  3. The Department of Justice has again indicted James Comey, this time arguing that a photo of seashells on the beach constituted a threat to assassinate the president.

And the FCC is questioning whether Disney’s ABC stations are operating in the public interest, presumably because the president is mad at Jimmy Kimmel again.
