Good morning, and welcome to RedState's "Morning Minute" — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day. 

TOP O' THE MORNIN'

Did They Awaken the Sleeping Giant?

It means none of us is safe, that that great principle which has made us special as a nation—equality under the law—died more than a little on Thursday. And that's a horrible thing to ponder. 

Democrat Attorneys General Demand Federal Indictment of Daniel Perry Because the Rule of Law Is Dead

Given the way the judicial process has been hijacked by the left to be nothing more than a tool to protect their people and harass and imprison their enemies, it will be no huge shock if Garland does the bidding of his political masters.

What's Next for Trump? The Facts, and Ways This Could Play Out.

The Democrats have started a dangerous war, and the losers are the people of this country.

WHAT'S ON TAP?

Today on Capitol Hill...

The Congress critters are out until next week, so aside from commenting on the outcome of the Travesty of the Century ™, we'll likely not hear too much from them on Friday.

White House What's Up

Beachbound Biden will temporarily leave Rehoboth and return to the White House to greet Belgium Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, followed by some back-patting of the Kansas City Chiefs for their [checks watch] February Super Bowl win. Then it's back to Rehoboth. (Am I the only one wondering at the carbon footprint of these back-and-forth photo op jaunts? Couldn't they schedule these things a bit more efficiently?)

Full Court Press...

Well, we know former President Donald Trump won't be freezing his tuchus off in a Manhattan courtroom today, so there's that. 

Meanwhile, the trial of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) continues in the Southern District of New York.

And, of course, Hunter Biden's trial on federal gun charges is set to begin Monday, so we'll be keeping an eye out for any last-minute maneuvering on that. 

MORNING MUSING

I spend an inordinate amount of time online — it's the nature of my job. I'm glad it's Friday. I think this is going to be one of those weekends I take full advantage of not having to be glued to the computer and just tune out for a bit and enjoy some downtime at the pool. We'd probably all be a bit better off if we did that from time to time just to reset. 

LIGHTER FARE 

Bless their hearts...
