Things you need to know
1. Trump has played a lot of golf since becoming President
Donald Trump made a lot of campaign promises in the lead up to being elected President of the United States. One of those promises was that he’d spend his time in the White House working his behind off, but it’s coming to light that he has spent 20% of his first six months on the job on the golf course.
Trump has been in office 164 days. Today is the 35th day he's spent at one of his golf courses. https://t.co/okQXWOZ473

4. The Tour de France is underway and has already produced a fantastic photo
Caption this… The Tour de France is a couple days in and has already produced a classic picture. Photographer Chris Auld caught a few riders mid-crash as a number of other riders struggle to avoid to pile up in the background. The internet has already gone crazy with photoshops and funny captions, of course.
