Boeing and Porsche are "moving into the third dimension of travel" together. According to today's announcement, the companies "are developing a concept for a fully electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle." Whether Boeing and Porsche will actually start manufacturing and selling these things is up in the air (sorry) but they "will implement and test a prototype."

Just make sure they don't nosedive, okay, Boeing? "The announcement did not include any details about the amount of money or other resources the two companies plan to invest in the effort, or a target date or price range," CNN reports.

Douchebag who ran WeWork into the ground is no longer a billionaire. "Earlier this year, Adam Neumann appeared on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, with a net worth of $4.1 billion. Today, Forbes is lowering our estimate of his wealth to at most $600 million. WeWork declined to comment for this article. Neumann also had no comment," Forbes reports.

Did you know it's now called The We Company? That... is hilarious. What, was "The Pee-Pee Company" taken? Also... are they going to change their signage?

Forty-three (!) more women have come forward with allegations against Donald Trump. The allegations are being made in a new book called All the President's Women, which has just been excerpted in Esquire. "While the president has publicly faced allegations from two dozen women, this book reveals another 43 allegations of alleged inappropriate behavior, including 26 instances of unwanted sexual contact."

About those arrests of Rudy Giuliani's associates in Ukraine, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, pictured above. As mentioned in Slog AM, these gargoyles were arrested at Dulles Airport last night. According to the 21-page indictment against them, they "conspired to circumvent the federal laws against foreign influence by engaging in a scheme to funnel foreign money to candidates for federal and State office."

In other words: They "are reported to have assisted Giuliani in his alleged efforts to investigate Joe Biden and his family ahead of the 2020 election," The Atlantic explains. They were "charged with campaign-finance violations, with prosecutors alleging that they had conspired to funnel money from a Russian donor into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign."

But that's not all! "Along with allegedly using a shell company to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and a pro-Trump super PAC, Parnas and Fruman were also accused by federal prosectors of meddling in American political activities on behalf of one or more Ukrainian officials."

Republican Governor of Florida Ron Desantis: Just announced he'll be giving back money these guys gave him. "In June of 2018, they gave the Friends of Ron DeSantis political committee $50,000 through a company called Global Energy Producers. They made the contribution one day before Trump endorsed DeSantis for Florida governor," Miami Herald reports.

Giuliani had lunch with the two men hours before they were arrested. So reports the Wall Street Journal. Where did they eat? The Trump International Hotel in Washington, duh. CNN has more here.

This is the first time someone connected to the Ukraine scandal has been arrested. Is Giuliani next? The House could arrest him, The New York Times reminds us.

Which brings us to this Onion headline:

Also in Ukraine news: Rick Perry gets subpoenaed by the House. "The subpoena demands documents related to Perry's knowledge of Trump’s July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president," Politico reports. "Three House committees investigating the episode note that Perry reportedly encouraged Trump to make the phone call."

Andrew Gillum as a possible VP contender for Elizabeth Warren? “If you’re trying to win Florida, I would be courting Andrew and that’s what’s happening,” a source told The Daily Beast. The campaign officially denies it, but of course any campaign would deny VP whisperings right now.

Speaking of Elizabeth Warren: Did you know she went hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail when she was visiting the Pacific Northwest a month ago? "Elizabeth Warren got a break from the relentless campaign trail by hiking actual trails in the North Cascades and relaxing in the Methow Valley," Methow Valley News reported a month ago. (I somehow missed it.)

Did you know Joe Biden is still in the race? The former frontrunner finally came out in favor of impeachment yesterday. Way to go, champ. It only took you (checks notes)... whoa, six months since Elizabeth Warren first called for impeachment? Where the hell have you been, old sport?

And how about those Republicans? You know—the folks Biden is more concerned about winning over than Democrats? They're still absolutely refusing to answer whether they think it's okay for a US President to ask foreign actors to investigate their political rivals. Look at Colorado Senator Cory Gardner refuse to answer the question five times in a row.

Go see some art, why dontcha? Rich Smith saw Indecent at Seattle Rep and raved about it. Jasmyne Keimig played with light and sound sculptures at Glass Box Gallery and recommends going stoned (they're open 12 to 5 tomorrow and Saturday). Austen's Pride, a new musical about Jane Austen writing Pride & Prejudice, is now playing at 5th Avenue Theatre (I haven't seen it yet but a recent rehearsal was very promising). And tonight and this weekend the symphony is playing Bach on a typewriter!
