| Trump's transgender tizzy |
| If President Trump's tweeting is his preferred method of announcing sweeping military changes, someone should tell, say, the military. Specifics of Trump's transgender ban for the military still weren't ironed out Thursday, spinning Washington into a tizzy. The Navy said it won't discharge any transgender sailors until the commander in chief provides more specifics. And Marine Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a memo to the service chiefs saying no change in current policy will be made until Defense Secretary Jim Mattis receives direction from Trump. |
| Big bucks Bezos |
| Amazon's Jeff Bezos spent a few fleeting hours as the richest man in the world on Thursday. Bezos briefly dethroned Microsoft's Bill Gates thanks to a 3% surge in Amazon shares. Bezos' net worth rose to $92.3 billion compared to Gates' modest $90.8 billion. But by the time the market closed, Amazon shares slid 0.7%, making Bezos the runner-up. |
| What are we made of? |
| Is it possible we're made of the same stuff as the stars, moons and planets? Northwestern University astrophysicists believe so . Researchers there discovered the Milky Way — and people, by extension — could be partly made of extragalactic matter spouted from supernova explosions in far-distant galaxies. Using supercomputer simulations, the Northwestern team unexpectedly found that our galaxies gained their matter through intergalactic transfer. Or, basically, galactic winds tossed atoms from other galaxies to form the Milky Way. |
| Graham vs. Trump: The reckoning |
| There's one thing you shouldn't do around Sen. Lindsay Graham: Bad-mouth Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The strident defense by the South Carolina Republican of the embattled AG continued Thursday with fire-and-brimstone vigor. Graham told CNN that Trump's continued bashing of the former Alabama senator isn't "going over well in the Senate." And if Sessions is ousted, "there will be holy hell to pay," Graham declared. |

| Is it too late now to say sorry? |
| One photographer got a little too close to Justin Bieber on Wednesday night. Don't most people? The Biebs, after pulling out of a parking space in Beverly Hills, drove his truck into a 57-year-old paparazzo who stepped toward the vehicle. The photographer was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. According to police, Bieber "fully cooperated" and was released without receiving a citation. Maybe he should have been driving despacito? |
