I talked to Nomiki Konst for @thecut.com about her split from former NYC mayor Bill De Blasio, who publicly cheated on her with the mayor of south Tucson. Nomiki says she and BDB talked about having a baby, and the day he told her he cheated they did a round of IVF. www.thecut.com/article/nomi...

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said Canada should be the 51st U.S. state as he proposes to erase the 5,525-mile-long border that separates the two countries.

I do like how through sheer inactivity the dem party is kind of ceding leadership to Bernie Sanders
Is there even another politician in their roster who can get half a million views in a day in a direct-to-the-people address?
