And another day of orders, blocks, holds, and resignations comes to a close:

“Democracy passes into despotism.” -- Plato

President Trump orders intelligence agencies to assist Attorney General William Barr with review of the Russia investigation.

The Trump administration is set to announce $16 billion in federal government aid to farmers hurt by the Trump administration's trade war with China. This, ladies and gentlemen, is “good socialism,” meant to keep those that voted for a man who’s made decisions that have hurt their livelihoods from directing their support elsewhere.

Federal judge blocks Mississippi abortion ban.

Federal judge blocks Trump from using Defense funds for parts of border wall.

Scientists Showed How More Guns Led To More Violent Crime.

The Supreme Court puts on hold gerrymandering rulings in Michigan and Ohio.

Britain's May says she will step down on June 7.

Hundreds of towns have passed nuisance ordinances that evict renters for calling the cops. Renters can find themselves on the streets simply for asking for help. Um. WTF?

Another dead dolphin with a stomach full of plastic was discovered in Florida. During a necropsy, a two-foot plastic shower hose was discovered inside the animal.

Using full-body MRIs, Ezra can now detect 11 cancers in men and 13 in women. This is pretty awesome.

The US Senate passes a bill cracking down on robocalls.

Alabama votes to end marriage licenses.

Nearly 600 pit bulls and roosters rescued in animal-fighting probe in Indiana. “Animal fighting is one of the most heinous forms of animal cruelty, and sadly it is far more common in the United States than many people realize,” she said in a statement. “To betray animals by forcing them to fight for their lives for so-called entertainment is despicable." There are so many horrible people in this world.

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
