Michael Bloomberg on a possible 2020 run as a Democrat “The Republicans did not exercise the check and balance on the White House that the Constitution calls for,” Bloomberg says. He says he doesn't regret not running for president in 2016, but he says he could possibly run in 2020: "I've looked at it and I've said we'll, beginning of the year, focus on it." "What I have asked for, and most of my friends have asked for are background checks," Bloomberg says of gun control. "We shouldn't be selling guns to minors, to people with psychiatric problems or people with criminal records.

Bloomberg On Climate Change -- The former NYC mayor reacts to the White House saying climate change report isn't based on fact: "When you ... see the...

Tegan And Sara December 2018 (Burbank, CA) – High School, a memoir by Warner Bros. Records recording artists Tegan and Sara, will be published in the fall of 2019 by MCD, a division of Farrar, Straus & Giroux, alongside Simon & Schuster Canada and Virago in the United Kingdom. High School is the revelatory and unique coming-of-age story of the identical twins from Calgary, Alberta. It follows Tegan and Sara as they grew amid grunge and rave culture in the 90s, well before they became the celebrated musicians and global LGBTQ icons we know today. While grappling with their identity and sexuality, often alone, they also faced academic meltdown, their parents’ divorce, and the looming pressure of what might come after high school. Written in alternating chapters from both Tegan’s point of view and Sara’s, the book is a raw account of the music, drugs, alcohol, love and friendship they explored in their formative years. A transcendent story of first loves and first son...
