Billionaire and Democratic presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg has added CityLab to the growing roster at Bloomberg Media, and the first order of business for the billionaire - oh sorry, did we mention that already? - will be to lay off more than half the reporting staff.🖤😔
According to Mother Jones, Bloomberg Media will only bring seven people from the CityLab staff on board. CityLab, an offshoot website of the Atlantic, currently has about 13 full-time staff and three contractors.
CityLab staff writer Kriston Capps made a point that this may not all be on Bloomberg. It appears that in this acquisition, the Atlantic preemptively laid off the ENTIRE staff. Now SOME can reapply for jobs. Some cannot.
At first campaign visit to California, Bloomberg made a big deal about launching a “war on poverty”. Hope that includes something for these laid-off reporters!🖤

Hours before the Fox News Sunday broadcast, Trump hurled further insults, tweeting: “Hard to believe that Fox News will be interviewing sleazebag [and] totally discredited former FBI Director James Comey”.
The Texas senator Ted Cruz added reinforcement, telling ABC’s This Week the IG report was “unbelievably damning of the Department of Justice and FBI. The abuse of power that occurred there is stunning.”
Neither the president nor the senator pointed out that two of the four Fisa applications were brought to the court by Trump’s own administration.

Asked to explain the contrast between the report’s criticism of serious problems in the Fisa process and his earlier defense of the FBI’s actions as “thoughtful and appropriate”, Comey replied that Horowitz “was right, I was wrong”.
“I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI had built over 20 years. I thought they were robust enough. It’s incredibly hard to get a Fisa and he was right there was real sloppiness. It was not acceptable.”
Comey’s admittance of fallibility, albeit over procedural issues rather than the overriding accusation of bias, is likely to give Trump and his enablers in the Republican party the fuel they need to continue to attack the FBI as the heart of the supposed “deep state”.

Comey, who was fired by 🍊as America’s top law enforcement official in May 2017, came under intense questioning on Fox News Sunday, sparring with anchor Wallace over the findings of the inspector general’s report into the FBI’s investigation 🇷🇺interference in the 2016 election.
Comey seized on one of Michael Horowitz’s main conclusions, that there was no evidence of political bias in the investigation, to launch an impassioned critique of how he and his FBI colleagues had been treated by Trump.
“The FBI was accused of treason, of illegal spying, of tapping Mr Trump’s wires illegally, of opening an investigation without justification, of being a criminal conspiracy to unseat a president. All that was nonsense.”

Baek is Yeolie's hairstylist on a shoot. The model is dozing and Baek can't resist, he strokes his hair gently and Yeolie purrs. He's awake. Holding his breath, Baek asks how it feels. The model smiles up at him shyly. "It feels good. Don't stop...please."
Baekhyun exhales all at once, lips rounding. "O-oh." Yeolie's eyes slip closed again but a tiny smile plays on his lips. "You have really nice hands, Baekhyun-sshi," he murmurs, making the hairstylist flush, fingertips still in the model's soft hair. "Pretty and talented."'
Before Baekhyun can collect himself to reply, the producer pops in. "Is he ready for the next shot?"

Baekhyun shifts a strand of platinum on Yeol's forehead that he sent astray in his shameless petting. "He's perfect."

Yeolie sucks in a short but audible breath.

Title: Paper Crowns

Tired of his boring hometown in the countryside, Jungkook moves to the City for a fresh start. Assuming his neighbor, Taehyung, has done the same, he’s shocked to find Taehyung is actually a runaway prince.

1. #taekook #taekookau

At the age of 21, freshly out of college, and ready for a fresh start, Jeon Jungkook decided to leave town. His town was a small one out in the middle of nowhere, but could best be described as a village. After all, all its 81 inhabitants knew each other.
2. #taekook #taekookau

And that was precisely the problem, Jungkook thought. Life in his town followed the same cycle for everyone. Drop out of school, take over the family farm or business, and then start a family. He remembered 4 years ago, how hard he had to convince his

Senator Graham: "can't say I've read it all, but I've read most of it."

Way to establish confidence in the process! #BarrHearing
Senator Graham recites Mueller's resume. "He has served this country in a variety of circumstances long and well. For those who took time to read the report, I think it was well-written, very thorough."
