A Photo That Tom Hanks Posted To Twitter Is Freaking Everyone Out
Tom Hanks is used to perplexing his fans on Twitter.
The Hollywood star regularly posts photographs of random lost gloves and other items of clothing that he spots discarded on the street.
On Friday, however, he freaked out many of his 13 million followers with this snap of a building in New York City:
?This is the scariest building I?ve ever seen,? wrote Hanks of the windowless edifice. ?WTF goes on inside???
His question prompted plenty of speculation:
Amid the lighthearted suggestions, however, some fans actually attempted to answer Hanks factually.
While the building at 33 Thomas Street in Lower Manhattan is technically owned and occupied by AT&T and Verizon, it?s reportedly used as the National Security Agency?s spy hub.
So now Hanks knows.

Serena Williams Clears Up Rumors About The Sex Of Her Baby
Serena Williams wants to clear up all the ?It?s a girl!? rumors surrounding her pregnancy.
Last week, her sister, Venus, suggested that the unborn baby may be a girl in an interview at the French Open.
?She?s going to call me ?favorite aunt.? We all like ?baby V, baby Lyn, baby Isha?. We all want the baby to be named after us,? Venus told Eurosport, referring to the names of the Williams sisters.
On Thursday, the mom-to-be posted a note on Instagram and Twitter to clarify her sister?s comments and use of the pronoun ?she.?
?I think the surprise of knowing what you are going to have on that very special day you give birth is prob the best surprise you can ever have,? Serena wrote, adding that she?s been joking with her sisters about naming the baby after them, so the female pronoun became kind of default.
?I did not grow up with brothers, only sisters and we all say `she? more than ?he,??? she explained in the note. That said, she noted that she sometimes uses ?he? when joking about naming the baby after her father or her fiancé (Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian).
Ever since accidentally revealing her pregnancy on Snapchat, the tennis star has been quite open about her prenatal journey.
This past weekend, she and Ohanian shared photos from their babymoon in Monaco and the South of France

Jamaican-Chinese-American Woman Tells Little-Known Story Of 2 Blended Cultures
One woman?s story shows just how diverse the Chinese community actually is.
Paula Williams Madison, a retired NBC Universal executive who?s Jamaican-Chinese-American, decided to begin actively looking years ago for ties to her Chinese grandfather, Samuel Lowe. In 2012, her search led her back to Lowe?s home country, where she not only learned about his backstory but also finally connected with her Asian relatives.
The emotional journey is the subject of the 2014 documentary, ?Finding Samuel Lowe,? which is currently streaming online for free until June 13 on PBS.org. In it, it?s clear that Madison?s Asian heritage has become a crucial part of her identity.
?It felt like a hole in my heart and my soul has finally been filled,? told CNN of meeting her Chinese family members, who are of the Hakka ethnic group.
Madison, who was raised in Harlem by her Jamaican-Chinese mother Nell, said she often asked about her family?s past but details were scarce. Lowe, a shopkeeper in Kingston, last saw Nell when she was about 3 years old, ABC News reported. He allegedly left Kingston and returned to China, where he died.
Armed with the little information she had on Lowe, Madison chipped away at her heritage on genealogy websites, uncovering more about the grandfather?s immigration to Jamaica and past as a sugar plantation worker, according to Poynter. She ended up with a huge lead after attending a Hakka conference in Toronto, where she met scholar Keith Lowe, another Chinese-Jamaican with her grandfather?s last name. She asked him to help attempt to connect her with her family in China.
Sure enough, the scholar reached out his family and gave Madison some eye-opening news ? his uncle?s father was Lowe, ABC News reported.
Madison made the trip to China later that year and met with her Chinese relatives. Today, she?s close with her Chinese family members and visits the country often. She said she feels comfortable in the country.
?(When I?m there) I?m very happy,? she told CNN. ?I don?t feel like a foreigner. I?m feeling very at home.?
While Madison?s story is a rare one, her Jamaican-Chinese background isn?t all that uncommon. Hakka people, who hail mostly from South China, arrived in Jamaica in four main batches beginning around 1854. The Chinese Benevolent Association of Jamaica points out that although most Chinese immigrants who came to the country weren?t ?coolies,? or indentured servants, those who arrived early were in fact brought there due to the ?coolie? trade. They later established a social infrastructure that allowed for more migrants to follow.
Chinese workers were initially brought to the country to fill a labor gap that opened up when the European slave trade with western and central Africa drew to a close. While these contract laborers were paid, they lived and worked in poor conditions, often similar to what slaves were subjected to.
Several other waves of Chinese immigrants followed, many as workers from from other parts of the Caribbean, establishing a chain of migration. And by the late 19th to early 20th century, when they became a significant part of the local retail sector.

