Does anyone want this dress that Lena Dunham once cried in? Bidding is now open on TheReal Real consignment website for this dress that will make you look like some kind of patchwork samurai. Bonus: Lena Dunham cried while wearing this dress on that fateful night Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. Sad!

The professor wrote an opinion piece for Politico accusing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for "tweeting the most Republican parts of the Bible."  Rubio has been tweeting a lot of Proverbs quotes lately.

Ten-month-old Charlie Gard will die later today, and the one institution that should speak for him seems to be more concerned about toeing the politically correct line.  The Catholic Church should be one of the most pro-life voices out there -- which is why Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia's statement on the terminally-ill child set to be disconnected from his feeding tube is so disturbing.  The…
