In Which We Discuss:
1. Robert Mueller holds emergency press conference to remind us that unlike Barr, he has, in fact, read his own report.
2. It remains to be seen whether magic will be enough to get Marianne Williamson, or even Kirsten Gillibrand, into the third Democratic debate.
3. The word “Mueller” is in the news so Trump’s got a genius plan to create a diversion by tanking the entire economy of both the US and Mexico.
4. Math is vindicated once again after study shows that the Trump tax cuts...SHOCK...didn’t work.
5. It’s [name any day] in America so obviously there was another mass shooting.
