THE GAO SAYS TRUMP BROKE THE LAW By withholding aid to Ukraine without Congressional approval. They say doing so violated the Impoundment Control Act by withholding the aid for a policy reason. Here is a good breakdown of what the ICA does for your info, and it does appear that Trump's move does violate the law. We'll see if that is enough to flip enough Senators for a guilty verdict. I'm guessing no.

WHY ARE SO MANY HIGH EARNERS LEAVING NEW YORK FOR FLORIDA? It's the size of government stupid. This is a really interesting article about a Cato study on the low tax, smaller government state of Florida and the bloated government, high tax state of New York. The difference is striking and makes it completely understandable that people who face ridiculous confiscatory tax rates would just up and move.

WHAT IS IT WITH BOSTON SPORTS TEAMS AND CHEATING? Alex Cora, who managed the Boston Red Sox to the World Series Championship last year, is out. Why? He created an elaborate scheme to steal signs. Does this mean Boston loses it's ring? Or does it just indicate that Boston sports is patently corrupt. We need to keep an eye out on the Celtics and Bruins if you ask me.

THAT NO HANDSHAKE? THAT'S NOT ALL THAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE DEBATE Liz Warren was criticized for not shaking Bernie Sanders hand at the end of the Democratic Debate the other night, but that's not all that happened. CNN dug and dug until they unearthed audio of the verbal exchange between the two.

That's awkward. And now Progressives are desperate to keep the two from destroying each other.

AND NOW, A COOL STORY ON THE OCTOPUS From our friends at CBS Sunday Morning

A BILLIONAIRE IS BUYING A GIRLFRIEND AND 20,000 DAMES HAVE APPLIED Did you see the story of the Japanese billionaire who is offering to fly a chick to the moon with him as long as she's his girlfriend? Well his scheme seems to be working. I always think this stuff is really sad but to each his own.

SO JUST HOW IS IMPEACHMENT GOING TO WORK? USA Today has a handy guide of what this dumpster fire might look like.

COULD OUR MASSIVE OVERSPENDING LEAD TO A CULTURAL AWAKENING? This column is super interesting. You guys know I'm always pissed about government spending, but this guy makes the case that the coming debt criris...and it is coming....could lead us back to the cultural values we left behind. Read it, it's very thought provoking.

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A BIT LATE TO SHUT DOWN PUPPY MILLS There is a bill that mirrors a bill in California (surprise, surprise) that would ban pet stores from selling dogs and cats. The goal is to eliminate "puppy mills" but breeder organizations have pretty much already done that in Colorado. This bill will put small pet stores out of business. Period. I'm all for making sure dogs and cats are bred responsibly, but this feels more like the puppy shaming that takes place when someone decides to buy a specific breed rather than adopt. Trust me, I got a crapload of it when I bought my dog. A saint Bernard from a family who bred their dog ONE time, thank you. Not to mention people use the internet to find dogs, including those at pet stores.

PELOSI MAKES A MOCKERY OF HER ALLEGEDLY SERIOUS IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES By making it a celebratory event and giving out souvenir pens. Solemn and serious indeed.

WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HOW WHEN THE CAPITOL IS IMPACTED HOMELESSNESS IS OFFICIALLY A PROBLEM I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. When homelessness impacts the people who make our laws, SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. Read this. We shall discuss.

I HATE IT WHEN A MOVIE I WAS EXCITED ABOUT LOOKS LIKE A BOMB And Doolittle appears to be that film right now. I love the story, I loved the original and I even loved the Eddie Murphy version. WHO DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO ANIMALS??? The new movie is being savaged by critics.

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THINGS LIKE THIS TO PIZZA? This goes well beyond the cutting controversy of earlier this week. Now some jackhole has put KIWI on PIZZA. The internet was not kind.

YES, YOU CAN EAT HEALTHY AND NOT COOK FROM SCRATCH But it takes strategery and planning. Here's a super short video with some ideas.