Domestic Violence Deserves The Same Outrage As The Gianforte Attack
The assault on Ben Jacobs has given us a window into what millions of women experience daily behind closed doors.
Wednesday evening the Republican candidate for Montana?s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives body slammed Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian. An eyewitness to the attack described it in a first-hand account, ?Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him.?
In the aftermath, the Billings Gazette rescinded its endorsement of Gianforte writing, ?We?re at a loss for words. And as people who wrangle words on a minute-by-minute basis, that doesn?t happen often. What happens even less ? hopefully never again ? is a Montana candidate assaulting a reporter.?
While the perpetrator and victim in this case are an unusual pairing? a candidate and a reporter? this type of interpersonal violence is far from unusual. Attacks like the one on Ben Jacobs happen every day to women at the hands of an intimate partner. In fact, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, a US woman is assaulted every nine seconds. A third of women and a quarter of men have been abused by an intimate partner.
Like most perpetrators of domestic violence, Gianforte presented a false account of the incident and blamed the victim, implying he deserved the assault. Through spokesperson Shane Scanlon, Gianforte explained, ?It is unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ.?
Perpetrators of domestic violence employ the same tactic, blaming the victim and framing a one-sided assault into misunderstanding or mutual dispute. Ben Jacobs was able to produce an audio recording of the assault, and several witnesses have corroborated his version of the attack. Domestic violence takes place in secret, without witnesses. Victims rarely report, and when they do, their perpetrators? Giantforte-esque explanations render criminal prosecution difficult.
The Gianforte assault has generated near-universal outrage from politicians, journalists, and the general public. To contrast, most incidents of domestic violence go unreported and happen in the privacy of the victim?s home without witnesses or media attention. When a celebrity is accused of domestic violence, the response is often inadequate. In 2015, Giants kicker Josh Brown was accused of domestic violence. In fact, his wife reported over 20 physical incidents to police. His initial punishment? A one-game suspension.
It is commendable that the Billings Gazette rescinded their endorsement of Gianforte. And, it is commendable that they articulated their outrage and horror in the face of such violence.
Domestic violence should generate the same outrage and sense of horror. Victims of domestic violence deserve the same level of concern, solidarity and sympathy as Ben Jacobs.

