<\/p>\nCarter Page, Chips for Women, Julian Castro, Ivanka Trump, Robert Pattinson, Billings: HOT LINKS<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
LEANING LEFT<\/strong>. New Gallup poll shows number of conservative-leaning states dropping<\/a>: \u201cAccording to the survey, Rhode Island, California, Oregon, Maryland and Washington joined the ranks of liberal-leaning states last year. They join Vermont and Massachusetts, both of which have scored net-liberal in the survey since 2013, as well as New York and Connecticut, which have leaned liberal the past two years.\u201d<\/p>\n STOP THE CRUNCH<\/strong>. Pepsi developing snack chip for women (because they apparently don\u2019t like crunching).<\/a><\/p>\n CARTER PAGE<\/strong>. On his communication with Trump:\u00a0 \u201cI never spoke with him any time in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Ex-Trump adviser Carter Page, at the center of memo showdown, sits down one-on-one with @GStephanopoulos<\/a>: t.co\/7Ix4gLnOwM<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/epEtQUCHvG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Good Morning America (@GMA) February 6, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n DON\u2019T SAY ANYTHING<\/strong>. Trump\u2019s lawyers advise him not to talk to Robert Mueller in Russia probe<\/a>: \u201cHis lawyers are concerned that the president, who has a history of making false statements and contradicting himself, could be charged with lying to investigators. Their stance puts them at odds with Mr. Trump, who has said publicly and privately that he is eager to speak with Mr. Mueller as part of the investigation into possible ties between his associates and Russia\u2019s election interference, and whether he obstructed justice.\u201d<\/p>\n MONTANA<\/strong>. Billings mayor denounces racist and anti-gay vandalism against Grace United Methodist Church, Lewis & Clark Middle School, Senior High School and Pioneer Park<\/a>: \u2018The crimes \u201care not a prank or a minor infraction that can be tolerated,\u201d Cole said at the outset of Monday\u2019s city council work session. \u201cSwastikas and hate speech are intended to intimidate and imply a threat of physical violence.\u201d\u00a0\u201cWords aren\u2019t enough,\u201d the mayor said, adding that members of the LGBTQ community and others \u201cwho feel threatened by these crimes deserve to know what the city is doing to prevent similar crimes in the future.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n SENEGAL<\/strong>. Trans woman says she\u2019s afraid to go outside during the day amid LGBT crackdown<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cOnly at night. I don\u2019t even want to open my door.\u201d<\/p>\n BRUTAL<\/strong>. Why are murders of gay and bi men up a staggering 400 percent?<\/a> \u2018The great majority of these homicides, which include killers who lured their queer male<\/a> victims using social media apps, weren\u2019t committed by men<\/a> involved with neo-Nazis or white supremacist groups. But those hate groups and their allies may feel emboldened by a president\u00a0who talked about the neo-Nazi rally<\/a>\u00a0that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year as having \u201cvery fine people\u201d on \u201cboth sides.\u201d And according to another ADL report, white supremacists hate groups are\u00a0organizing on campuses<\/a>, targeting college students.\u00a0Those factors, in turn,\u00a0have added to the culture of fear in which rising violence against LGBTQ individuals has taken place.\u2019<\/p>\n ANTIGUA<\/strong>. Robert Pattinson has retreated to the secluded island to get ripped<\/a>.<\/p>\n TAXI OF THE FUTURE?<\/strong> Manned drone takes test flight. \u201cOn February 6, EHANG announced that the EHANG 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle has achieved a series of manned flight tests carrying one and two passengers, including EHANG CEO and all executives, as well as many Guangzhou government officials.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n TRAILER OF THE DAY<\/strong>.

JULIAN CASTRO<\/strong>. I have every interest in running for president<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cPart of the process of figuring out whether I\u2019m going to run is going to listen to folks and feel the temperature\u201d of voters.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Ivanka](\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ivanka_trump.jpeg?resize=195%2C195\")
