I read a pretty amusing story about a lawsuit against the president and his communications staff. The lawsuit is seven people who have been blocked on twitter by Donald trump saying it is unconstitutional for him to block people based upon they’re specific views, all of the people who are suing him were blocked exclusively for expressing their view points and criticizing the white house has said that Mr. Trumps tweets are official statements. I just think that it’s pretty funny to think that not only is the president tweeting in the same way he was previously but also that he considers them official statements.

I read an alarming story about how Donald Trump’s oldest son Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer. He said to have met with the Russian lawyer last year in an attempt to learn potentially damaging thinks about Hillary Clinton. He met with her in trump tower in a secret meeting in June of last year. He claims to have received no meaning full information on Clinton from this meeting. But it is still quite jarring that the trump campaign has had all of these controversies this early into his term.

I read a national geographic story about how just off the coast of North Carolina a new island has formed. The article basically said that it just became visible on day in April, I haven’t given it much thought but just sort f assumed that islands took a very long time to form. But this article has taught me that they don’t take very long to form and that some islands will form and then be gone in just a matter of days. This new island is different to other new, temporary islands in that it is much larger. This new island is over a mile long and a football field across, usually these new islands are very small and don’t even compare to the size of this island.

I read a story about how Hobby Lobby is being sued by the Department Of Justice. Hobby Lobby is being sued for smuggling Iraqi artifacts from Iraq to the United States. They were shipping Cuneiform tablets from Iraq to their main headquarters in Oklahoma. The family that owns Hobby Lobby is currently opening a museum, expected to be open in November, so it is likely that is why they were stolen. These actions break many laws that were put in place for the purpose of preventing historically or culturally significant items from being shipped through the U.S. Hobby Lobby is paying fines amounting to 3 million dollars to settle this lawsuit. The artifacts were being smuggled between 2009 and 2011, but in 2015 the CEO said, when under investigation, that some of the artifacts may have been illegally retrieved.
