Bernie Sanders has won the Democratic presidential primary in Rhode Island.  With 55 percent of precincts reported, Sanders has 56.3 percent of the vote, Hillary Clinton 42 percent.  This week, the Vermont senator made plain why he's staying in all the way to the national convention. "We have got to involve people,"  he told CNN . "And it's not easy, because so many people have given up on the political process, including a whole lot of low-income people. Our job is to bring people into the political process." Sanders went on to say that his goal was to "revitalize American democracy." "What is good for America, what is good for the Democratic party, is to see a whole lot of people debating the real issues impacting our country," he said. "That's how you have a large voter turnout. And when you have a large voter turnout, Democrats and progressives win, and Republicans will lose." He might be right about that...

Beyoncé's new album  Lemonade  is now available on  Tidal , and it is like manna from heaven. The long wait is over, my friends. And that's not all — the album was also dropped in an amazingly epic way on her HBO special  Lemonade . Not only was the album released after months of rumors had been circulating, it also occurred on the same day as her new active wear line, Ivy Park, hit stores. And, you guys, this album is  good . Like really, really good. I think we all were sort of anticipating that Beyoncé’s new album would be amazing. I mean, it’s Beyoncé. But also because the queen of all things melodious gave us a taste of the music she’s been working on in secret for the last few months when she released “Formation” and its accompanying music video. Both showed the artist at her best: It combined her amazing talents as a singer and dancer with a clear political slant. But her new album goes above and beyond any of Beyoncé’s previous work....
