In other news, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would have defunded Planned Parenthood. This would have been struck down in court anyway.

Meanwhile, Melania Trump has amended her lawsuit against the Daily Mail to remove specific monetary claims, probably because that would have opened the Trumps up to a discovery process that could reveal -gasp!- the elusive tax returns.

Finally, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) has clearly seen too many movies.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), whose district is just over 100 miles away from the U.S.-Mexico border, referenced the illicit drug trade in a discussion Wednesday with CNN’s Brianna Keilar on President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.

“The reality, Brianna, is that we have to measure all of the costs, ancillary and otherwise, and make the best decision that we can. But I can suggest to you that there are national security implications here for a porous border,” Franks said. “We sometimes used to make the point that if someone wanted to smuggle in a dangerous weapon, even a nuclear weapon, into America, how would they do it? And the suggestion was made, ‘Well, we'll simply hide it in a bale of marijuana.’

Unfortunately for us, our enemies probably aren't quite as stupid as Trent Franks. It's doubtful that anyone with the capability of acquiring a nuclear weapon would hide it under a bale of marijuana given that the border is crawling with drug-sniffing dogs specifically trained to sniff out marijuana. Plus, marijuana isn't even packaged and transported in "bales." Do you even crime, bro?

Of course, you can't exactly buy nuclear weapons in a fucking bodega, so we really have nothing to worry about.
