And another day secret recordings, old tweets, homophobia, and firings comes to a close:

“Stop playing those eyes, if you want me to keep, your little secret.” -- Melissa Etheridge

8 months before the 2016 election, Alexander Torshin, who has connections to the Kremlin, tweeted the following:


House GOP votes against renewing election security funding as Democrats fume. Republicans are not really concerned about national security and Russian tampering with our elections. They’re in on it.

Cohen secretly recorded Trump discussing payment to ex-Playmate. Hmmm, I bet there are more tapes Cohen made that are about more important issues than a Playmate.

A top Bernie Sanders adviser has been named in the evidence list for Paul Manafort's trial. And the net gets wider.

Mueller team plans to subpoena 'Manhattan Madam' Kristin Davis. And it gets more interesting.

14% of migrant children reunited in US. In case you forgot the US government kidnapped a bunch of children.

What a month this week has been. This is a good, quick roundup of stuff you may have missed. The child immigrant stories are just horrific. “One lawyer said adding up all the accounts “amounts to a picture not just of forcibly separating thousands of children from their parents, but on a much broader level of a program of forced hunger, forced thirst, forced sleep deprivation, coupled with routine insults, threats, and physical assault...”

Men are sticking with the Republicans as women move away, buttressing a party that would otherwise be falling over. It will be the women that save this country.

James Gunn fired as 'Guardians of the Galaxy 3' director following resurfaced old tweets.

ACA Increases Would Be About Zero in California … If Not For Republican Sabotage.

Home Depot fires 60-year-old black man after Trump supporter screams racist abuse at him.

Fossil fuel industries outspend clean energy advocates on climate lobbying by 10 to 1. “Public opinion is pretty much a minor factor in deciding what Congress is going to do.”

400,000 scientists all over the world have been published in fake journals.

After the Miami Dolphins said they would suspend players for protesting the National Anthem, the NFL is reexamining their rules.

Texas residents plant trees in potholes to protest poor street conditions. That’s funny.

Arizona is one of six states that allows pharmacies and pharmacists to refuse to fill a prescription on religious or moral grounds. This story is disgusting.

U.S. Soccer sold out its LGBTQ fans and players for a better shot at the Women’s World Cup. Jaelene Hinkle may be a good soccer player, but she’s a homophobic person who uses religion to justify her bigotry. There are bigger issues in the world than a game.

Star wrestler loses scholarship after using homophobic slur at Trump rally. Sure, you can believe whatever you want. But the world will stand against you and your hatred if you choose to display it.

“I don’t see any reason to discriminate against homosexuals.” -- Yitzhak Rabin

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
