RICHARD PAINTER<\/strong>. Former GOP White House lawyer running for Al Franken\u2019s seat in Minnesota, as a Democrat<\/a>: \u201cPainter served as chief White House ethics lawyer to President George W. Bush. He\u2019s emerged as a top Republican critic of Trump and is a frequent guest on MSNBC and CNN. His entry as a Democrat triggers an endorsement fight and potentially a primary for Democratic Sen.

Trump to attend NRA convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n NYT<\/strong>. Justice Kennedy, please stay<\/a>: \u2018Do you want to give your seat to a president whose campaign and administration are under criminal investigation, whose closest aides have been indicted or have pleaded guilty to federal crimes? A president with so little regard for or understanding of the role of the judiciary, the separation of powers and the rule of law? A president who nominated to the federal bench someone who\u00a0called you a \u201cjudicial prostitute\u201d<\/a>?\u2019<\/p>\n REMEMBER THAT RIDER<\/strong>. Horses can remember if you smiled or frowned the last time they saw you<\/a>: \u201cHorses prefer to look at negative and threatening sights with their left eye, and positive social stimuli with their right eye. In the study, when they saw a model they had seen frowning earlier, they spent more time looking with their left eye. They also exhibited more stress-related behaviours, like scratching and floor sniffing. In contrast, when they saw a model they had seen smiling earlier, they spent more time looking with their right eye.\u201d<\/p>\n DANNY JONES<\/strong>. \u201cTree Man\u201d exposes his thick branch<\/a> (wk-unfriendly).<\/p>\n SURFING RECORD OF THE DAY<\/strong>.
