Good evening, and welcome to #ourCOG Daily Brief for February 6, 2026.

In today’s U.S. news, we celebrate the recognition of 18th-century poet Phillis Wheatley, now gracing a postage stamp for her powerful work while enslaved. Meanwhile, a “Reagan conservative” federal judge has made the rare move to resign over presidential actions, fueling concerns that the firewall between the White House and the Department of Justice is eroding, leading to a significant drop in public trust. On the defense front, the U.S. is looking to increase its missile stockpiles, which have been depleted by recent usage and heightened tensions with Iran. Domestically, there’s growing bipartisan pushback in communities against the rapid expansion of data centers, driven by concerns over electricity costs and local impact. Internationally, Japan’s Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae is gambling with snap elections, anticipating a sweep for her party as she presents a bolder vision for the nation. U.S.-Iran talks, initially canceled then revived, are set to proceed, with both sides maneuvering amid a weakened Iran and a flexing America. And looking ahead, the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games are set to redefine the Olympics by hosting events across an entire region rather than a singular city.

Turning to prophecy news, recent discussions highlight the perceived collapse of the “Transgender Industrial Complex,” with legal and medical establishments reportedly losing their grip on this ideology. Other notable reports include the arrest of an illegal immigrant police recruit in New Orleans who was issued a firearm, a reflection on the importance and challenges faced by law enforcement, and the intriguing placement of an ancient stone vessel from 1,800 years ago in Israel’s Knesset, connecting it to the modern Parliament’s role in championing the Third Temple.

And finally, looking back at this day in Jewish history, February 7th, 457, marked a difficult period with Leo I becoming emperor of the Byzantine Empire. He promptly annulled all old laws pertaining to Hebrews, mandating that they live only in accordance with Christian faith. Those who publicly converted but were found practicing “the faith of their fathers” faced severe penalties, including the loss of their estates.
