P!nk, Mueller Report, Tig Notaro, Galaxy Fold, Rand Paul, Adele, Giorgio Moroder, Chris Evans: HOT LINKS

300+ PAGES. The Mueller report is more than 300 pages long. “The total of 300-plus pages suggests that Mr. Mueller went well beyond the kind of bare-bones summary required by the Justice Department regulation governing his appointment and detailed his conclusions at length. And it raises questions about what Mr. Barr might have left out of the four dense pages he sent Congress.”

OKURRR. Toledo local news anchors destroy current slang once and for all.

RELEASE IT. Senator Rand Paul blocks resolution calling for the Mueller Report to be made public. “Paul objected because Klobuchar wouldn’t agree to amend the nonbinding resolution to include provisions calling for the public release of communications between several Obama-era officials including former President Obama, former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.”

SHOW US THE MONEY. House Oversight Committee requests 10 years of Trump financial records: ‘House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., has requested a decade’s worth of President Donald Trump’s financial records from an accounting firm that prepared several years of financial statements for Trump, according to a letter Cummings sent on March 20, but which was only released on Wednesday.’

PIECES COMING? Adele hits the recording studio in NYC.

VIRGINIA. Gay University of Richmond student running for state senate: “He comes from Southern California and has only lived in Virginia’s 10th Senate District for seven months, but that hasn’t deterred an openly gay 23-year-old law student at the University of Richmond from pursuing elected office. Zachary Brown is hoping to unseat Republican state Sen. Glen Sturtevant (R-Richmond) in this November’s election.”

CHRIS EVANS. On Tom Brady: “I really hope he’s not a Trump supporter.”

RANKING OF THE DAY. Giorgio Moroder’s 20 greatest songs.

TRANS RIGHTS. Flags go up outside capitol offices. And Bernie Sanders was hit by Twitter followers for not ironing his.

TECH TEST OF THE DAY. Samsung really wants you to know its phone can fold again and again.

ACCIDENTAL SEATMATES OF THE DAY. Stephen Colbert and Tig Notaro.

NEW TUNE OF THE DAY. P!nk “Hustle”.

MACRO BUG OF THE DAY. Shag-carpet caterpillar from Ecuador: “This pretty Shag-carpet caterpillar (Prothysana or Tarchon felderi) of a moth in the Bombycidae or Apatelodidae family was filmed in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. Its bright colors (aposematic coloration) warn potential predators that it is unpalatable or even toxic or has venomous spines.”

THIRSTY THURSDAY. Takarid.

#HRCTwitterTakeover With Planned Parenthood President Leana Wen

1/ Hey HRC followers! This is @DrLeanaWen, president of @PPFA & @PPact. I’m here this #WomensHistoryMonth for an #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about our work with #LGBTQ communities and recent attacks on reproductive healthcare and LGBTQ rights.

��: @Pride_Portraits pic.twitter.com/1gWlH555YD

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

2/ LGBTQ people are Planned Parenthood patients, supporters, clinicians, and staff –– they’re part of our family. I am proud to lead Planned Parenthood, an organization that serves LGBTQ people with inclusive, quality, judgment-free care. #ThisIsHealthcare #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

3/ Did you know that Planned Parenthood provides hormone therapy to transgender patients at more than 100 health centers in 28 states? #HRCTwitterTakeOver pic.twitter.com/5AIXFQIogO

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

4/ In fact in 2018, @PPSWO @PPGulfCoast @PPHeartland @PPMaryland were all designated as LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leaders by @HRC Foundation’s Healthcare Equality Index. Everyone deserves access to the care they need & we’re glad to play our part. #HEI2018 t.co/ebUiL1NhVi

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

5/ Planned Parenthood provides healthcare services to many LGBTQ people — including well-person examinations, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, PrEP and PEP, hormone therapy, and other sexual and reproductive healthcare services. #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

6/ Planned Parenthood also offers HIV testing, counseling & treatment referrals. HIV & AIDS remains an urgent public health crisis that disproportionately affects Black & Latinx people, trans people, young people & men who have sex with men. #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/Bu4sPRefvD

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

7/ LGBTQ people are more likely to be uninsured than non-LGBTQ people—& trans patients are especially likely to face discrimination or lack of knowledge from their doctor. It’s critical that people can access compassionate, non-judgmental & affordable care t.co/HlG0WRSCX4

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

8/ As we celebrate #BiHealthMonth, it’s important to recognize the healthcare needs of the bisexual, queer, pansexual & fluid community. We understand bi+ people experience unique health challenges & medical professionals should provide compassionate care. t.co/2kKC7Yz1TZ

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

9/ Bottom line: Healthcare is a human right & all LGBTQ people deserve access to sexual & reproductive healthcare free of discrimination. That’s why we support the #EqualityAct, which would provide non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people nationwide t.co/gV8e7Mi9EM

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

10/ We’re also pushing back on the administration’s attack on #TitleX, which helps people struggling to make ends meet access sexual & reproductive healthcare. This is another way they’re targeting LGBTQ people, POC & people with low-incomes. #ProtectX #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/R41HUkqCBj

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

11/ They’re trying to gag doctors like me & dismantle our nation’s program for affordable birth control & reproductive healthcare that serves 4 million women and families—41% of whom Planned Parenthood is proud to serve. This is illegal & unethical. #ProtectX #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

12/ Keeping people unhealthy is a tool of oppression & we’re going to do everything we can to fight this unethical rule, which would harm:

✖️LGBTQ people
✖️Immigrants
✖️Women
✖️People of color
✖️People with low incomes#ProtectX #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/xTB3rRUCho

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019

13/ As president of @PPFA & @PPact, I’m proud Planned Parenthood delivers quality sexual & reproductive healthcare to people in LGBTQ communities & defends their rights — no matter what. I’m excited to continue fighting alongside @HRC. #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/PfCIY3ZzK7
