KENNETH IN THE (212): And yes, there's video of the above rub-down.
HUFF POST: Pete Buttigieg won the Iowa Caucus by a sliver, but Bernie Sanders is claiming he won it. Both men had great nights, Warren treaded water, and Biden tanked. New Hampshire will likely be a more decisive victory for someone, and the eventual delegate math is such that Iowa will probably be inconsequential.
Buttigieg congratulated Sanders, Sanders said:
“Pete Buttigieg tops billionaire donor list,” “Pete Buttigieg lures even closer look from Wall Street donors following strong Iowa caucuses performance” ... I like Pete Buttigieg, but but we are in a moment where billionaires control not only our economy but our political [system].
TPM: Trump is about to exact revenge on Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman for his testimony against Trump, by reassigning him from the White House National Security Council back to the Department of Defense.

TRUE CRIME DAILY: Check out this juxtaposition: A Chicago resident who was drinking in public was body-slammed and suffered severe injuries at the hands of a cop who is an MMA fighter during his off-time, and yet a Colorado cop who drove drunk and was filmed passed out in his patrol car (!) won't even face charges. “Why does everything have to be about race?” — indeed!

YOUTUBE: “No Prince Charming” is a fun new track from Fab the Duo (feat. MariahLynn), and the video is uplifting. Girl-powered, gay-powered — slay-powered:
LONGREADS: Michael Musto warns: Don't become friends with a celeb!!! He starts with the late Sylvia Miles:
To my impressionable eyes, Sylvia was glamorous and exciting, though I also started to find her a tad narcissistic, as the scales fell from my eyes and I became indoctrinated into the celebrity world by association. A night out with Sylvia involved her primping in mirrors, begging photographers to take her photo, and chasing down directors, demanding that they hire her. I started to feel like I was accompanying Norma Desmond and was always torn between the thrill of hanging with an Oscar nominee and the dread I usually felt, knowing that the experience wouldn’t be all that fun.
THE WRAP: Natalie Wood's daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner speaks about why she participated in the Sundance-debuting doc Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind, directed by Laurent Bouzereau. It sounds like the doc will attempt to shift focus away from her tragic death; Wagner, like most of Wood's surviving friends and family (noteworthy exception: her sister Lana Wood), does not think Robert Wagner murdered Wood.
This The Wrap interview is kinda painful as the interviewer has no F idea who Natalie Wood was, clearly, or didn't before prepping for this interview, so tossing out Inside Daisy Clover tidbits at her is like throwing cold pizza on a wall.
Jarring P.S.: Gregson Wagner has now outlived her mom by 6+ years — she's 49, Wood was 43 when she died in 1981.
