Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Loretta Lynch may be back in a holding pattern, Brazilians are protesting President Dilma Rousseff, and Taylor Swift reminds us of her omnipotence. Read on to learn why Emily White, a major get for Snapchat when she was hired in late 2013, is disappearing from the startup. Enjoy your Monday!
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• White vanishes from Snapchat. Emily White, a former Instagram exec who became Snapchat's COO in late 2013, is leaving the company. CEO Evan Spiegel apparently wants to take a more hands-on role at the startup, cutting into White's current duties. White is the third top exec in the past two months to leave Snapchat, which reportedly is valued at $15 billion. Re/Code
ALSO IN THE HEADLINES
• Loretta languishes. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told CNN's State of the Union that he would put off a vote on Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch unless the Senate moves ahead on a human trafficking bill. The catch? Some Democrats object to an abortion provision included in the trafficking legislation. Mediaite
• An Ellen update. On Friday, Ellen Pao took questions from the jurors in her ongoing gender discrimination case against Kleiner Perkins--most of which focused on possible inconsistencies in her testimony. On Fortune.com, Adam Lashinsky has some questions of his own, based on a story he wrote about Kleiner Perkins seven years ago, and Dan Primack considers Pao's motives for bringing the suit and why they matter.
• The Taylor effect. Last week, Taylor Swift tweeted about listening to Kelsea Ballerini, an up-and-coming country singer. Almost immediately, Ballerini's album sales, her Twitter followers and all-around buzz buzz about her went through the roof. Hey, Taylor: How about giving The Broadsheet a shoutout? Washington Post
• More than an apple. Nancie Atwell, a writing teacher and founder of a private school in Maine, won a $1 million award dubbed "the Nobel Prize for Teaching." Atwell's school, the Center for Teaching and Learning, is dedicated to experimenting with teaching techniques and training new educators. How will she spend the prize money?

• Rising up against Rousseff. More than one million Brazilians took to the streets on Sunday to protest government scandals and the rising cost of living. Among the protesters' demands: the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. Bloomberg
