As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":

Lawrence O'Donnell Is Spot On....

No, Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas, you can’t vote for a dead turtle on Eternity Leave. www.wlky.com/article/mitc...

Iran delivers an ultimatum to the U.S.; Blanche confirmed in the dead of night; a U.S. general looks for an off-ramp, Michigan Dems hold a unity rally; and much more. Your Saturday update is here.

In case you don't follow basketball, Royce White was only rostered on an NBA team for a single season. He was used as a substitute in just three games, scoring a total of zero points. He made the stat lines by fouling twice. This is an NBA washout trying desperately to cash in and find some fame.

The degree of stupidity it took for someone to vote for this...

BRENNAN: Are you still confident Peggy Flanagan is gonna pull this off? BERNIE SANDERS: No, I'm not confident. I think it's gonna be a very close race. She's being outspent 7 to 1

In his first term, Governor Josh Green delivered the biggest tax cut for the middle class in state history and put more money back into the pockets of Hawaii families. In November, let’s reelect him so he can continue delivering for Hawaii. Congrats, Governor! Let’s win this.

JUST IN: Josh Green has clinched the Democratic nomination to serve a second term as governor of Hawaii. Onward!

Donald Trump posted a graphic targeting Abdul El-Sayed and his wife, comparing them to him and Melania with the caption “Two Very Different America’s.” Here’s how El-Sayed flipped it right back on him live on CNN:

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Tonight’s movie: STAND BY ME (1986) directed by Rob Reiner

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Took an Uber today and left my phone under the armrest. I panicked when I realized it was gone. So I borrowed a phone to call mine to see if it was in the room. The Uber driver picked up. She had come back and was in the lobby trying to find me. There *are* good people amongst us.
