So I’ve been dreading the test I had this morning for carpal tunnel syndrome for the past day/day-and-a-half and while I’ve been wallowing in self pity, the world seems to have erupted with news!

• Paul Manafort is found guilty on 8 counts and can be retried on the other 10.
• Michael Cohen pleads guilty to 8 counts, implicating the president in campaign finance violations and conspiracy.
• Omarosa teases a video and then drops it on Hardball but it’s pretty tame compared to others, especially on a day like today.
• Mollie Tibbitts is found dead, sadly. Her accused killer is an undocumented immigrant. I am thinking of her family tonight and I hope they can weather the political games that will be played using their daughter’s memory as a pawn.
• The second congressman to endorse Trump in the election is indicted for serious campaign finance crimes. This follows the first congressman who endorsed Trump, who was indicted for insider trading.
• There are still hundreds of children separated from their families and being held by our government.
• The water system in Flint is still bad.
