by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. and an appeal of the verdict in former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll's first civil defamation case.
But according to the New York Times' Maggie Haberman, Tacopina has withdrawn from both cases.
"His departure from the two cases comes as Mr. Trump enters a year of legal uncertainty," Haberman reports in an article published on Monday, January 15. "He faces four criminal indictments, and trials with dates that are up in the air. The trial in Manhattan, in which he is accused of falsifying business records to hide hush-money payments to a porn star during the 2016 election, could begin as early as March."
Florida bill could end all trans legal recognition
"If enacted, this legislation would place Florida among the most oppressive regimes against transgender individuals worldwide."

Quite the Freudian slip here
Trump lawyer accidentally admits on air that her boss may be 'guilty of insurrection'
An attorney representing former President Donald Trump appeared to make a Freudian slip during a recent interview defending the ex-president's ballot eligibility.
During an appearance on extreme right-wing streaming network Real America's Voice, Christina Bobb — a former Trump administration official and anchor for the far-right One America News Network — appeared to suggest that her boss should be allowed on the 2024 Republican primary ballot even if he incited an insurrection.
"The president is elected by the entire nation and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president, whether they are guilty of insurrection or not," Bobb said.

Chicago Is Considering Opening a Municipal Grocery Store
Led by labor-backed mayor Brandon Johnson, Chicago could become the first big city in the US to open a publicly owned grocery store.
To combat food deserts in Chicago, the city government is considering opening up a municipal grocery store. The Wall Street Journal recently had a piece about this initiative. In it, Joe Barrett tells the stories of a municipal grocery store in Erie, Kansas, which last year was $123,000 in the red and a municipal grocery store in St Paul, Kansas, which is profitable and has been in operation for sixteen years.
Similar municipal grocery stores exist elsewhere in the country, including in Baldwin, Florida, which was profiled in the Washington Post four years ago. In each case, a generally conservative rural municipality opens up a grocery store because nobody else would and because they feared that not having a grocery store could result in a death spiral of depopulation.

@jerry As someone who has been banking with a credit union for years and now works at one, I don't see any reason to use a traditional bank. You can do anything at a credit union that you can at a bank. In my experience you get better interest rates for checking and savings accounts and loans at a credit union. And if you're worried about having access to your accounts if you travel out of the area, thanks to Shared Branching, you can go into most other credit unions and still access your accounts. You just need to tell them who your credit union is and your account number, and they can pull it up. And if you need to use an ATM while traveling, you just need to find a Co-Op ATM (my credit union has a way to look these up in the app) and then there is no fee to use it.
My guess would be that the biggest reason credit unions are not more popular is just a lack of knowledge about them. Either that or people have misconceptions about them. People see that banks are bigger and just assume that means they are better