The Case For President Pence
In raising the issue of President Trump?s removal from office, either through impeachment or finding of impairment via the 25th Amendment, I keep hearing otherwise sensible people say, ?But then we?ll just get President Pence, and the Republicans will have time to regroup and recover.?
Well, think again.
For starters, Donald Trump is a unique menace to American democracy and to planet Earth. Getting him out of office should be the top priority ? the sooner, the better.
Secondly, in purely partisan terms, replacing Trump with Pence would be far from a romp for Republicans. Pence is no Trump. He lacks Trump?s feral charisma, his weird genius as an entertainer, and the image of being a champion of aggrieved heartland forgotten voters.
Pence was a fairly ordinary religious conservative Republican. He was an extremely clumsy governor of Indiana, facing a defeat for re-election. Indeed, he was one of the few Republican politicians even willing to consider being Trump?s running mate, mainly because he had few other options if he wanted to stay in politics.
Most importantly, if Trump is forced out of office, it will split the Republican base. The white nationalist, don?t-bother-me-with-facts hard core, for whom Trump can do no wrong, will be livid. The Republicans will have a very tough time rallying their troops for 2018, while Democrats will be on the march.
So, yes, on all counts, Pence is preferable to Trump. Nixon?s successor, Gerry Ford, a very nice and well-liked politician, could not manage to win re-election in 1976 against an unknown peanut farmer, one Jimmy Carter.
Ford?s decision to pardon Nixon was part of the story, but not the only part. (And Pence would be under substantial pressure to pardon Trump.) There was a landslide swing to Democrats in the 1976 congressional elections because the Republicans were disgraced and dispirited after Nixon.
Now, from the point of view of Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan, Pence may still be preferable to Trump ? because Trump is becoming more of an embarrassment by the day. The Republican outlook for 2018 might be even worse if Trump stays in the White House. But, given the larger stakes, that?s no reason for Democrats to want to keep Trump.
Oh, and there is one complication. What did Pence know, and when did he know it?
Unlike, Gerald Ford, who was a Republican insider but a complete outsider to the Nixon White House, Pence may not have entirely clean hands.
As head of Trump?s transition team, Pence evidently knew plenty about Michael Flynn, and he may well have known a lot more. Though Pence does not have to answer to Trump?s other grave misdeeds, such as firing the FBI director after he refused to go easy on Flynn or personally profiting from office, Pence could well get swept up in special counsel Robert Mueller?s investigation.
It would be truly bizarre, unprecedented, and constitutionally tricky to remove the president and vice-president simultaneously. Something like this nearly happened in the Watergate affair, when an entirely separate investigation revealed that Nixon?s V.P. Spiro T. Agnew, had extorted bribes and not reported them on his taxes while serving as Baltimore County Executive years earlier. (Nixon sure had a gift for picking talent.)
Agnew was allowed to plead guilty to one criminal count, on condition that he resign the vice-presidency. That was in October 1973, only ten months before Nixon was forced out. Imagine if Agnew had succeeded Nixon.
So, weirdly, we should be hoping that Pence is tarnished enough to be an embarrassment, but not so tarnished that he, too, has to leave office.
Stay tuned, folks.

Three Generations Of African-American Police Officers Talk About Policing Today

Top Oversight Dem: ‘I Want Every Note’ White House Has On Trump’s Meeting With Russians
WASHINGTON ? Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said Sunday he wants every single note the White House has on President Donald Trump?s meeting with Russian officials in the Oval Office earlier this month.
In the past week, multiple damning reports have emerged regarding what was discussed during Trump?s May 10 meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, which was closed to U.S. press. Lawmakers expressed frustration that they only learned of notes documenting what was said in the meeting from media reports, and struggled to catch up to one scandal before another surfaced.
?I want every note that they have,? Cummings, ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, said on ABC?s ?This Week.? ?There have been so many lies, so many contradictions. And I think documents will help us to ferret out exactly what?s the truth and what?s a lie.?
Cummings added that he hopes Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) will ?issue subpoenas so that we can get every document.? The clock is ticking for Chaffetz, who has announced he will resign at the end of June.
Chaffetz appeared alongside Cummings on Sunday, saying he doesn?t even know if there are documents on the president?s meeting, or if the memos that fired FBI Director James Comey reportedly kept on his conversations with Trump do indeed exist.
?I don?t know where they reside. I don?t know if there are documents,? Chaffetz said. ?But we?re certainly pursuing them. And if they?re there, I hope we find them and get them sooner rather than later.?
Chaffetz added that he expects to speak with Comey on Monday. The former FBI director has agreed to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee sometime after lawmakers? weeklong break for Memorial Day.
After his interview with ?This Week,? Cummings released a draft subpoena that he urged Chaffetz to sign and send to the White House.
?The White House is obstructing our investigation on the Oversight Committee, covering up for General Flynn, and refusing to produce a single document that Chairman Chaffetz and I asked for in a bipartisan letter two months ago,? Cummings said in a statement. ?I have prepared a subpoena that the chairman could sign today. If he does not want to do that, we ask that he allow the committee members to vote on it.?
