While it was not clear whether the prosecutors found Mr. #MichaelCohen’s information credible and whether they intended to pursue it, the meeting suggests that they are interested in broader aspects of the #TrumpOrganization, beyond their investigation into the company’s role in the hush money payments made before the 2016 election to women claiming to have had affairs with Mr. Trump. Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty last summer to arranging those payments.

There was no indication that Mr. Cohen, who is scheduled to begin serving a 3-year prison sentence in May, implicated Mr. #Trump in the possible irregularities discussed during the meeting last month. If prosecutors concluded that Mr. Cohen’s information was truthful and valuable, they could ask the judge who sentenced him to reduce his prison term. In August, Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws for his role in the hush money payments, as well as tax and bank crimes. In a separate case brought by #RobertMueller III, the special counsel, Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying to Congress.

Oregon considers its automatic voter registration a "phenomenal success"

Well, yeah, but only if you consider increased voter turn-out, and an electorate that's "less urban ... less wealthy ... much more diverse" to be good things. I do, but clearly there are some people who don't.

Let Them Eat Grade Books!

An Arkansas state legislator is fed up with schools that don't improve their reading scores.

His solution: cut lunch funding from schools that don't perform well.

Guess which party he's in.

#HouseDemocrats will move early next week to block President Donald #Trump from circumventing Congress to build a border wall, kicking off a weeks-long battle to pressure Republicans to rebuke the president over his national emergency declaration. Speaker #NancyPelosi detailed her party’s strategy Friday, one week after Trump announced a #nationalemergency to secure as much as $6bn for his border projects - funds that Congress had already denied.

The House plans to vote Tuesday (Feb 26) on legislation that would reverse Trump’s emergency order. That privileged resolution - which has 226 co-sponsors, including one Republican - is expected to easily pass the House. The Senate will then be forced to vote within 18 days, posing an uncomfortable test of loyalty to Trump for the GOP-controlled chamber. Next week’s vote will be the first of a multitrack approach to force Trump to back off his attempt to siphon money from some Pentagon programs toward a border project.

YouTube has demonetized anti-vaccination channels as social media sites come under pressure to stop the spread of misinformation

There are measles outbreaks in the US and elsewhere around the world, due, in part, to parents who have not vaccinated their children after seeing false information spread on YouTube, Facebook and other social media sites. Companies are now responding.

A spokesperson from YouTube said: “We have strict policies that govern what videos we allow ads to appear on, and videos that promote anti-vaccination content are a violation of those policies. We enforce these policies vigorously, and if we find a video that violates them, we immediately take action and remove ads,” a YouTube spokesperson said in an email statement to BuzzFeed News.

Anti-vax content violates YouTube's "dangerous and harmful" content policy.

Going a bit further, Pinterest blocks "vaccine" (and "cancer cure") searches, re-pinning anti-vax memes already removed from one account and no longer allows pinning links to certain anti-vaccination websites:

And Facebook is thinking about taking measures, although it's not clear they will actually take any action soon:

Paddys River Falls, Tumbarumba
Celebration: countdown 30

Paddys River Falls is near the sub-alpine town of Tumbarumba.
I never really feel I have understood a waterfall until I have been directly under it, and can feel the air pressure changing around me and the vibrations in the ground. This is an exception. I don't think i will understand this place. The walls of the fall are fluted into impossible shapes that come alive as evening falls.
Still, I remember this as a great place to swim when young, and lovely at the base of the waterfalls. I guess that these days, with this one, I would be a little more wary of what might be coming over the top. There is a second unseen danger here: the race continues on and turns a bend down a natural drain hole. In a strong current a small whirlpool forms above it.
This waterfall is tucked away, on the desolate and lonely road that was cut to the hydro power stations and Kiandra. Only bush folk come here, it is too far from the cities. My dad used to bring me here, on our way to cross country skiing. It was a long road trip, and snow closed roads at the top of the mountains did not help. This place was a nice tonic.
I love the way the cliff face here has been gradually cut away but am mystified by the stone figures that are left. When you live in a little town for a long time, there are a couple of views that start to define the place for you, even if no-one else. While I always enjoy a photo, it never quite puts me in the place. Familiar but not home. Actually driving through the streets and looking to that hill or over at that house or the place where my horse bolted years ago is a different matter

Image: I have reprocessed the original long exposure toning for depth to draw a little more detail from the image.
