• Rep. Diego Hernandez, a Portland Democrat who has faced numerous accusations of workplace harassment and emotional abuse from female colleagues over the past year, officially resigned over the weekend but plans to stay in office for well over a month, until March 31. How come? Apparently the Dems need his vote for upcoming bills they re hoping to push on to the Senate. [Insert side-eye emoji here.]

Democratic Senators introduce new bill to remove Section 230 internet speech protections
On February 5, three Democratic Party US Senators introduced legislation called the Safeguarding Against Fraud, Exploitation, Threats, Extremism and Consumer Harms (SAFE TECH) Act, which would modify laws that provide internet companies with legal protections for content posted on their platforms by users.
In a press release accompanying the draft legislation, US Senators Mark Warner of Virginia, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota state that their proposal aims to “allow social media companies to be held accountable for enabling cyber-stalking, targeted harassment, and discrimination on their platforms.”

Senators Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are not even pretending to look like impartial jurors in the Trump impeachment trial. They told reporters today that they are actively working with the Trump defense team and other senators to ensure Trump’s acquittal.
NBC News’ Garrett Haake had details for Joy Reid Thursday evening.
HAAKE: Senators Graham, Cruz and Lee met with the Trump defense team for quite a while after the arguments had wrapped up today to discuss legal strategy for tomorrow. Senator Cruz came out afterwards and told reporters - I mean, this is not something they re hiding - again, they re working hand in glove with the Trump defense team and some of his most closely aligned senators to come up with an argument that will allow their fellow Republicans, enough of them anyway, to vote to acquit.
U.S. sanctions against MP Dubinsky based on public, classified data – source 3 min read
The statements of MP, member of the Servant of the People faction Oleksandr Dubinsky that the Center for Combating Corruption is behind the U.S. sanctions against him are an attempt to discredit the sanctions and do not correspond to reality, an informed source in diplomatic circles told Interfax-Ukraine. Dubinsky says that the sanctions are the result of a discrediting campaign initiated by the Center for Combating Corruption, that it is slander by the center. This narrative is a very clear attempt to undermine the validity of the sanctions. Since, if he says that only one non-governmental organization in Ukraine caused the sanctions, because of this they look unreasonable, less reliable and unimportant. But the truth is that the U.S. Department of the Treasury relies on a wide variety of non-classified and classified sources for its decisions, the source said.
