And another day of going around the mulberry bush comes to a close:

“We are all one world, and that is the important thing that we have to recognize.” -- Sir David Attenborough

Trump’s Lawyer Said There Were “No Plans” For Trump Tower Moscow. Here They Are.

Trump plan to reopen government, build border wall undercut by Supreme Court.

By a 5-4 vote, Supreme Court allows Trump administration to enforce transgender military ban.

"More Americans pessimistic about Trump's presidency than any presidency in last 25 years". It’s because his presidency is dangerous, divisive, and just plain horrible.

Trump says he has told Sarah Sanders 'not to bother' with daily White House press briefing. But she still collects a salary while 800,000 federal employees are forced to work without getting paid.

Roe v. Wade was decided 46 years ago today. This is what it was like before women had the legal right to an abortion. Her death was so horrible that it made him, he recalls, physically ill. He describes his anger, but says he didn’t quite know with whom to be angry. It took him another 20 years to understand that it was not the abortionist who killed her—it was the legal system, the lawmakers who had forced her away from the medical community, who “…killed her just as surely as if they had held the catheter or the coat hanger or whatever. I’m still angry. It was all so unnecessary.”...Women of all kinds seek and have always sought abortion: married, single, in their twenties, thirties, and forties, teenagers. Some have no children, some have several already. Some never want children, some want children later. They are churchgoers, atheists, agnostics. They are morally upright pillars of the community, they are prostitutes. They’re promiscuous, they’re monogamous, they’re recent virgins. They get pregnant under all kinds of circumstances: consensual sex, nonconsensual sex, sex that falls somewhere between consensual and nonconsensual. Some are drunk or using drugs, some never even touch an aspirin. Some use no birth control, some use birth control that fails. ... A society that does not accept the facts is a childish society, and a society that makes abortion illegal—and I believe that the PBAB is a calculated step in exactly that direction—is a cruel and backward society that makes being female a crime.

The Trump administration keeps taking care of big oil.

Congress now wants Twitter to explain how that Covington teens video went viral. Sheesh. Morons.

A total of 72% of polled Americans now say global warming is personally important to them, according to the Yale program on climate change communication. This is the highest level of concern since Yale starting polling the question in 2008.

A person infected with measles attended a Portland Trail Blazers home game in Oregon last week amid an outbreak that has left at least 21 people ill this month in neighboring Washington state.

The usually rushing waters at Niagara Falls are frozen, and it's stunning.

Saturn's Rings are Only 10 to 100 Million Years Old.

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
