This Proposed Legislation Would Shut Up Jeff Sessions
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Tuesday introduced legislation to end the federal prohibition on marijuana and encourage states to legalize pot.
The legislation would amend the Controlled Substance Act to eliminate marijuana's status as a Schedule 1 drug — a move that would decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.

A quote from EX Communication Director, Anthony Scaramucci

Anthony Scaramucci out as White House communications director
It's the latest high-profile departure from the Trump White House. Chief of Staff Reince Priebus resigned at the end of last week, replaced by John Kelly, whose first day is Monday.

I'm curious. Will Trump's new chief of staff, former General John Kelly, be as Putin friendly as Tump?

Scaramucci Sounds Like Tony Soprano. What A Vulgar Pig.
On Wednesday night, I received a phone call from Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House communications director. He wasn’t happy. Earlier in the night, I’d tweeted, citing a “senior White House official,” that Scaramucci was having dinner at the White House with President Trump, the First Lady, Sean Hannity, and the former Fox News executive Bill Shine. It was an interesting group, and raised some questions. Was Trump getting strategic advice from Hannity? Was he considering hiring Shine? But Scaramucci had his own question—for me.
“Who leaked that to you?” he asked.

Free Lipstick Ladies Tomorrow! Really!
In a world where it seems like there's always a catch, whether it's a free dessert for checking in at a restaurant or getting a chance to win big if you retweet, it's easy to be cynical...We checked long and hard for strings, catches, and fine print on this one, but the only thing you have to do is get yourself to a MAC store or retailer on July 29 (this Saturday) to snag a free, full-sized, normally $17 lipstick while supplies last (stock and selection varies by location).
