House Intel Committee Democrats Released Their Own Report on the Russian Collusion Probe, and They Did Not Hold Back

Earlier today the Republican majority of the House Intelligence Committee ended its investigation into whether Russia colluded with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. Its final report on the matter concluded that there was "no evidence" of coordination.

But Democrats on the committee wasted no time releasing their own minority report on the investigation, which slammed the majority, saying the investigation was merely an effort to "muddy the waters and deflect attention away from the president"


They wrote that the Republican majority:

"shattered its commitment by rushing to end its investigation prematurely, even as it continues to investigate President Donald Trump's political opponents, our intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and diplomatic corps, and former members of the Administration of President Barack Obama."

Ranking member Adam Schiff (D-CA) told USA Today that, quite to the contrary:

"we found evidence of collusion in secret meetings and communications between trump campaign officials and associates such as Manafort, Gates, Papadopoulos, Trump Jr, Flynn, Page, and others, with emissaries and officials from or linked to the Russian government.”

Schiff also said on Friday that Republicans blocked efforts to subpoena phone records of Donald Trump Jr., who allegedly placed a phone call shortly before the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign officials and Russian emissaries.

“We sought to determine whether that number belonged to the president because we also ascertained that then-candidate Trump used a blocked number,” Schiff told the Post. “That would tell us whether Don Jr. sought his father’s permission to take the meeting, and [whether] that was the purpose of that call.”

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
