"Why won’t the first lady show up for her job? Why? I became obsessed with this question and eventually looked to Melania’s Twitter history for answers. I noticed that in the three-year period between June 3, 2012 and June 11, 2015 she tweeted 470 photos which she appeared to have taken herself. I examined these photographs as though they were a body of work.

Everyone has an eye, whether or not we see ourselves as photographers. What we choose to photograph and how we frame subjects always reveals a little about how we perceive the world. For someone like Melania, media-trained, controlled and cloistered, her collection of Twitter photography provides an otherwise unavailable view into the reality of her existence. Nowhere else — certainly not in interviews or public appearances — is her guard so far down.

What is that reality? She is Rapunzel with no prince and no hair, locked in a tower of her own volition, and delighted with the predictability and repetition of her own captivity.

Why not move to the White House? Let’s see."

"Before going to the dinner, Comey practiced Trump’s likely questions and his answers with a small group of his most trusted confidants, the associates said, in part to ensure he did not give Trump any ammunition to use against him later.

The director did not take notes during the dinner with the president, but there were times, one associate recalled, when after meeting with Trump, Comey started writing notes as soon as he got into a car, “to make sure he could accurately record what was said.’’

Another associate said the notes of the January dinner conversation contained very nuanced quotes from the president and a high level of detail."

"Even though damning revelations keep dropping about disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, it seems at least one person inside the White House wants him back: President Donald Trump.

White House sources tell the Daily Beast that Trump has “expressed his hopes that a resolution of the FBI’s investigation in Flynn’s favor might allow Flynn to rejoin the White House in some capacity.” Trump advisers both inside and outside the White House, however, have reportedly told him that bringing Flynn back in any role would be a very bad idea."

But now a whistle-blower, a former well-placed official at UnitedHealth Group, asserts that the big insurance companies have been systematically bilking Medicare Advantage for years, reaping billions of taxpayer dollars from the program by gaming the payment system.

This can’t be the first time Donald Trump gave classified intel to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak

Follow the dots: Donald Trump and Sergey Kislyak first officially met backstage at a campaign speech in April 2016 (link). Trump was not yet the Republican nominee and he was therefore not yet being classified intel briefings. But Kislyak’s attendance at Trump’s first-ever foreign policy speech of the campaign was a harbinger of just how thoroughly Kislyak was pulling Trump’s strings the entire time. By the time of the Republican Convention, Kislyak was once again in attendance, and several of Trump’s advisers met with Kislyak as he rewrote a portion of the Republican party charter to his liking.

During the transition period, Trump adviser Michael Flynn made several phone calls to Kislyak. Flynn has since been exposed as a paid foreign agent of Russia. Did Trump give classified intel to Flynn, who then gave it to Kislyak? Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner also met with Kislyak during the transition (link). And these are just the Kislyak meetings we know about. It’s nearly a given that the loose lipped Trump shared classified intel with his entire circle. Which if any of them turned around and gave it to the Russian Ambassador? These questions must now be answered.

"Anybody that was exposed, we encourage them to seek medical attention immediately," a California public health official stated.

On May 5, more than 50 farmworkers outside of Bakersfield, California, were exposed to a highly toxic pesticide that apparently drifted from a nearby field—at a high enough level that "twelve people reported symptoms of vomiting [and] nausea and one person fainted," reports the television news station Kern Golden Empire. "An additional twelve workers did not show signs of any symptoms," the station reported. "However more than half of the farm workers left before medical aide arrived."

Public health authorities took the poisoning quite seriously. "Anybody that was exposed, that was here today, we encourage them to seek medical attention immediately. Don't wait. Particularly if you're suffering from any symptoms. Whether it's nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seek medical attention immediately," Michelle Corson, public relations officer at Kern County Public Health, said in an announcement to the TV station.
