And another day of actual collusion comes to a close:

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” -- George Orwell, Animal Farm

The Justice Department discussed the Mueller report with the White House ahead of its release. Hmmm. That really doesn’t make Trump look innocent. It makes him look the opposite. It also prompts the question: Did Trump get to make some decisions on the redactions?

Almost two years in the making, a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Trump campaign and Russian meddling in the 2016 election is expected to be made public Thursday morning.

The Justice Departments said it will release two versions of redacted Mueller report.

Editorial: But the report won’t be released with enough time for journalists to digest what’s in it before the Barr press conference in the morning, thereby guaranteeing there won’t be any questions of substance during the presser. Yep. That was the strategy. Don’t listen to Barr’s spin on the report. His job is to make it seem much worse than it really is.

Most of the people currently in the Democratic presidential race do not have to sacrifice their current jobs to run.

Notre Dame Cathedral fire spurs Islamophobic conspiracy theories on social media. Because some people are just horrible.

Police say she was infatuated with the Columbine shooting. She's not alone.

Scientists call teen girls killed over bad breakups a 'public health issue'. The researchers published a report in the JAMA Pediatrics medical journal this week that found that nine out of 10 teens and adolescents killed by a dating partner are girls, and more than a quarter of those deaths were caused by jealousy, a breakup or resisting the relationship.

Texas is poised to make it easier to jail people for voting errors. When Crystal Mason was sentenced to 5 years in prison in Texas for illegally voting, it sparked national outrage. Now, Texas is set to increase penalties - including longer prison sentences - for people who vote by mistake, they say to combat voter fraud. Mmm hmmm. A good chance these people will probably be dark skinned. In addition, isn’t this kind of a voter suppression tactic? If you’re afraid of making an error, you might not vote.

“Schools are segregated because white people want them that way." "It's not simply a matter of zip codes or housing segregation or class; it's because most white Americans do not wish to enroll their children in schools with large numbers of black kids."

More affluent neighborhoods are creating their own school districts and fencing-out low-income students of color. And legislators are helping them.

Same-sex couples applying for a mortgage face more rejection and higher rates.

Arizona Teachers Can Now Discuss LGBTQ Issues Without Worrying About The Law. Really? It took until April, 2019 for this to be so?

Carl's Jr. is testing out a cannabis burger at a location in Denver, Colorado. It features a sauce infused with CBD, or cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive hemp derivative.

Denver may become the first US city to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms.

Measles cases in U.S. surge nearly 20% in early April, CDC says.

Babies with "bubble boy disease" cured using gene therapy made from one of the immune system's worst enemies — HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Scientists restore brain circulation and some cell activity in pigs' brains hours after the animals died in a slaughterhouse. New finding challenges the long-held view that brain cells undergo sudden and irreversible damage after death.

Scientists in Israel have unveiled a 3D print of a heart -- about the size of a rabbit's -- with human tissue and vessels, calling it a "first" and a "major medical breakthrough" that advances possibilities for transplants.

Scientists have detected the earliest Big Bang molecule in space.

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
