  • For someone who professes to not care about what people and the “left-wing media” say about her, Melania sure loves suing them over shit they say about her! [Washington Post]
  • Don Jr.’s four-minute phone call to a blocked number in advance of his 2016 meeting at Trump Tower was apparently NOT to his daddy, according to several sources. [CNN]
  • Speaking of the sad, bearded man… [Twitter]
  • Can you imagine interviewing for a job with someone who once called you ugly? Heidi Cruz can, because she did, when she interviewed with Donald Trump for the job of World Bank president. [Bloomberg]

  • And how will we pay ICE to forcefeed immigrants detained by the agency in El Paso and elsewhere who are on a hunger strike in protest of their treatment and lengthy stays in detention? [Associated Press]
