"Avenue 5" on HBO is HILARIOUS

Extremely well written. We watched the first episode (there are only 3 so far) to see if our daughter could watch it. Mmmmm we let her but there quite a bit of language. I caught little jokes and things that I missed the first time.

Very quick fire dialogue and several story lines with passengers and crew. It's a cruise ship in space.

"Ma'am, I'm just as ignorant as you are. Okay that didn't sound right"


Highly recommend it

DOJ *at midnight Friday* admits the have 24 emails the House Investigation sought

Trump administration reveals it's blocking dozens of emails about Ukraine aid freeze, including President's role

Washington (CNN)The Department of Justice revealed in a court filing late Friday that it has two dozen emails related to President Donald Trump's involvement in the withholding of millions in security assistance to Ukraine -- a disclosure that came just hours after the Senate voted against subpoenaing additional documents and witnesses in Trump's impeachment trial, paving the way for his acquittal.

The filing, released near midnight Friday, marks the first official acknowledgment from the Trump administration that emails about the President's thinking related to the aid exist, and that he was directly involved in asking about and deciding on the aid as early as June. The administration is still blocking those emails from the public and has successfully kept them from Congress.

A lawyer with the Office of Management and Budget wrote to the court that 24 emails between June and September 2019 -- including an internal discussion among DOD officials called "POTUS follow-up" on June 24 -- should stay confidential because the emails describe "communications by either the President, the Vice President, or the President's immediate advisors regarding Presidential decision-making about the scope, duration, and purpose of the hold on military assistance to Ukraine."

The filings from the executive branch came Friday to meet a court-ordered January 31 deadline. A judge had specifically asked for an email-by-email breakdown of what the Justice Department redacted or withheld in Defense Department and OMB emails about the aid, and why it did so, after the Center for Public Integrity sued and got access to them in December through the Freedom of Information Act.
