And another day of nothing illegal going on, a stupid rally, and what turns out to be a bargain for Medicare-for-all comes to a close:

“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.” -- Vernon Law

For months, Trump had repeated there was "no collusion" between his campaign and Russia. Now, he and his lawyers are saying collusion isn’t illegal.

The Trump administration was repeatedly warned by Health and Human Services that separating immigrant families would be horrific for the children. They did it anyway.

Trump at Tampa rally tonight:

No, you idiot, you don’t need to show ID to buy groceries.

"It's a lot easier to act presidential than to do what I do. Anybody can act presidential." -- Donald Trump

Bernie Sanders’s $32 trillion Medicare-for-all plan is actually kind of a bargain. The federal government would spend a lot more money on health care, but overall US health spending would be about the same as otherwise projected. When you consider a universal single-payer program would 1) cover every single American, eliminating uninsurance and 2) provide much more robust benefits, covering more services than get covered right now, then it starts to look like a good deal. More people covered. More services covered. Same price, more or less.

Facebook has found evidence of influence campaigns targeting U.S. midterms.

U.S. judge blocks release of gun blueprints for 3-D printing.

The Trump administration says people would drive more and be exposed to increased risk if their cars get better gas mileage, an argument intended to justify freezing Obama-era toughening of fuel standards. WTF? No, really. W.T.F?

How LeBron James’ new public school really is the first of its kind. NBA star LeBron James has opened a public school to serve at-risk kids in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. The I Promise School will feature longer school days, emphasize STEM studies and offer counseling and services for kids struggling with issues at home.

Uptick in Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease has doctors sounding alarm.

These shape-shifting materials are pushing the limits of 3D printing.

“Change is the end result of all true learning.” -- Leo Buscaglia

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
