IMPEACHMENT<\/strong>. White House refuses to participate in first House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday<\/a>. \u2018The\u00a0committee will hold a hearing on Wednesday titled \u201cThe Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment.\u201d The panel\u00a0will hear from legal scholars as Democrats weigh whether the evidence turned up in their weeks-long impeachment inquiry warrants the drafting of articles aimed at removing the president from office.\u2019<\/p>\n

HER TURF<\/strong>. New biography of Melania Trump\u2019s discontent with Ivanka as well as<\/a> \u201cthat she sleeps in a separate bed from the president, that she doesn\u2019t really care about her \u201cBe Best\u201d anti-bullying campaign, and that her hospitalization for kidney problems in May 2018 was much more serious than the media had first reported.\u201d<\/p>\n

BE BEST.<\/strong> No blood red trees in Melania Trump\u2019s White House decorations this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AIDS VACCINE?<\/strong> Three ongoing vaccine trials offer hope<\/a>: \u201cWhile any of these three late-stage HIV vaccine trials \u2014 known as HVTN 702, Imbokodo and Mosaico \u2014 could fail, scientists say they are more hopeful than at any time since 1984, when Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret Heckler raised hopes by predicting that there would be a test-worthy HIV vaccine within two years.\u201d<\/p>\n

ZAMBIA<\/strong>. U.S. Ambassador to Zambia blasts high court ruling sentencing two men to 15 years in prison for homosexuality<\/a>: \u201cI was personally horrified to read yesterday about the sentencing of two men<\/a>, who had a consensual relationship, which hurt absolutely no one, to 15 years imprisonment,\u201d he said in an emailed statement Friday. \u201cDecisions like this oppressive sentencing do untold damage to Zambia\u2019s international reputation by demonstrating that human rights in Zambia\u201d are \u201cnot a universal guarantee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: What was the nature of your meeting with Trump? Can you say?<\/p>\n

ZUCKERBERG: “Ah, sure, I mean, we talked about, ahm, a number of things that were on his mind, and, um, some of the topics that you’d read about in the news around, around, um, our work.” pic.twitter.com\/b2rqHoZrn7<\/a><\/p>\n

JOHN MCWHORTER<\/strong>. The woke attack on Pete Buttigieg<\/a>: \u201cPique of this heat in this situation seems totally unjustified, unless you perceive Buttigieg\u2019s comments as a form of blasphemy. It is as if Buttigieg gave a Christian sermon without mentioning God or Jesus, or listed only five Commandments. It\u2019s one thing to observe that someone\u2019s analysis is incomplete. It\u2019s another to read that incompleteness as a kind of willful denial, sit in fury, and tar someone as a lying MF guilty of negligent homicide. As I\u2019ve\u00a0said before<\/a>, this sort of response is more religious than rational; it bypasses the bounds of logic into the realm of imposed liturgy, of ritual: We are less to think than to pose and follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALABAMA<\/strong>. Rosa Parks statue unveiled<\/a>: \u201cThis depiction will inspire future generations to make the pilgrimage to our city, to push toward the path of righteousness, strength, courage and equality,\u201d said Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, who took office as the first African-American mayor of the city last month.<\/p>\n

CASTING<\/strong>. Ryan Murphy casts queer actress Jo Ellen Pellman for lead role in The Prom<\/em><\/a>: \u201cPellman will star as Emma, a high school senior in Indiana who is banned from taking her girlfriend<\/a> to the prom.
