👓 Gillibrand: If Trump wants due process, we’ll have hearings on allegations against him | The Hill
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) went after President Trump on Saturday for his tweet questioning a lack of "due process" in abuse claims, saying that Congress could hold hearings about sexual misconduct allegations against him if he wanted due process. “The President has shown through words and actions that he doesn’t value women.

📖 Read pages 168-192 of Henry and Beezus by Beverly Cleary
Again, some unnecessary anti-girl statements that really weren’t necessary. While somewhat funny, not quite as funny a chapter as Cleary’s usual work.
📖 Read pages 195-244 of Ratio by Michael Ruhlman
The Custard Continuum may have been one of my favorite parts of the book. I particularly like that he includes a recipe for butterscotch, which he’s right in saying that there are so few.
