The White House is being uncooperative: I mean, what did we expect? But still. The White House has not voluntarily turned over the pertinent documents that Democrats have requested in regards to the Ukraine call. The White House has been ghosting House Democrats and their attempts to obtain relevant documents to the impeachment proceedings. Representative Elijah Cummings, chair of the Oversight and Reform Committee, warned that he would subpoena the documents on Friday. The impeachment investigation is intensifying.

The new campus is swanky. There are wi-fi routers buried in artificial rocks scattered across the area. There's a SIX STORY parking garage. Traffic is going to explode. But Expedia will give employees $5 every day they don't drive.

Always check the back seat before you jack a car! Step one could also be "Don't jack a car," but if you're dead set on jacking a car, at least make sure there aren't any kids in the back. Some carjackers stole a car in Maple Leaf. It had the owner's children in the back seat. That's maybe why the car was found abandoned two miles away in Lake City. The children were unhurt, and the thieves were nowhere to be found.

This seems... bad: The US government is going to start taking DNA samples from the immigrants in its detention centers so it can create a national criminal database. Cool. Right. That's not worrisome at all. The Justice Department is currently developing a federal regulation to give Department of Homeland Security officers the power to collect genetic samples in detention facilities. They would also be allowed to collect DNA from children. This isn't "protection," this is population surveillance.

Metro Transit worker got roughed up by King County deputies: And Kelvin Kirkpatrick is pretty sure it's because he got two King County Sheriff’s deputies fired in 2015. During that incident, Kirkpatrick claimed harassment and video footage he took was enough to get the deputies fired. Now, he fears he's facing retaliation. This past April, he alleges that deputies roughed him up on the light rail for not paying a fare. Kirkpatrick was in his Metro uniform and on duty. Drama ensued, and eventually a deputy asked if Kirkpatrick wouldn't show them his driver's license because he was the one who filed the complaint in 2015 that got two officers fired. Weird that he would just, you know, know that...

University of Washington students aren't sure how they feel about having a homeless shelter as their neighbor.

Here is the weather: Some chance of rain. Mostly normal.

The mysterious case of Jeffrey Epstein's successful business: After the 2008 recession and Epstein's guilty plea for sex with a minor, Epstein lost a boatload of money. Yet in 2012, his company—a new venture in DNA research, which is a weird pivot from financial services—raked in $200 million over five years, it reported. But no one knows who paid the company or, frankly, why they did.

How did Australia get involved in this shitshow?: Attorney General William Barr and professional lackey Lindsey Graham both wanted to make sure that Australia was investigating the origins of the Mueller investigation. They sent letters. Because obviously Australia has its ears to the streets on that matter. Anyway, Australia responded to both of them.

Canadian bears are going hungry: Don't click on the link unless you want to see very deflated grizzly bears. Hibernation is right around the corner, and bears spotted in Canada are looking thin and hungry. Salmon populations, which provide the bears' main source of food,are at an all-time low. Canada's climate is reportedly warming twice as fast as the global average. Salmon ecosystems are hurting and their runs are bone dry. Fisheries on Vancouver Island have donated hundreds of fish to be fed to the bears.

Four police officers dead in Paris knife attack: A longtime administrative employee at the Paris police headquarters whipped out a knife and started stabbing officers in his department. Four died before an officer shot and killed the assailant.

Check out this weird fight:

A runaway zebra: Two zebras escaped a circus in Germany. One zebra was captured. The other got onto the autobahn and created a traffic nightmare. That included smashing up a couple of cars and causing an accident—which feels like a pretty normal outcome for drivers encountering a zebra on a highway. Anyway, the zebra was shot and killed and that's that.
