Well, Trump was out of the country this week, and even though he was doing some obnoxious garbage out and about in the world, it wasn't happening in our borders. I did my best to ignore him, give myself a week off from thinking about him. And it's Memorial Day weekend and I am enjoying the heck out of it, so this week is an "I care just enough to do the very least" week, and I am not sorry for that! No question of the week, just the highlights of what happened back here on the homefront. Take some time to check in with the big stories of the week and then go out there and enjoy the sun!
Russia
This week in the Russia investigation, including a strange-looking chart, and a timeline of events leading up to now.
Trump asked top members of the intelligence community to deny that there is any evidence between Russia and his campaign.
Some more information about the Russia investigations this week. Yes, that is plural. This is the America we live in now.
Jeff Sessions seriously just needs to go.
Miscellaneous
I know, I know, yes, it's Fox News. This person tells a first-person account of what happened with Gianforte body slamming the reporter earlier this week. I thought it was important that it was a story being told on Fox News, and therefore, I am sharing it.
This is why we can't have nice things. I'm sure Tillerson was very happy to have to make this apology.
More gerrymandering has been struck down by the Supreme Court. This time for the state of North Carolina.
This week in science, fossil evidence has challenged the long-held thought that all hominins(not to be confused with hominids)evolved in Africa. This new evidence would put them north of Africa, in the Mediterranean region of Europe. This evidence does not alter the still-held belief that Homo Sapiens started and evolved in Africa. It would just mean that at some point in time, another species traveled south, to Africa, and eventually evolved and/or bred into the species known as Homo Sapiens.
The FCC has finished their investigation into the Stephen Colbert Trump joke complaints, and have chosen not to do anything about it.
An investigation into an airstrike by the US in March shows that we killed about 140 civilians when we bombed a building in Mosul, Iraq.
Checking back in with the state of the Senate's work on the Affordable Care Act repeal. Spoiler alert: It's not going well...
