After years of President Donald Trump calling the Russia investigation a "hoax," the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee released its final report on Russia's interference in the 2016 election.

The nearly 1000 page report details numerous contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian operatives, including from former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, who corresponded with Russian Intelligence agent Konstantin V. Kilimnik.


Manafort fed Kilimnik campaign information before lying to federal agents about doing so.

The lengthy report also includes a letter from Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in 2007, congratulating him for being named Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

The letter reads:

"Dear President Putin:

Congratulations on being named Time magazine's 'Man [sic] of the Year'—you definitely deserve it. As you probably have heard, I am a big fan of yours! Take care of yourself.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump"

Trump has frequently expressed admiration for Putin, who's largely deemed one of the most authoritarian and corrupt leaders in the developed world. Trump has reportedly expressed a desire to meet with Putin in-person ahead of the 2020 election, even as officials warn that Russia continues its efforts to sabotage the election in favor of Trump.

The letter generated widespread mockery.






For some, the gushing letter gave insight to the years Trump has expressed favor for Putin.

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

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.
