GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! She turns on TV, guess who she sees? Skater boy rockin' up MTV. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

Tensions are palpable and rising in Washington, DC (especially with Trump and his criminal cronies) regarding rumors that Attorney General William Barr is on the verge of announcing that the much-anticipated Mueller report might be dropping soon. (BUT CHILL! It could be weeks before the American public learns anything of value. Here's a helpful guide to lead you through what will probably be a nail-biting process.)


Former FBI Director James Comey says he doesn't know what the Mueller investigation will reveal, and he "doesn't care," citing the primary need that it needs to be an open and transparent process.

Human whack-a-mole Roseanne Barr is popping up again in a bid to grab our attention, but she's not saying anything of interest. IGNORE.

GOOD NEWS: A Wisconsin judge has blocked the state's Republican legislators from their desperate, last minute attempts to strip power from incoming Democratic Governor Tony Evers.
