And another day of the rich trafficking young girls, “Unalienable Rights,” embracing religion, and giving birth to the wrong children comes to a close:

“Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity.” — Carl Sagan

Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is accused of running a sex trafficking ring and paying girls as young as 14 for sex, an unsealed indictment says.

All the assault allegations against Donald Trump, recapped. “She claims she was repeatedly raped by Trump and Jeffery Epstein at Epstein’s New York City apartment in 1994, when she was 13 years old.” Do MAGA lovers really love child rapists?

Justin Amash on what his GOP colleagues say behind closed doors. "(Trump) thinks people owe loyalty to him, but people are elected to Congress with an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not an oath to support and defend one person, the President who happens to be from your own party," Amash said.

Nancy Pelosi has chosen her war, and it’s with her own party’s future. To be clear: none of these freshmen Democrats have personally attacked Pelosi and all four of them backed her bid for the speakership. As CNN’s Nathan McDermott tweeted, “It is pretty notable that the most vocally anti-Pelosi Democrats (ala the moderates in swing districts who opposed her leadership) don’t get as much criticism from her as the left-wing of the party.” Yep. Worth the read.

Mitch McConnell's great-great-grandfathers owned 14 slaves. McConnell has opposed paying reparations to descendants of slaves, though census records show his family, like many others, benefited from their labor.

Congressional Democrats subpoena Trump businesses in an escalation of the fight to get his financial records. The DOJ wants a court to block them. Hmmm, isn’t that weird?

Mike Pompeo unveils new "Unalienable Rights" commission — and progressive groups fear what it might do.

Trump tweets that his administration will no longer deal with UK ambassador. Trump is so “inept” and “insecure.”

A matter of faith: Democrats embrace religion in campaign.

The USWNT lawsuit isn't just challenging pay disparity -- it also claims the US Soccer Federation has denied women equal playing, training and travel conditions, as well as equal promotion, support and development for their games.

$15 Minimum Wage Would Boost 17 Million Workers, Cut 1.3 Million Jobs, CBO Says.

The biggest lie in Trump's environmental speech today.

The best way to fight global warming? A new study suggests planting at least a trillion trees.

Florida principal refused to call the Holocaust a 'factual, historical event'.

Teen odds of using marijuana dip when states legalize recreational use. The new results echo a study showing a decline in teen use after sales of recreational pot began in 2014 in Washington state.

US couple say they gave birth to the wrong children. A lawsuit filed by the couple in New York states that the couple was shocked to give birth to two boys who were not of Asian descent.

On average, older adults spend over half their waking hours alone.

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
